This section illustrates the economic pathway of the HUB token during a typical AI inference lifecycle. All payments, validations, and distributions are tightly coupled with zk-proof verification and on-chain enforcement.

🧭 Flow Summary (Per 100 HUB Job):

 └────────────┴────────────┴────────────┘

🔹 Settlement Logic

All HUB token transfers are executed automatically by smart contracts once a zk-proof is validated on-chain. If the proof is invalid or incomplete, no payout occurs, and staked parties may be slashed.

🔄 On-Chain Settlement Process:

  1. Verifier submits proof + validation metadata

  2. zkRegistry checks:

    • Is the model registered?

    • Does the proof match the model hash?

    • Was the inference properly routed?

  3. Settlement contract triggers payouts:

    • Funds are sent atomically from escrow.

    • Usage history is updated for scoring/royalty tracking.

    • Events emitted for dashboard / RWA sync.

⚠️ Failsafe Mechanisms:

Case
Outcome

Invalid proof

No payout, potential slashing

Delayed executor

Penalty applied or job reassigned

Unregistered model

Job rejected, refund issued to user

🌍 RWA Considerations:

  • Royalty Streams: Model owner payout can be redirected to RWA token contracts, distributing yield to token holders.

  • Auditability: Every inference and reward is linked to an event + zk-proof → usable in dashboards, reporting, and compliance.

  • Trustless Execution: Because every payment is proof-gated, RWA structures inherit the same integrity guarantees.

Hubic transforms payment logic from “reputation-based” to “proof-enforced” — ideal for powering tokenized, revenue-yielding AI assets on Ethereum.
