Brief
$TPO is the native utility token of the Tensor One ecosystem. It enables access, contribution, and coordination across a network of users, developers, and AI agents. The token is used to activate platform features, compensate compute providers, and facilitate interaction with AI tools and agent infrastructure.Purpose of $TPO
$TPO is designed to serve as the central economic unit of the Tensor platform. It supports:- Access to Tensor Playground features and tools
- Token-based monetization for agent developers
- Compensation for compute providers who process distributed tasks
- Participation in future staking mechanisms tied to real platform usage
Distribution Philosophy
The $TPO model emphasizes contribution-based distribution and long-term sustainability. Rather than relying on inflationary emissions, tokens are introduced through user actions that provide measurable value to the platform. A fixed portion of the supply is allocated to bootstrap early compute contributors, while long-term incentives will be funded through usage-based revenue.Key Functions
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Access & Payments | Required for use of AI tools, GPU rentals, and agent services |
| Contributor Rewards | Distributed to node operators for completing compute tasks |
| Agent Monetization | Used by developers to price and earn from deployed agents |
| Staking (Future) | Supported through platform-level revenue sharing mechanisms |
Design Principles
- Utility-first: Tokens are actively used within the product experience
- Non-inflationary: No passive emissions as all token flow is tied to activity
- Sustainable: Rewards are funded through usage fees and task submissions
- Modular: The token supports multiple roles across different user types
$TPO is the foundational unit of coordination within the Tensor One network, enabling meaningful interactions between users, AI agents, and compute infrastructure in a usage-aligned, incentive-driven environment.
