Modular, Layer-0 blockchain is called Planck₀ and serves as the basis for the launch of AI-Native Layer-1S, rollups, and distributed physical infrastructure networks (Depins). This allows Web3 entrepreneurs to integrate AI directly into distributed services and networks, eliminating the need to manually build connections to models or calculate networks.
Planck leverages a global GPU processing network, with $230 million worth of specialized AI hardware already committed to deployment or ecosystems. By bringing this vast parallel processing power to Web3 entrepreneurs with over 30 blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Nearby and Polka Dot, Planck places itself as the foundation of decentralized AI services.
Discussing the announcement of Planck₀, CEO Diam Hamstra said, “Planck is not just a blockchain, it's a full stack infrastructure layer dedicated to AI and Depin. It promotes the existence of Deverized Dealing of Ai by combining high-performance hardware, modular blockchain design and real-world revenue streams.

Additional Information
Core Architecture
Planck introduces a unique two-tier architecture –Planck₀ and Plank₁– Power AI model deployment, distributed cloud services, and next-generation physical infrastructure networks. This full stack platform combines high-performance GPU hardware, native staking, tokenized computational rewards, and interoperable blockchain solutions to eliminate fragmentation and vendor lock-in.
-
Planck₀:Modular Layer-0 blockchains that provide shared validator infrastructure via Planck tunnels, interoperable GPU computing, and seamless cross-chain messaging support over 30 blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Near, and Polkadot, and integrate USDC payment rails for Stablecoin interoperability. Planck₀ allows Sovereign Layer-1 chains to launch instantly access security, calculations, and liquidity.
-
Plank₁: EVM compatibility layer-1 optimized for AI calculations Plank AI Cloud and AI Studio. Protected by reviewed enterprise-grade GPU operators, Planck₁ focuses on high-performance AI workloads, including training, inference, and tweaking, without supporting token launches or Layer-2.
Flagship products: Planck AI Cloud and AI Studio
Plank AI Cloud Distributed access to top layer GPUs (such as H100, A100, B200S, H200S, RTX 4090) offers robust SLAs and flexible bare metal computing at up to 90% lower costs than traditional cloud providers. Developers launch and schedule AI jobs via the GPU console, pay with USDC or native $Planck tokens, and revenue-driven buybacks are integrated into Tokonemics.
AI Studio Provides a low-code environment for rapid AI model deployment.
-
Open source or instant deployment of your own models
-
Pipeline automation and dataset management
-
On-chain fine tuning and reasoning
-
Custom modules and advanced orchestration support
Together, these products allow developers and businesses to build AI applications in hours rather than weeks without the constraints of centralized cloud providers.
$ PLANCK Tokens and Staking Architecture
$PLANCK tokens are the heart of the ecosystem and provide power.
-
GPU staking: The operator checks uptime and accesses the workload.
-
Liquid staking (lplanck): Users lock $PLANCK to receive rebase tokens, earn rewards, and unlock additional utilities.
-
Co-starring:LPLANCK holders delegate to the GPU pool to share revenue and emissions.
-
Governance:LPLANCK holders participate in DAOs and manage emissions, rewards and ecosystem strategies.
-
Fiat back buyback: Revenues from USDC GPU Jobs are primarily used to buy back $Planck, enhancing the demand and value of the takers.
Supported by industry leaders
Planck is supported by prominent figures and institutions in Web3 and AI infrastructure, including:
-
Block earringsco-founder of Tether and architect of the $4 billion EOS Token Rays.
-
DNA FundA major web3 venture company co-founded by Pierce and Scott Walker.
-
GDA Capitalled by Michael Gord, specializes in tokenization and market production.
-
Depin x Capitaldonations of over $30 million on enterprise-grade GPUs.
-
Rollman Managementsupporting more than $200 million in compliance and infrastructure allocated to GPU hardware and data center acquisitions.
Planck raised more than $3.5 million in early stage capital, and another $4 million was committed to selling tokens.
