Been watching halo quietly rack up usage for months before any token existed. that part actually matters to me. peer-to-peer ai inference on base. pay per prompt in usdc, no subscriptions, no api keys, no accounts. flip side works too, if you've got spare compute or api access, you can serve models and get paid per result. built by warden protocol, with venice, 0g, and near backing it as founding contributors. apache-2.0, open source, code's public. what actually interests me isn't the token launch on virtuals. it's that usage came first. per the team, real usdc has been settling on-chain in public alpha with almost no marketing behind it. worth watching, not worth treating as a sure thing. new token, genuinely speculative category. check the actual on-chain numbers yourself before assuming any figure in their materials.(CyrilXBT)
