The real bottleneck in decentralized compute isn't GPU availability—it's proof. Anyone can claim they executed workloads. Screenshots, logs, performance charts? Easy to fabricate. There's no way to verify whether the work actually happened on the claimed hardware.

This verification gap is what creates friction in the ecosystem. Until computation results become cryptographically verifiable and independently auditable, decentralized networks will struggle to scale beyond trust-based models.

Oh my, this is the real core issue. I thought it was just a hardware shortage before.

ngl that's why there are so many scammers in DeFi... without cryptographic verification, it's no different from Web2.

nah this is just the same liquidity problem we always had, different wrapper. you can't verify shit = you can't price it = cascade of bad actors = market structure collapses. seen it a thousand times lol
