[HodlAI Launches Innovative AI Service Model: Daily Unlocking of AI API Call Quotas Based on Token Holdings]
HodlAI has introduced a new AI service usage model where users do not need to prepay or pay per use. Instead, they can unlock daily AI API call quotas based on the amount of tokens they hold. The tokens remain in users' personal wallets, and the quotas refresh daily, covering over 200 models, including GPT-5, Claude 4.5, and Gemini 3.
The funding source for this model comes from on-chain transaction taxes. HodlAI imposes a 3% tax on each transaction, with all funds injected into an API funding pool, which is then allocated as usage quotas based on token holdings. The more active the transactions, the more robust the funding pool becomes, leading to a simultaneous increase in distributable quotas.
To prevent short-term arbitrage, HodlAI has implemented a quota release mechanism based on holding duration. The longer the tokens are held, the higher the available quota. Addresses with a history of selling will have their quota capped. Holding duration is verified through on-chain data, ensuring it cannot be tampered with.
In terms of transparency, HodlAI publishes all API recharge records and provides third-party billing verification methods. The team has committed to taking zero commissions. Within two days of the project’s launch, cumulative tax revenue exceeded $65,000, while total API costs amounted to less than $1,000.
