what's gaib?
GAIB is the economic layer for AI infrastructure, tokenizing GPU assets to create yield-generating opportunities backed by real-world AI compute demand. It introduces AID, the AI synthetic dollar, allowing investors to earn yields from AI-powered infrastructure while maintaining liquidity through staking as sAID. The project bridges AI and blockchain finance, enabling participation in DeFi protocols like lending and structured products. GAIB is expanding into robotics, financing deals such as those with Siam AI, and has raised funding to scale tokenized GPU and robotics assets onchain. It operates across multiple chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and Sei Network.
Gaib confirmed as a pure scam; airdrop claims were open yesterday.
