Planck₀
Overview
Planck₀ is a Layer 0 modular blockchain network purpose-built to power DePINs, and modular Layer 1s with embedded access to enterprise-grade GPU infrastructure. By combining decentralized base-layer consensus with scalable compute primitives, Planck₀ is redefining how AI and infrastructure protocols are deployed, interconnected, and scaled.
Vision
The future of AI and decentralized infrastructure will require a more composable, performant, and compute-aware base layer — one that enables:
Sovereign AI chains and DePIN networks with shared security
Native access to GPU compute, at 90% lower cost than traditional cloud providers
A modular blockchain framework optimized for AI orchestration, training, inference, and coordination
Planck₀ is building that foundation.
Architecture
Planck₀ includes two tightly integrated components:
1. Modular Layer Zero
Consensus Layer: Uses proof-of-stake with dynamic validator sets
Shared Security: Allows app-chains and AI L1s to inherit security from Planck₀
Interchain Messaging: Enables seamless messaging and interoperability between sovereign chains, AI agents, and DePIN networks
Rollup-Friendly: Fully compatible with modular execution environments and zero-knowledge/optimistic rollups
2. Decentralized Compute Layer
Built-in GPU Access: Native access to Planck’s global GPU network (H100s, A100s, 3090s, etc.)
Compute as a Primitive: APIs and smart contracts can request, schedule, and monetize GPU compute
DePIN Native: Integrates decentralized providers and bare-metal node operators from across the globe
Key Use Cases
AI Agent Chains: Launch autonomous agent networks with real-time inference and training
AI SaaS L1s: Deploy custom vertical-specific AI chains with embedded GPU access
DePINs with Economic Settlement: Build networks of decentralized physical infrastructure (storage, robotics, compute) that leverage Planck₀ for payments and coordination
Modular L1s & Rollups: Use Planck₀ as the base layer for modular chains with built-in compute incentives
Ecosystem Utility
The Planck₀ architecture enables:
Compute-Aware Smart Contracts: Schedule and pay for GPU usage directly from on-chain logic
Tokenized Compute Economy: A marketplace of compute where rewards are streamed to GPU node operators
Staking & Security: Validators secure the base layer and provide settlement guarantees for connected L1s
Cross-Chain AI Orchestration: Coordinate multi-agent or multi-chain AI processes across domains
Token Mechanics
Planck₀'s native token plays several key roles:
Staking & Governance: Validators stake to secure the network; token holders govern key protocol upgrades
Compute Payments: Used to pay for GPU usage and VM/container deployments
Incentive Layer: Powers economic rewards for GPU node operators and compute miners
Bonding for App-Chains: App-chains can bond tokens to bootstrap shared security and launch with built-in compute

Summary
Planck₀ is not just a blockchain—it's a compute-aware coordination layer for a new class of AI-native networks. By merging modular blockchain architecture with decentralized GPU infrastructure, Planck₀ is unlocking a new category of applications and infrastructure services that go far beyond what current Layer 1s can support.
