Introducing the First-Ever NVIDIA H100 Perpetual Futures Market

Introducing the First-Ever NVIDIA H100 Perpetual Futures Market

Helix, the premier decentralized exchange built on Injective, is proud to launch the world’s first-ever perpetual market based on the hourly rental price of NVIDIA’s cutting-edge H100 GPU.  

The H100 Perpetual is a fully on-chain derivatives market that lets you trade GPU usage like a financial asset. Squaretower aggregates pricing information across leading compute providers. A designated price feed, updated hourly, will provide real-time visibility into the current on-demand market rate for an NVIDIA H100 GPU hour. 

Helix will turn that feed into perpetual contracts, enabling long or short exposure to GPU-hour pricing, with 5x leverage.

What is NVIDIA’s H100 GPU?

The NVIDIA H100 GPU is one of NVIDIA’s most advanced AI accelerators to date. Purpose-built for high-performance computing, deep learning, and generative AI workloads, the H100 delivers massive parallel processing power, making it the go-to chip for training large language models and running complex inference tasks.

With its cutting-edge architecture and support for features like the Transformer Engine and NVLink, the H100 has become the backbone of modern AI infrastructure used by enterprises, cloud providers, and research labs worldwide.

Access to NVIDIA H100 GPUs is typically rented by the hour through hyperscalers like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, or neoclouds and aggregators like RunPod or Lambda Labs. These platforms host H100s in large-scale data centers and charge based on usage time, often by the hour or second. Pricing can fluctuate significantly depending on demand and capacity, which is exactly what Helix’s NVIDIA H100 perp market is designed to track and make tradable.
