$CORTEXDAO
The token that steers the whole network.
$CORTEXDAO is the utility and governance token of Cortex Dao. It gives the people who contribute data and compute a real say in what happens next.

Wear your signals. Decide who reads them.
NeuroBand records focus, sleep and heart rhythms and brings them into CortexOS. You choose what is shared, which study requests to accept, and how long any access lasts.
Hardware prototype in design
Infrastructure
Rent GPUs through CortexGPU.
CortexGPU offers two ways in: planned capacity for teams that need scale and support, and self-serve GPU desktops through CortexOS for quick experiments and research.
Enterprise rental
Reserve high-end GPU capacity for large AI and research workloads, with planning and support from the CortexGPU team.
CortexOS
A full Linux desktop in the browser with direct GPU access. Pay in crypto and start computing right away.
Dashboard
A public page for chain activity, compute usage and treasury records, with notes on how each number is measured.
CortexOS
Your GPU. Your desktop. Right in the browser.
A complete Linux desktop with the GPU passed straight through — no VM tax, no thin client. Pay in crypto and be computing within minutes, starting on V100 cards.
A real Linux desktop
Not a shell and not a notebook. An IDE, file manager, terminals and browser tools running natively in one session.
Direct GPU access
Containers talk to CUDA, ROCm and oneAPI drivers directly. No hypervisor layer, no virtual GPU slicing, just measurable speed.
Science tools ready
JupyterLab, RStudio, bioinformatics packages, AI helpers and plotting tools are installed before you log in.
- 01
Connect wallet
Link a wallet on Robinhood Chain so your $CORTEXDAO balance can unlock tier discounts.
- 02
Pay in crypto
Check out with ETH. Credits land as soon as the payment confirms.
- 03
Open your desktop
The Linux desktop opens in a browser tab with the GPU attached and tools loaded.
- 04
Run the work
Train, fine-tune, simulate and plot. Shut down when finished and pay only for time used.
From payment to workload.
Hourly pricing with ETH checkout. Holding $CORTEXDAO unlocks published discount tiers on V100 time. Self-serve access needs no enterprise contract.
Ecosystem projects
Cortex Dao projects.
Five projects that turn personal signals into open research: voice biomarkers, wearable brain data, mood studies, plant chemistry insight and mood-matched music, with the compute to run it all.
Resona
Music · BiometricsMusic matched to how you feel right now, with fans backing artists directly and listening data they can verify.
“Listeners and artists both deserve honest numbers.”
CortexVoice
Research · VoiceResearch-stage speech analysis that treats the voice as a measurable signal, with participants holding the keys to their recordings.
“A microphone is the easiest sensor anyone owns.”
Mindwave
Research · MoodA voice-and-task study that tracks mood, attention and creativity over time, comparing what people report with what can be measured.
“Self-reports get sharper when something measurable sits beside them.”
Stride
Health · FitnessTraining insight from wearable signals, where you decide who sees your performance data.
Coming soon
Terpa
Insight · ChemistryAn education app that links plant chemistry with what users actually report, backed by shared data and reviewed sources.
“Labels describe the product. Reports describe the experience.”

How it works
Your data. Checked research. Open results.
NeuroBand keeps your signals and you approve every request. CortexVoice and Mindwave run the voice studies. CortexGPU supplies the compute, the dashboard shows the books, and $CORTEXDAO holders vote on what comes next.
Research partners
Partnering to
move research forward.
Cortex Dao is looking for researchers, clinics and compute providers who want to run real studies on consented data.
