Your room. Your rules.
Not every chip NVIDIA makes is good enough to sell. The ones that fail binning don't get thrown away — they get repurposed, resold, and quietly keep working. $CHIP is a bet on that second market: the compute nobody put on a slide.
NVIDIA sorts every chip it makes by how it performs — a process called binning. The top bin becomes an H100 or a 4090. The ones that miss the cut get fused down, relabeled, or sold into the secondary market. Same silicon, lower shelf. That shelf is real, it's large, and almost nobody prices it.
A chip that just misses the H100 bin still runs. Cut-down dies, harvested 4090s, ex-datacenter A100s coming off three-year leases — they flow into a used-hardware market that keeps growing every time a lab upgrades. When new compute is scarce, that market gets bid up. When new compute is cheap, buyers reach for the older cards to save money. Either way, demand finds the basement.
The market you can buy on-chain is only the front row: NVDA, priced by everyone, tracking the newest die. But most of the compute actually doing work in the world is a generation or two behind — and it has no ticker at all.
$CHIP is a claim on the part nobody lists. Not the flagship die, not the allocation everyone fights over — the leftover compute that quietly keeps the lights on. We put a price on the shelf below the keynote.
You don't own the new die.
You own everything it replaces.
The keynote sells the top bin.
The basement runs the rest.
$CHIP prices the rest.
