One Ecosystem, One Token: How NLOV Connects Compute, Models, and Agents

In the early stages of AI, access to large-scale GPU compute was limited to well-funded corporations and research labs. Neurolov aims to change that by building a decentralized ecosystem where everyday devices can contribute to—and benefit from—the AI economy.

At the center of this system is NLOV, a Solana-based utility token that coordinates participation across compute, AI models, and emerging autonomous agents.

Four Pillars of the Ecosystem

Neurolov integrates multiple services under a single incentive and payment layer:

  1. Decentralized Compute Marketplace

    • Developers and researchers rent GPU power for AI workloads.
    • Contributors supply spare capacity via the NeuroSwarm browser grid.

  2. AI Model Studio

    • A library of pre-trained models available for inference and experimentation.
    • Models range from image synthesis to natural language processing.

  3. Autonomous Agents (Roadmap)

    • Future support for task-specific AI agents.
    • Example: decentralized agents executing workflows such as trading, content generation, or research tasks.

  4. Unified Token Layer

    • NLOV functions as the payment and reward medium across all services.

NLOV as a Utility.

Neurolov’s token is built as an SPL asset on Solana. Its role is strictly functional:

  • Compute credits: Pay for GPU cycles in the marketplace.
  • Model and agent access: Unlock premium inference or specialized agents.
  • Staking for priority: Contributing nodes can stake tokens to increase priority in task assignment.
  • Governance: Token holders can participate in decision-making around upgrades and resource allocation.

Note: This is a technical description of token design and function. It is not investment advice.

Network Incentives Without Speculation

Neurolov incorporates mechanisms to keep participation active, but framed around system contribution rather than profit expectations:

  • Contribution-based rewards: Devices that provide compute cycles receive proportional rewards.
  • Recognition systems: Metrics like leaderboards or contribution milestones highlight top participants.
  • Community programs: Bug bounties, developer contributions, and outreach initiatives may be incentivized with NLOV.

This design follows Proof-of-Useful-Work principles, where rewards are tied to tasks that generate real-world value (AI inference, training, data processing).

Economic Design Principles

Instead of positioning NLOV as a speculative asset, Neurolov applies concepts from tokenized resource allocation:

  • Micro-payments: Users only pay for the compute they consume, avoiding large upfront infrastructure costs.
  • Two-sided markets: Incentives are distributed to both demand (developers renting compute) and supply (contributors providing GPUs).
  • DAO-style governance: Decisions around upgrades and token parameters are shaped by stakeholders, not centralized entities.

These principles anchor token usage to practical functionality, reducing reliance on speculation.

Why This Matters

AI demand continues to accelerate, but centralized GPU providers remain costly and gated. By combining distributed compute, model hosting, and agent infrastructure under a single token layer, Neurolov experiments with a new approach: browser-first, token-coordinated AI infrastructure.
