VIP GPU Limit Diagrams

Overview

The VIP GPU Limit Diagrams visually and logically represent how staking commitment directly influences hardware authorization and reward eligibility within the HashCloud network. These diagrams serve as a transparent guide to the hierarchical relationship between staking tiers, GPU count, VRAM capacity, and mining reward eligibility.

In essence, the system defines a deterministic link:

VIP Level⇒GPU Count⇒VRAM Tier⇒Eligible Rewards

This ensures that the network remains fair, predictable, and resistant to hardware centralization.

Flow representation

The process of hardware validation and reward eligibility follows a structured sequence. This logical flow ensures clarity from initial staking to the final verification of mining capacity.

2

Step: Stake Amount

The miner begins by staking HCLD tokens. The staked quantity determines the potential mining tier and associated privileges.

3

Step: VIP Tier Determined

Once tokens are staked, the backend assigns a corresponding VIP level. Each tier defines strict boundaries on GPU count and maximum VRAM capacity to maintain fairness.

4

Step: Hardware Validation

The system verifies the miner’s GPU setup, confirming that both the number of GPUs and VRAM per unit fall within tier constraints. Hardware exceeding limits is automatically flagged and disqualified from mining eligibility.

5

Step: Reward Eligibility

If the miner’s configuration passes validation, the account becomes eligible for compute task assignments and reward computation within the authorized tier.

Mapping Overview

The diagrams and flow mappings used in this policy can be conceptually represented as follows:

Mapping Parameter	Description
VIP Level → GPU Limit	Defines the maximum number of GPUs permitted for a given VIP level.
GPU Count → VRAM Tier	Associates each GPU with a specific VRAM threshold per tier.
VRAM Tier → Eligible Rewards	Determines the miner’s reward category based on validated hardware performance.

This mapping ensures a consistent and auditable relationship between staking effort and computational authorization.

Key Insight

• Each input (staked tokens) correlates linearly to permissioned compute capacity.

• Violations (such as over-VRAM GPUs) result in reward disqualification but do not penalize the staked tokens.

• The model maintains equilibrium between capital commitment and technical fairness.

Purpose

Purpose and Design Intent

The VIP GPU Limit Diagram framework fulfills several important design objectives:

• Transparency: Makes it clear how staking tiers translate into permissible GPU configurations.

• Fair Competition: Prevents disproportionate rewards for miners using excessive hardware resources.

• Network Efficiency: Standardizes performance across diverse mining setups, minimizing backend computation skew.

• Educational Clarity: Provides visual and logical representation for both newcomers and advanced miners to understand network scaling.

By making the staking-to-hardware relationship explicit, HashCloud reinforces its philosophy of fair scaling through verifiable compute.

These diagrams make it explicit how staking commitment (VIP level) translates into permitted mining capacity and which rewards a miner can unlock.
