Hedging GPU revenue

For GPU owners: fix next week's rental income today.

You rent out GPUs and want next week's income settled now, whatever happens to rental prices.

What the hedge does

For each week and GPU, the HedgeRouter:

  1. takes $672 of rrUSD from you and mints one LONG and one SHORT,
  2. sells the LONG into the week's Kuru order book at the best bids,
  3. sends you the SHORT and the sale proceeds.

You end up holding SHORT, which pays more when rental rates fall. Combined with the rent you actually earn, your week is locked at about floor + proceeds ÷ 168 per GPU-hour.

Worked example

You hedge one GPU for a week and the LONG sells for $466. Your net outlay is $672 − $466 = $206, and your locked rate is $1 + $466 ÷ 168 ≈ $3.77/hr.

  • Rates fall to an average of $2.50: you earn $420 renting, SHORT pays $420, minus the $206 outlay, so $634.
  • Rates rise to $4.50: you earn $756 renting, SHORT pays $84, minus $206, so $634 again.

Either way the week nets $634, which is about $3.77 × 168.

Outside the range

The hedge only covers prices between the $1 floor and the $5 cap. If the average lands outside the range, the part beyond it is not hedged. The trade screen and payoff explorer show this.

In the app

  1. On Trade, choose Hedge revenue.
  2. Select the weeks and the number of GPUs (up to two decimals).
  3. Check the quote: collateral in, proceeds received now and the locked rate per GPU-hour. Quotes simulate the real transaction against the live books.
  4. Approve rrUSD once, then confirm. A 0.5% slippage limit applies to every week.
