About HBM
What is HBM?
HBM is building the memory control plane for AI: the layer that measures, verifies and, over time, optimizes the memory AI runs on. Compute is useless if you can't feed it. It starts with Proof of Memory, which anyone can run in a browser.
What is Proof of Memory?
HBM's open measurement: real WebGPU kernels measure how fast a machine moves data through GPU memory. Every run is validated, scored as a MEM Score and ranked only against identical hardware, and each day's verified runs go into a public proof.
What is HBM Enterprise?
Fleet-level memory intelligence for AI infrastructure: which GPUs are memory-starved, where VRAM sits idle and which machines underperform their class. It's in development, and teams can request early access. HBM Enterprise.
Proof of Memory
What does HBM measure?
How fast your browser can move data through your GPU's memory. Five phases run real WebGPU compute kernels over 512 MiB: read, write, copy, random access and a sustained copy. How the workload works.
How long does a test take?
About 50 seconds, in five phases. Keep the tab visible while it runs. What happens during a run.
Which browsers work?
Chrome and Edge 113 or later on Windows, macOS and ChromeOS; on Linux, turn on WebGPU in chrome://flags. Safari 26 and Firefox 141 on Windows run the test too, but hide the GPU model, so their runs are measured and unranked. Requirements.
Is the test safe for my computer?
It runs ordinary GPU compute inside the browser's sandbox, like a game or a WebGL demo, using about 512 MiB of GPU memory for under a minute. Your fans may speed up, and closing the tab stops it at once.
Why is my result below my GPU's published bandwidth?
Published figures are theoretical peaks. HBM measures effective throughput from a browser, which lands below peak on every device; the efficiency board shows how far.
Results and ranking
What is the MEM Score?
One number for the whole run, on a log scale. The reference machine scores 50, ten times faster scores 100, and each doubling adds about 15 points. How the score is built.
Why is my run unranked?
It was measured but cannot join a class ranking: the browser hid your GPU model, the model has no published memory spec yet, or the run used quick mode. Unranked runs still join The Stack. Validation.
Why was my run rejected?
Its numbers were physically implausible: well above the published peak, inconsistent between phases, or finished faster than the workload allows. Rejected runs are kept for review and do not join The Stack. Validation.
How are runs ranked?
Only against identical hardware. Each device class has its own leaderboard, and percentiles appear once a class has five verified runs. Leaderboards.
What is The Stack?
A public record built from results: every accepted run adds one die, and sixty-four dies make a layer. Open The Stack.
Privacy
Do I need an account?
No. The first run creates a random key in your browser; the server keeps only a hash of it, shown as OP-XXXXXX. Identity and privacy.
What data does HBM store?
Your measurements, the GPU details your browser reports, a coarse browser and system name, and the hash of your key. No names, emails or IP addresses. Privacy Policy.
How do I keep my points on another browser?
Copy the recovery key on the Rewards page and restore it in the other browser. Without the key, a cleared browser starts a new ledger.
Rewards
How do I earn points?
Verified runs, first runs on a new device class, early data for small classes, personal bests and weekly seasons. Rewards.
Are points worth money?
Points have no cash value themselves. Each week, fixed pools are split by points among linked wallets and paid on Robinhood Chain while funded, and a verified run can also pay a few cents of NVIDIA stock instantly, outside the US. Rewards.
Why link a wallet?
Instant NVDA rewards and weekly pools pay only wallets linked to an operator. Linking is a free signature, not a transaction, and you can unlink at any time on the Rewards page.
$HBM token
What is $HBM?
HBM's token on Robinhood Chain, launched on Pons v2. Token docs.
What is the official contract address?
Only the one shown in the token docs. Anyone can launch a token with the same name, so check the address before you trade.
How do I buy $HBM?
Connect a wallet with ETH on Robinhood Chain and trade on Pons v2 while $HBM is on its bonding curve. After graduation, trading moves to its Uniswap v4 pool. Trading.
What happens when the curve sells out?
The launch graduates: its liquidity moves into a Uniswap v4 pool and is locked permanently. How the launch works.
Is $HBM an investment?
No. It can lose all of its value, and HBM makes no promise about its price, returns or listings. Read the disclosures before trading.
