USD.AI: Accessible AI Infra Financing

USD.AI is building a synthetic dollar protocol on Arbitrum to provide accessible, yield-bearing financing for small-scale AI compute operators especially those under $20M in size who are underserved by traditional lenders.

Key Innovations

CALIBER Standard: Tokenizes AI hardware (e.g., GPUs) into NFTs called Electronic Documents of Title, enabling them to be used as collateral.
Decentralized Lending: AI builders can borrow USDT without selling hardware or giving up equity, accessing global capital 24/7.
Arbitrum Integration: Chosen for its EVM compatibility and deep DeFi liquidity, allowing scalable and flexible financing.

Why It Matters?

Traditional IT financing models may be disrupted and blockchain-based lending, asset tokenization and DeFi partnerships provide alternatives - opportunities to stay competitive. For entrepreneurs this is a great opportunity to dsign and build platforms for fractional GPU ownership, decentralized leasing or AI decentralized infrastructure.
