HUB Token Utility
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:
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):
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.
