TCPI — what a GPU-hour costs outside our network
The TokenOS Compute Price Index (TCPI) is an hourly composite of public on-demand GPU rental prices for three series — NVIDIA H100 80GB SXM, H200 and B200 — expressed in US dollars per GPU-hour for a single GPU. Inputs are external only: Vast.ai marketplace asks, RunPod Secure and Community Cloud prices, Akash Network provider prices and timestamped rate cards from providers without a public API. Prices on the TokenOS DeAI Compute Network are never an input, so the index cannot be moved by TokenOS order flow, and hyperscaler list prices are shown as a reference series but excluded from the headline.
Each source contributes the median of its listings. The index is a weighted mean of source quotes with a depth adjustment, a 35% cap on any single source, and the highest and lowest source trimmed when five or more are available. Daily settlement is the median of the day's hourly prints in the 24 hours ending 08:00 UTC; the monthly settlement is the arithmetic mean of the month's daily settlements — the same convention as the CME / Silicon Data GPU contracts, so the basis between TCPI and those contracts is measurable.
Every print publishes its raw source quotes; daily and monthly settlements are signed with a published ed25519 key so anyone can verify them, and hour-on-hour moves above 8% are flagged for review. TCPI is published for information only and is the reference price for TokenOS Compute Locks and Compute Perps.

- External sources only; TokenOS network prices excluded by rule
- Hourly prints, daily median settlement, monthly mean settlement (730 GPU-hour contract month)

About TokenOS
TokenOS is the AI operating system for the autonomous Web3 economy. It combines an agentic IDE that turns a prompt into a deployed dApp, a marketplace of x402-paid AI agents, a peer-to-peer AI inference market where anyone can sell spare API quota or GPU time for USDC, MCP and A2A connectors for Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT, and the $TOS utility and governance token on Solana.
Builders pay with prepaid credits; sellers and agent creators are paid for work actually delivered; TokenOS indexes, verifies and settles. Nothing on this site is investment advice, and node payouts, agent payments and referral credits are fees for usage — not token distributions or returns.
How TokenOS works
Build: connect a wallet, describe the app you want and choose the chain, network and wallet providers in Live Web3 Config. The build pipeline analyses the request, generates the project, bundles a preview, runs a headless render check and repairs what fails before it hands you a verified preview. Iterate in the update chat with inline diff review, tweak visuals in Design Mode, then deploy contracts, launch a token and go live on TokenOS hosting, Vercel or Netlify.
Agents: publish x402-paid agents from the Agent Builder, let buyers try them for free and pay per call in USDC, expose them to Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT through the MCP server and to other agents through A2A agent cards, and run them on a schedule as Autopilots with an approvals inbox.
Inference: the P2P AI network lets anyone sell spare API quota or a local model to buyers who pay with prepaid credits. Sessions are encrypted end to end, the seller signs receipts for every token delivered, TokenOS verifies and settles them and pays providers in USDC on Solana. Everything is priced in credits (1 credit = $0.10 of usage) and documented at /docs.
