CapsuleHub GPU Marketplace – 0G Forge Grant Proposal

Requested Funding: $550,000 USD

Executive Summary

CapsuleHub is a live platform currently operating a Node-as-a-Service for Datagram network. We propose to expand into a decentralized GPU marketplace with native 0G node deployment, enabling anyone to contribute compute resources and users to deploy 0G infrastructure with one click.

Problem

Running 0G nodes requires technical expertise and dedicated hardware. Meanwhile, thousands of GPUs sit idle worldwide. There’s no easy bridge between supply and demand.

Solution

A GPU marketplace where:

  • Providers install a lightweight agent and earn crypto for their compute

  • Users deploy 0G nodes without managing servers

  • 0G Network gains decentralized, globally distributed infrastructure Provider Integration

Providers join the network by running a lightweight CapsuleHub Agent container on their machines. The agent:

  1. Connects outbound via WebSocket to CapsuleHub API (no inbound ports required, works behind NAT/firewall)

  2. Registers hardware specs (GPU model, VRAM, CPU cores, RAM, storage)

  3. Maintains heartbeat to report availability and resource utilization

  4. Executes deployments by pulling templates and spawning containers via local Docker socket

This architecture eliminates the need for SSH access or VPN tunnels – the provider retains full control while CapsuleHub orchestrates workloads.

Deployment Flow

  1. User selects a template (e.g., “0G Validator Node”) and an available provider

  2. Platform verifies DGRAM balance and reserves payment

  3. API sends deployment command through existing WebSocket connection to agent

  4. Agent pulls the template image and starts the container with appropriate GPU passthrough

  5. Agent reports container status; user receives connection details (if applicable)

  6. Billing runs hourly/daily; DGRAM is transferred to provider wallet

Security Model

  • Zero inbound access – Agents initiate all connections

  • Signed commands – All API instructions are cryptographically signed

  • Container isolation – Each workload runs in its own container with resource limits

  • Provider sovereignty – Providers can reject templates or disconnect at any time

  • Arhitecture

Core Integration: 0G Node Template

We already have a working NaaS system for Datagram nodes. Adding 0G as a template is straightforward:

What we’ll build:

  • Docker template for 0G Node

  • Configuration wizard

  • One-click deployment to our existing provider infrastructure (matching the hardware)

  • Health monitoring

  • Pay-per-hour model in 0g or USDT/USDC (same as Datagram nodes)
