# Injective launches onchain futures on Nvidia GPU rental prices

*Launch · 1 Nov 2026*

Layer-1 blockchain Injective launched a perpetual futures market on 26 October 2026 that tracks the rental prices of five Nvidia GPUs. The Super Intelligence Compute Index (SICI) covers the H100, B200, H200, A100 and RTX 4090. Traders can bet on whether the index rises or falls, with up to 10x leverage and USDC as margin.

According to the announcement cited by Cointelegraph, the index gives the H100 a 40% weight and the B200 25%. It is updated hourly from a trailing seven-day average of rental prices. The rental data is compiled by the London market data firm LO:TECH from compute marketplaces. Injective's August 2025 market on H100 rental prices was a single-GPU predecessor.

For GPU renters, the index is a new benchmark for the cost of compute. Injective says developers could use it to hedge against higher compute costs, and GPU providers against falling rental revenue. The index is a trading instrument. It does not rent GPU capacity and is not a GPU provider.
