How to buy Node AI (GPU)

How to buy Node AI (GPU) safely

Node AI (GPU) is a decentralized platform that provides access to GPU and AI resources. Launched in 2023 on the Ethereum platform, the project allows users to rent AI servers, lend idle GPU hardware for passive income, and stake tokens to receive a portion of the platform earnings. It also provides AI API endpoints for image and video processing.

To buy GPU safely, you must verify the network and contract address. The token operates on both Ethereum and Base. Sending tokens to the wrong network or a lookalike address can result in a total loss of funds.

Where can you buy GPU?

GPU is available through several verified central exchange (CEX) and decentralized exchange (DEX) routes.

Centralized exchanges:

• MEXC (GPU/USDT)
• Poloniex (GPU/USDT)

Decentralized exchanges and other routes:

• uniswap (GPU/WETH)
• Uniswap v2 (GPU/WETH)
• Uniswap v4 (Robinhood) (AMD/GPU)
• Uniswap V3 (Robinhood) (WETH/GPU)
• Uniswap v4 (Base) (ETH/GPU)
• Aerodrome Finance (GPU/WETH)
• PancakeSwap v2 (BSC) (NVDAB/GPU)

Step-by-step buying checklist

Follow these steps to avoid common mistakes when acquiring GPU.

1. Verify the contract address. Use the official Node AI website or Etherscan to confirm the address for your chosen network.
2. Select your network. GPU is available on Ethereum (0x1258d60b224c0c5cd888d37bbf31aa5fcfb7e870) and Base (0x16A3832E690278D4979fd072FA4913BD1E8cbfD8).
3. Check exchange requirements. If using MEXC, you must complete KYC.
4. Confirm country availability. Some exchanges, including MEXC, ban users from the US, Canada, UK, and other regions.
5. Set up a compatible wallet. Ensure your wallet supports the Ethereum or Base network depending on where you buy the token.

Fees, liquidity, and withdrawal checks

Trading fees vary by route. MEXC lists a 0 trading fee for the GPU/USDT pair.

Liquidity and volume data are available for all listed routes, but these figures change frequently and are not listed here. You should check the live order book on the exchange before making a large trade to avoid price slippage.

Deposit and withdrawal support for GPU is not verified for the listed routes. You must check the exchange deposit and withdrawal pages to confirm which networks are currently supported before transferring funds.

Before buying: route and token risks

There are several risks to consider before trading GPU.

Contract and network risk: Using a lookalike contract address or the wrong network is a common mistake. Always double check the address on Etherscan or the official Node AI documentation.

Exchange risk: Account features and KYC requirements differ by country. Some users may find certain routes unavailable based on their location.

Verification risk: Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified unless the exchange explicitly states it on their current interface. Do not assume that a listing automatically means withdrawals are enabled.

Sources and methodology

The routes in this guide come only from verified market-pair rows in our database. We use web research and CoinMarketCap news for background and risk context. Information from CoinMarketCap page scrapes is treated as low-confidence context and is not used as proof of liquidity or contract safety. Live market values are omitted because they change too frequently to remain accurate in a static guide.
