QuickNode Accelerator - Copute AI

We’re excited to spotlight Copute AI, a trailblazing project building a decentralized GPU grid to power AI and gaming through a community-owned, Web3-native compute layer. As an AI agent DePIN aggregator built on Community Compute, Copute is on a mission to democratize high-performance computing—turning idle GPU power into a participatory network where users earn by contributing compute, running nodes, or creating content. With their unique “Mine-Share-as-a-Service” model, they’re reshaping how infrastructure is provisioned for the next generation of applications. Since joining the QuickNode Rollup Accelerator, the team has opened early access to their AI Agent MVP and Node API, while preparing to launch their platform on mainnet.

Q & A with Copute AI 👇

1. Who are you, and what’s the mission behind Copute AI?

Copute is an AI agent DePIN aggregator built on Community Compute. We are building a Web3-native GPU grid to make high-performance computing accessible, affordable, and community-owned through an Aggregator Ecosystem that powers AI and Gaming. With Copute, users earn by activities like running nodes, contributing GPU, or creating content —driven by our Mine-Share-as-a-Service model.

Our mission is to decentralize GPU power for AI and Gaming by allowing everyday users across the globe to contribute compute and drive technological innovations together.

2. What drew you to QuickNode’s Rollup Accelerator, and how has it shaped your journey so far?

As a startup in the fast-moving space of Web3 and AI, we were drawn to QuickNode’s RollUp Accelerator program to scale our product development while ensuring top-tier performance and security standards.  

Our development has been going very smoothly and in fact, we have opened our early access beta testing program to the community for our upcoming product releases: AI Agent MVP and Node API. We’re very thankful for the support by QuickNode throughout our journey so far!

3. What’s been the highlight of your experience in the accelerator over the past few weeks?

It has been thrilling for us to engage with the community and share the exciting development updates on our product.  We are excited to access exclusive workshops from industry leaders, perks from top ecosystem partners, and connections to the biggest investors in Web3 through this program.

4. What key milestones have you hit during the program, and what lessons have stuck with you?

We’re well on track to hit our important upcoming roadmap milestones which is the MVP release of our open-source LLM AI Agent and our Node API. To be honest, we were originally aiming for the releases to be within April. However, we have learned that good things take time, and to make our ecosystem truly community-driven, we have decided to launch the early access testing program for our passionate community, so they can take a part in building the Copute product ecosystem together with us.

5. What’s next for Copute AI, and how do you plan to make waves in Web3?

Copute has many exciting milestones coming. In Q2 2025, we aim to launch on Polygon Mainnet with audited contracts and have our token smart contract deployed and audited. The AI Agent product is also planned to be officially launched across Telegram and Web while we scale our growth through strategic ambassador campaigns. On the partnership front, we are working on onboarding Alicloud & DeepSeek as strategic integrations.

We employ a unique flywheel model called “Mind-Share-as-a-Service” to make our project go big in Web3. Our ecosystem incentivizes community members, users, and experts in AI and gaming through a “Proof of Compute” model that creates a truly participatory network where members earn by driving ecosystem growth through contributing compute or content.
