A SUPERBLOCK initiative, in development
AI compute on clean power, owned by its users.
Modular data centres with their own renewable energy, tokenised for shared ownership and governed on-chain by the community.
Demand for compute is outrunning the grid that powers it.
$500B+
Projected global data centre market by 2030
222 GW
Data centre power capacity expected by 2030, up from about 81 GW in 2024
$155B+
Planned 2025 data centre and AI spend by two hyperscalers, still short of demand
1 GW
The community-owned capacity SBX GRID is designed to reach
Market figures are industry projections cited in the SBX GRID whitepaper.
Two layers, designed as one.
Most data centres treat power as something to buy later. Every SBX GRID site is planned as compute and energy together.
A federation of modular data centres
Regional hubs
Prefabricated modules that grow from 10 MW towards 100 MW for AI training and HPC.
Edge nodes
Sites under 1 MW close to users for low-latency inference and content.
On-chain coordination
Every site registers capacity on-chain; smart contracts match workloads to supply.
AI operations
Predictive scheduling moves jobs to where capacity, cost and clean power line up.
From request to settlement, in the open.
To a developer it feels like any cloud. Underneath, matching, placement and payment run on-chain.
Request
A team asks for GPUs through a portal or API, the same way they would on a public cloud.
Match
A smart contract matches the job to capacity by price, location, energy mix and data residency rules.
Run
Training lands on a hub with high-speed interconnect. Inference goes to the nearest edge node.
Settle
Usage is paid in EN-C or stablecoins and logged on-chain. Revenue flows to sites and the treasury.
Sited where clean power is abundant.
Desert solar in MENA, hydro and cool air in the Nordics, wind across the US plains. Location is the first efficiency decision a data centre makes.
Token model
Usage becomes ownership.
Revenue from paying customers is designed to flow back to the people who fund and govern the network, not to a distant shareholder base.
- 01
Customers use compute
AI teams, enterprises and Web3 projects pay for capacity.
- 02
Sites earn revenue
Colocation, GPU leasing and dedicated contracts, held by each site SPV.
- 03
Treasury allocates
The DAO sets the split between reserves, expansion and holders.
- 04
Value returns
Distributions to EN-R holders and EN-G buybacks, proven on-chain.
- 05
Holders govern
Stakers vote on where to build next, closing the loop.
Enterprise trust, open ownership.
SBX GRID sits between the hyperscale clouds and Web3 compute markets and takes the strongest parts of each.
Who owns the infrastructure
- Hyperscale cloudsCorporate shareholders
