Back to collectionInjective Launches a Five-GPU Rental-Price Index and Perpetual Market
SICI tracks a fixed-weight basket of hourly GPU rental prices and is live on mainnet with a leveraged perpetual contract.
Injective launched the Super Intelligence Compute Index, or SICI, on October 26. The benchmark tracks hourly rental prices for five Nvidia GPUs at fixed weights: H100 at 40%, B200 at 25%, H200 at 15%, A100 at 10% and RTX 4090 at 10%. LO:TECH supplies the underlying index methodology, which rebases the components and publishes a trailing seven-day average.
A USDC-margined SICI perpetual market is live on Injective mainnet with leverage up to 10 times. That creates tradable exposure to a composite of compute-rental prices, not ownership of GPUs or a direct hedge guaranteed to match any individual cloud bill. The fixed basket also carries methodology and basis risk: a user’s hardware mix, provider prices and contract terms can differ materially from the index.
