The problem
GPU contracts are multi-year.
This means big duration risk.
Contracts now run three to five years. Over that horizon you're carrying depreciation, obsolescence, and oversupply. GPU prices nowadays are volatile and a cash-settled derivative works like price insurance: it hedges the downside and protects the residual value of your contract.
Know your worst case.
One premium buys a hard floor on your GPU economics for up to twelve months. Below the floor, you get paid the difference.
Settled on a published index.
Every floor settles against a reference index with disclosed constituents, weights, and outlier rules. You can audit the number you settle on.
Customized to your exposure.
Floor level, coverage, SKU, and months are all yours to set. The quote reprices live as you move each lever.
Every long GPU lease is a price bet. Now you can hedge the bet.
FAQ
What exactly is a price floor?
A cash settled put option on a GPU compute reference index. You pay a premium upfront. Each month, if the index average is below your floor, you receive the difference on your covered volume. If it stays above, your cost was the premium. Payments flow directly between you and the counterparty.
Who is this for?
Teams carrying long GPU commitments: data centers, GPU marketplaces, inference platforms, and AI companies inside multi year leases.
Who can enter these contracts?
You, or the organization you are acting on behalf of, must qualify as an Eligible Contract Participant as defined under the Commodity Exchange Act.
What settles the contract?
A published reference index of GPU rental rates built from provider list prices, with disclosed constituents, weights, and outlier filtering. No hidden methodology.
Does this touch my existing lease or provider?
No. It is a standalone cash settled contract. Nothing changes about how you buy or run compute.
What moves the premium?
Floor level, months covered, SKU, and coverage size. Deeper floors and longer cover cost more. The quoter reprices live as you adjust.
How big does a deal have to be?
The quoter prices floors from a single node upward. Larger structures are papered bilaterally with the team.
Is the quote on this page binding?
No. Quotes are indicative. This is a tool to help you prepare your contract.
