## Staking
- **Staking Requirements:**
- Minimum stake per GPU: 200 $IO. High-end GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA H100) require 10x multiplier (16,000 $IO for 8 H100s).
- 14-day cooldown period for unstaking.
- **Rewards:**
- **Block Rewards:** Distributed hourly—80% to GPU providers, 20% to CPU providers.

title: AI & Geo-Fencing
description: Let's explore the term geo-fencing
sidebar_position: 4
---
## Geo-Fencing and Its Application in AI
### What is Geo-Fencing?
Geo-fencing is a location-based technology that creates virtual boundaries around a specific geographic area. It allows systems to trigger actions or enforce rules when a device or compute resource enters or exits the defined area. In the context of AI, geo-fencing ensures that computational resources and data processing remain within a specified region, providing control over where and how AI models operate.
### Why Geo-Fencing Matters for AI
In today's AI landscape, there is often a lack of transparency regarding where AI models are hosted and where data is processed. This uncertainty can lead to concerns about data privacy, compliance with local regulations, and the integrity of AI interactions. Geo-fencing addresses these issues by ensuring that AI compute resources and data remain within a predefined geographic boundary, offering greater control and accountability.
## Why ThreeFold is Unique with Geo-Fencing
ThreeFold stands out in the industry by offering **complete geo-fencing capabilities**, a feature that no other network or compute provider currently delivers. Here's why ThreeFold is unique:
### 1. Full Control Over Geographic Boundaries
- ThreeFold is the only network in the world that provides **full control over the geographic area** where compute resources operate.
- This ensures that compute and data processing **stay within the specified region**, offering unparalleled compliance and security.
### 2. Deterministic Deployments
- With ThreeFold, you always know **exactly where the compute is located**.
- Our deterministic deployment model guarantees that AI models and data remain within the geo-fenced area, eliminating uncertainty.
### 3. Mycelium Technology for Guaranteed Interactions
- ThreeFold's **Mycelium technology** ensures that you are interacting with the intended AI model and not an unknown or unauthorized one.
- This level of control is critical for maintaining trust and integrity in AI systems.
### 4. Geo-Fencing as a Game-Changer for AI
- While geo-fencing is a big deal for AI, **no one else is doing it**.
- ThreeFold's geo-fencing capabilities allow users to know **exactly where their AI compute is coming from**, addressing a major gap in the industry.
## Conclusion
Geo-fencing is a critical technology for ensuring transparency, compliance, and control in AI systems. By defining clear geographic boundaries, it addresses key concerns around data privacy, regulatory compliance, and the integrity of AI interactions.
ThreeFold takes geo-fencing to the next level by offering **complete and deterministic geo-fencing capabilities**, a feature unmatched by any other network. With full control over compute locations, deterministic deployments, and Mycelium technology, ThreeFold ensures that AI systems operate with transparency, trust, and accountability.
