// OVERVIEW

What Quiver is

Quiver is an aggregating routing & settlement layer for decentralized GPU compute. It indexes live supply, price and reputation across GPU DePIN networks — Akash, io.net, Nosana and more — and routes each job to the cheapest provider that can actually run it. Settlement happens on Solana in SOL/USDC, with the $QVR token powering route quality, priority and a deflationary burn.

The analogy: what Jupiter did for token swaps on Solana, Quiver does for GPU compute. Quiver does not own any hardware — it is a routing layer on top of existing supply.

// HOW IT WORKS
STEP 01
Index
The backend polls each GPU network (Akash, io.net, Nosana) every ~60s, normalizes every offer into a common NCU price and reputation score, and stores a live supply index.
STEP 02
Route
You send a job spec (GPU class, duration, region, reliability floor). Quiver scans the index and returns the cheapest offer that actually satisfies the spec — plus alternatives.
STEP 03
Settle
On confirmation, funds are escrowed on Solana and released on proof of completion. A routing fee is split: burn $QVR / keeper reward / treasury. (Escrow + execution ship in Phase 1.)
NCU — Normalized Compute Unit

Different networks price different GPUs differently, so Quiver normalizes every offer into a common unit. Each GPU class has a weight (its relative power), and pricePerNcuUsd = pricePerHourUsd / ncuMultiplier. That lets you compare apples to apples across Akash, io.net and Nosana.
