[P1] GPU-provider stake lockup spec (amount, period, slashing rules)

[abhicris]

"Providers stake CR8 to list" appears as a demand source in tokenomics. Amount, lockup period, and slashing rules don't exist.

Scope

cr8-gpu-provider-stake.md:

• Base listing stake — USD-denominated, converted to CR8 at quote time. Tiered by provider capacity (e.g. $5K for < 8 GPUs, $25K for 8-64, $100K for 64+).
• Lockup period — minimum (e.g. 30 days) before unstake request; cooldown after unstake request (e.g. 14 days).
• Slashing conditions — SLA breach (uptime < 99%), job failure rate (> 5% over 7-day window), proof-of-work mismatch (attestation fails).
• Slashing amounts — % of stake per breach, scaling by severity.
• Governance override — DAO can slash by vote for catastrophic breaches (fraud, customer data leak).

Why

• gtm-review-2026-04-13.md §Missing-or-soft item 6.
• Unblocks Layer 1 compute marketplace go-live.

Depends on

• DePIN benchmark ([P0] DePIN cost benchmark — Akash vs io.net vs Nosana on 3 workloads #2) — informs whether we actually need GPU providers or route through Akash/io.net instead.
