CDG Bets on Home Devices to Build a Decentralized AI Cloud Network

DUBAI, UAE – November 28, 2025 – The CDG Project, an ambitious initiative to build a global, decentralized data center from user-owned hardware, has announced a significant move into mainstream cryptocurrency markets. Starting December 1st, its ERC-20 utility token, CDG, will be listed on the BitMart exchange, a platform with a global reach. The listing provides the first major centralized trading venue for the token, aiming to fuel the growth of a network designed to compete for workloads in AI, cloud computing, and secure networking.

Developed by Codego Group, a European-licensed Electronic Money Institution, the project proposes a radical shift from the massive, centralized server farms that power the modern internet. Instead of relying on corporate-owned infrastructure, CDG’s network is built from thousands of individual hardware devices, operated from homes and offices, that contribute their computing and bandwidth resources. This listing on BitMart represents a critical test of whether market liquidity and public access can catalyze the project's vision of a user-powered cloud.

A New Contender in the Decentralized Compute Race

The CDG Project enters a dynamic and rapidly expanding market. The decentralized computing sector, valued at over $10 billion in 2025, is projected to quadruple to $45 billion by 2035. This explosive growth is driven by an insatiable demand for computing power, fueled primarily by the AI revolution, the expansion of edge computing, and growing concerns over data privacy and censorship on centralized platforms.

Established players like Render Network (RNDR), which focuses on GPU rendering, and Akash Network (AKT), a marketplace for cloud compute, have already demonstrated the viability of decentralized models. CDG aims to carve out its niche by offering a simple, accessible on-ramp for non-technical users. The network is powered by two proprietary devices, the CDG Home and the more powerful CDG Power Home. These units are designed for low power consumption and quiet operation, allowing participants to contribute to the network simply by plugging them in.

In return for providing resources, device owners earn a fixed daily reward in CDG tokens. The aggregated power of these devices forms a distributed infrastructure layer capable of handling tasks like AI inference, running cloud microservices, hosting gaming workloads, and providing encrypted VPN routing. By tapping into underutilized residential hardware and bandwidth, the project seeks to offer a resilient and potentially more cost-effective alternative to traditional cloud services from giants like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud.

The Economics of Participation

At the heart of the CDG ecosystem is its tokenomic structure, designed to incentivize network growth and utility. The CDG token, with a total supply of 10 billion, functions as the network's lifeblood. Businesses can use it to pay for computational services, while device owners are rewarded from a vast treasury that holds 70% of the total token supply.

The incentive model is straightforward: owners of the standard CDG Home device earn 50 CDG per day, while CDG Power Home operators receive 200 CDG daily. However, participation comes with a significant upfront investment. The CDG Home device costs €2,500 plus an activation fee of 10,000 CDG, while the high-tier CDG Power Home is priced at a steep €10,000 with a 40,000 CDG activation cost. The return on this investment is therefore directly tied to the token's market value, which, as the project's own disclaimer notes, has no guaranteed floor and is subject to market volatility.

Adding another layer to its utility, the token is integrated with the financial infrastructure of its parent developer, Codego Group. This connection reportedly enables future use cases like spending CDG via Mastercard or cashing out through IBAN accounts. Furthermore, token holders are granted governance rights within the project's Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), giving them a say in the network's future development and a potential share in protocol revenues.

A Strategic Leap onto Centralized Exchanges

The decision to list on BitMart is a pivotal step for CDG. As a centralized exchange (CEX), BitMart provides crucial on-ramps for fiat currency and exposure to a large retail and institutional audience, something decentralized exchanges cannot easily offer. With over 1,500 listed cryptocurrencies and a user base of millions, the platform offers the liquidity and visibility necessary to attract new device owners and businesses to the CDG ecosystem.

However, the choice is not without its complexities. BitMart's reputation is mixed. While it is registered as a Money Services Business (MSB) with the U.S. Treasury's FinCEN, it suffered a devastating security breach in December 2021, when hackers stole nearly $200 million in assets. Although the exchange pledged to compensate affected users from its own funds and has since bolstered security protocols, the incident remains a cautionary tale for investors. The platform's security rankings are considered above average but not top-tier, reminding users of the inherent risks associated with storing assets on any centralized platform.

The Hardware Question: Vision vs. Verification

The entire CDG Project hinges on the successful adoption and performance of its hardware. The promise of an easy-to-use, energy-efficient device that quietly generates passive income is compelling. The project emphasizes a plug-and-play experience, removing the technical barriers that often prevent mainstream participation in decentralized networks. This user-friendly approach is arguably its most significant potential differentiator in a market of complex solutions.

Despite these claims, a critical element is currently missing: independent verification. As of late 2025, there are no publicly available third-party reviews, performance benchmarks, or user testimonials for the CDG Home or CDG Power Home devices. All information regarding their efficiency, ease of use, and computational output originates from the project itself. For a hardware-centric network, this lack of external validation presents a significant hurdle for building trust with potential buyers and network users.

As the CDG token becomes available to a wider audience, the project faces the dual challenge of proving its technological capabilities while navigating the volatile crypto markets. Its success will depend not only on the market's appetite for its token but on its ability to deliver a reliable, scalable, and truly decentralized hardware network that can deliver on its ambitious promise to reshape the future of cloud computing.
