An OpenBroker organization. One login, one ledger, one set of API keys.

Meaning
GNK

ngonka

Devshard
The inference product on Gonka: an escrow lock plus a gateway that spends it on model hosts.
Escrow
An on-chain lock of GNK that pays for inference attempts. OpenBroker opens these with the allowlisted operator wallet and assigns them to your account.
