August 2026 Monthly Report

Hi Team, happy to share our August 2026 Monthly Report for Gonka! You can find a detailed breakdown of our results in the report here: https://www.figma.com/deck/hRcRewSTyAGHq4ysWkkN4z

This month we delivered 3 unique pieces across AI and crypto media, reaching a combined UVM of 10.11M.

Secured this month:

• The AI Journal published the Liberman brothers' op-ed, moving the conversation away from chips. The piece presents the brothers as informed voices on AI infrastructure policy rather than founders promoting a network.
• Analytics Insight included Gonka in Top 5 Ways Teams Are Cutting AI Inference Costs in 2026, listed third after Together AI and Groq and ahead of Fireworks AI and DeepInfra - and the only decentralised network in the selection.
• CryptoDaily included Gonka in Top 5 Decentralized AI Compute Networks to Watch in 2026, again in third position, after Bittensor and Akash and ahead of io.net and Render. The piece draws on independent DeAI Dashboard data and credits Gonka with the highest throughput of any standalone network in the field.
• Both listicles were picked up in syndication, through Dailyhunt and BitcoinEthereumNews respectively, extending their reach beyond the original outlets.

In the pipeline:

• Securities.io - Gleb Morgachev's op-ed has cleared review and is with the editorial team. Awaiting the publication date.
• Observer - Anastasia Matveeva's piece is in final review and goes to the editor shortly.
• The World Financial Review - the outlet approached us for an op-ed from Anastasia on Who Owns the Compute Owns the AI Economy. The draft is with her and goes to the outlet once approved.
• BlockHash podcast - we secured an interview slot for Gleb, covering how Gonka is building a decentralised network for AI compute alongside broader industry themes. Awaiting his confirmation and a recording date.
• RTHK - the Liberman brothers recorded an episode with Hong Kong's public broadcaster, on air since 1928, discussing AI, breaking the monopoly of the tech giants and making AI simpler to access. Valuable APAC reach ahead of TOKEN2049 Singapore. Awaiting the broadcast.
• Finbold - we secured a written interview for the brothers on AI. Awaiting the editor's questions.
