Token Use Cases

Model and Data Monetization

$HZI tokens play a central role in Horizon’s Marketplace, allowing users to pay for access to AI models and datasets. Model creators can choose to monetize their work through subscription or one-time fees, all settled in $HZI tokens. This system fosters a self-sustaining internal economy within Horizon, where value circulates among users, driving continued engagement and platform growth.

Platform Services and Fee Payments

Horizon offers premium services that users can access with $HZI tokens. These services include GPU resources for model training, data processing, and automated model optimization, providing users with a range of valuable features to enhance their AI models. Using $HZI for these services helps users manage their resources more effectively while creating a unified payment structure within the Horizon platform.

Incentives and Rewards

Horizon encourages platform activity by rewarding users with $HZI tokens for actions that drive community growth, such as data sharing, successful model deployment, and AI model optimization. The incentive pool will be distributed regularly to encourage active engagement, helping Horizon maintain a dynamic and engaged community.

Staking and Governance

Users can stake their $HZI tokens to participate in platform governance, gaining voting rights and earning staking rewards. $HZI token holders can vote on critical platform updates, feature improvements, and governance proposals, allowing them to shape Horizon’s direction actively. Staking rewards provide additional incentives for long-term commitment to Horizon, helping to secure the network and align users with the platform’s growth goals.

Decentralized Computing Payment and Cross-Chain Support

As Horizon expands its cross-chain capabilities, $HZI will support cross-chain transactions, enabling users to pay for computing resources on different blockchains. Additionally, $HZI tokens can be used to access decentralized GPU resources on Akash’s network, further extending Horizon’s decentralized computing options and enhancing users’ flexibility in resource utilization.
