The thesis: own the compute.
The newest GPU systems demand substantial capital, procurement access, and colocation capacity. Well-funded operators and startups have an advantage. Fractional vault participation offers a different route to compute exposure.
Some crypto projects reward holders with inference, API tokens, or OpenRouter credits. Those credits are consumed to use a service; they do not, by themselves, give holders a claim on physical hardware, rental cash flow, or resale proceeds.
RACKSLICE’s proposal is to build positions in GPU vaults using creator fees. The economic thesis combines potential rental income with the value of the underlying equipment. Neither the token nor the hardware is guaranteed to appreciate.
What the 22–25% figure means
Silicon Exchange publishes an estimated APY of 22–25% for Genesis B300, based on its rental and resale model. It is an underlying vault estimate, not an APY for this token. A 2% annual management fee is published; its calculation base and the exact net-return methodology need confirmation. Actual rent, downtime, costs, and resale values can change the outcome.
The 70/30 fee flow.
The operating plan allocates 70% of project fees to eligible GPU vault contributions and 30% to buybacks and treasury. Project fees are the amount attributable to the project after protocol fees.
The selected configuration uses a fixed 2% trading fee. With Meteora’s 20% protocol share of that fee, 1.6% of traded volume belongs to the project: 1.12% for the GPU reserve and 0.48% for buybacks and treasury. These are configuration targets until verified against the connected token. Protocol fee source
The reserve allocation would be converted into a payment asset accepted by Silicon Exchange. The remaining allocation supports a published buyback and treasury policy. The exact buyback schedule, treasury retention, conversion costs, and tax treatment are not finalized.
Fee collection, authorized wallets, and on-chain accounting must match the published token configuration. The allocation applies to project fees once; fees already divided by a protocol must not be split again.
Holder earnings, pro rata.
The proposed policy is to distribute net earnings attributable to our vault position to eligible holders in proportion to their eligible token balance. “Pro rata” means each eligible holder receives the same percentage of the pool as their share of the eligible token supply.
Your eligible percentage × the net pool. No payout is promised.
Snapshot timing, eligible supply, excluded wallets, minimum payouts, claim mechanics, costs, and distribution frequency must be specified before distributions begin. Holding a project token does not automatically create an implemented claim on GPU earnings or hardware.
Underlying vault distributions are described as monthly and based on rent actually collected. This project’s proposed holder payout schedule is a separate policy and has not been implemented.
Small milestones. More compute.
The reserve allocation targets are $100, $500, $1,000, $2,500, $5,000, and $10,000.
At $10,000 allocated, the plan is to review another contribution tranche. An additional account may be considered only if Silicon Exchange expressly permits it. We have not verified a $10,000 per-account limit; extra accounts must not be used to evade platform limits or eligibility checks.
As Silicon Exchange launches more GPU vaults, we plan to consider adding positions to the same treasury. There would be one project token, rather than a new token for each vault. Future vault availability, eligibility, and investment terms remain subject to review.
See the milestone trackerCrypto in. Hardware exposure out.
Silicon Exchange supports crypto contributions. The inspected Genesis vault contract is on Tempo mainnet (chain ID 4217), with OpenUSD (OUSD) as its funding token. A USDC funding route is present in the site’s payment code; its authenticated checkout has not been tested. SOL is not a direct payment asset for this vault.
- Collect and record project fees through the authorized wallets.
- Account for the 70% reserve allocation and the 30% buybacks / treasury allocation.
- Convert or bridge reserve funds through a supported route.
- Contribute through an approved Silicon Exchange account.
- Publish the fee receipt, conversion, contribution, and share evidence.
The new $RS pool is connected. Use the Claim fees page to connect its creator or partner wallet and approve a trading-fee claim. Transfers, vault purchases, and holder distributions require separate implementation and verifiable receipts.
Ownership & risks.
- Raise and lockup: funds are locked during the raise. The source describes a refund if the raise fails; recovery after procurement or a later failure may be partial.
- Liquidity: the source describes transferable or sellable vault shares after the raise. A buyer, exit price, or liquid market is not guaranteed.
- Operating risk: renter defaults, downtime, hardware failures, and hosting expenses can reduce income.
- Market risk: GPU hardware can depreciate. Token prices can fall independently of vault performance, including to zero.
- Legal rights: asset title, the contracting entity, KYC, geographic restrictions, fees, refund mechanics, and any project-to-holder rights require a complete agreement.
