What AxonDAO does

AxonDAO is a decentralized science (DeSci) platform that combines enterprise GPU compute infrastructure with user-controlled biometric health data tools. Incorporated as AxonDAO LLC in 2022 — succeeding AxonSystems, a healthcare technology company founded in 2013 — the entity is based in the United States. AxonDAO operates a dual-track compute business: enterprise GPU rental through AxonGPU (NVIDIA B200 and RTX PRO 6000 via Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) and self-serve V100 compute through AxonOS, a browser-based full Linux desktop with direct GPU passthrough. The platform targets healthcare AI organizations, life sciences researchers, and academic institutions needing high-performance compute, supplemented by individual health data contributors and DeSci builders who receive compute credits through a grants program.

Revenue model

1. GPU Compute Rental: Revenue from renting GPU compute capacity including enterprise B200 and RTX Pro 6000 GPUs through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure partnerships, and self-serve V100 access through AxonOS. Users pay in ETH or supported tokens with AXGT holders receiving tiered discounts (5-25%) based on wallet balance.
2. Token Transaction Fees: 1% fee on any buy or sell of AXGT token distributed equally: 1/3 to AXGT liquidity pool on Uniswap, 1/3 to AxonDAO administration, and 1/3 to the DeSci Fund for community grants and initiatives.
3. GPU Revenue Buyback: 20% of net revenue in USD is used to buy back AXGT tokens from the market, contributing to token value accrual for holders.
4. Tokenized GPU Credits: ERC-1155 tokenized GPU credits enabling forward markets (25-75% discounts on 7-180 day purchases), AMM-based secondary trading with 0.3% fees, and dynamic priority tiers (Standard 1x, Express 1.5x, Instant 2-3x).

Core offering

AxonDAO provides decentralized science (DeSci) infrastructure combining GPU compute rental (enterprise B200/RTX Pro 6000 via AxonGPU Enterprise and self-serve V100 via AxonOS) with user-controlled health data platforms (CureRING wearable, AxonVoice, Psyonic) and a governance token (AXGT). The platform enables researchers to access enterprise-grade GPU capacity on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure while letting individuals own and monetize their biometric health data through consent-verified workflows.

Product overview

AxonDAO is a decentralized science (DeSci) infrastructure platform offering a unified ecosystem of GPU compute products, health data applications, and governance tools. The core platform consists of AxonGPU for enterprise and self-serve GPU rental (B200, RTX Pro 6000, V100), powered by AxonOS providing full Linux desktop with direct GPU passthrough in browser. The AXGT governance token enables community voting and GPU rental discounts. Ecosystem projects include CureRING (wearable biometric data), AxonVoice (voice biomarker research), Psyonic (microdosing mood research), CANABIT (cannabis education), PHEAL (music-mood platform), and Peake (fitness tracking). Supporting infrastructure includes GPU Revenue Dashboard for transparency, Grants Program for researcher support, DeSci Treasury Protocol for fund distribution, and GPU Credit Marketplace for tokenized compute trading.
