# Operation Overview

## **One-Stop Hub for AI Model Rental in DeFi**

Artificial Intelligence (AI), one of the most transformative technologies of this century, is reshaping industries and redefining how humans work and interact. At the core of AI’s progress lies **GPUs and computing power**—the essential infrastructure that enables large language models (LLMs) and other advanced AI systems to operate at scale.

Traditionally, the market has focused on **GPU rentals**, where enterprises rent raw compute resources. However, the next evolution is emerging: the rental of **ready-to-use AI models** built on top of GPU infrastructure. This approach allows users and enterprises to access optimized, pre-trained models that deliver sophisticated outcomes—without the need to manage underlying hardware or training pipelines directly.

At Avalon Labs, we are committed to bridging advanced AI infrastructure and blockchain technology, creating innovative ways to integrate real-world AI and compute into on-chain markets.

## **Structured Marketplace Innovation**

The structured marketplace is an **open platform** for all types of AI models and GPU hardware. Any AI model developers and GPU owners can access the Avalon Labs AI Marketplace after receiving approval.

**As a core competitive advantage,** Avalon Labs collaborates with industry leaders to integrate the reinforcement learning (RL) model and other advanced machine learning techniques as the first launching product. Rather than presenting the RL model itself as a product, we deploy RL- based optimization to enhance the performance of models (including LLM fine-tuning) and maximize GPU utilization efficiency.

This transforms the GPU hardware rental into **AI-Model-as-a-Service (AI-MaaS)**:

* Enterprises and developers gain access to fine-tuned models and compute capabilities.
* RL optimization improves accuracy, efficiency, and outcomes across LLM and other AI workloads.

Avalon Labs will leverage blockchain infrastructure to tokenize this new approach, delivering it via the **Avalon Labs AI Marketplace**. To address the inherent volatility of GPU and AI-model rental markets, we introduce the **Structured Marketplace**, a system designed to reallocate risk across different levels of participants.

## **Allocation Framework**

The marketplace operates with two allocation categories:

* **Senior Allocation** – Prioritized access to AI-model rental time slots, with more predictable access and lower exposure to volatility. Users benefit from stability in compute/model access. Utility token: **sAI**.
* **Junior Allocation** – Flexible access, activated after senior allocation demand is met. This allocation carries higher variability but offers greater upside potential. Utility token: **jAI**.

## **Operational Principles**

The Avalon Labs AI Structured Marketplace follows the principles of GPU rental markets while integrating blockchain-native features for transparency, compliance, and safety. Operations follow three steps:

1. **AI-Model Rental Time Allocation & Market-Based Pricing**
   * Allocation priority defined by senior vs junior access tiers
   * Dynamic market-based rental fee rates in USDC
2. **Risk Management**
   * Allocation tiers absorb volatility differently (senior prioritization vs junior flexibility)
   * Transparent rules embedded in smart contracts
3. **Liquidity & Redemption**
   * Users can enter/exit allocations with predictable redemption logic
   * Market-driven mechanisms ensure healthy liquidity
