HUB Token Utility

PreviousEconomic ModelNextEconomic Actors & Reward Mechanics

Last updated 6 days ago

The HUB token is the backbone of economic coordination in the Hubic ecosystem. It powers every layer of the protocol — from compute and validation, to governance and revenue flows.

🔧 Primary Utility Domains:

Function
Mechanism

Inference Payments

Users pay in HUB or stablecoins (e.g. USDC); HUB gives discounts & priority

Validator/Executor Staking

Required stake to participate in task routing and proof generation

Performance-Based Rewards

Earn HUB based on uptime, accuracy, proof efficiency

Governance Rights

Vote on model inclusion, fee changes, RWA token settings, protocol upgrades

Premium Tiers / Subscriptions

Lock HUB for access to enterprise-grade throughput or APIs

🧠 RWA Context:

  • Tokenized Models & Agents: Can issue ERC-20s representing future yield. HUB is used to claim these yields or stake against their performance.

  • Collateral Layer: DAOs or institutional users may stake HUB to access or insure high-value RWA agents.

  • Programmable Revenue Distribution: Smart contracts auto-route HUB to token holders tied to usage proofs.

HUB is the native unit of value, trust, and access in a world where compute = cashflow.

🔹 Reward Mechanics

Hubic rewards three key roles: Model Owners, Executors, and Validators. Rewards are distributed per inference job, based on a zk-verified outcome.

💸 Standard Distribution (Per Inference Fee):

Recipient
Role
Share

Model Owner

Supplies the zk-model

60%

Executor

Runs inference + proof

20%

Verifier Node

Validates proof

20%

🧮 Example:

A user submits a job and pays 100 HUB.

→ 60 HUB → to model owner (or RWA token smart contract) → 20 HUB → to executor who performed zk-inference → 20 HUB → to verifier who validated the result on-chain

📈 Incentive Enhancements:

  • Reputation Bonuses: High-performing nodes earn HUB multipliers based on zk-verified score history.

  • Slash Conditions: Faulty proof submission = slashing of staked HUB.

  • Dynamic Fee Modifiers: Based on demand, reputation, and model performance metrics.

🌍 RWA Integration:

  • Tokenized Model Ownership: Revenue from the 60% model owner fee can be split among RWA token holders automatically.

  • Governable Fee Allocation: DAOs can propose and vote on changing model fees, reward splits, or adding dynamic fee logic.

  • Proof-Based ROI Tracking: RWA dashboards can track yield in real-time using verified inference logs.
