Token Utility
$TPO powers the core economic flows within Tensor One. It is used to access tools, reward contributors, rent compute, and enable developers to monetize AI agents.Access to AI Tools
Users deposit $TPO into the Tensor Playground to access a suite of AI tools, including:- Uncensored chat interfaces
- Text-to-image and text-to-video generation
- Voice cloning
- Website and app generation tools
Agent Monetization
Developers can publish AI agents to the Tensor Marketplace. These agents can be accessed by other users, with pricing set in $TPO. Developers may choose:- Pay-per-use pricing
- Subscription models
- Freemium or trial-based access
Compute Contribution & Rewards
Users can earn $TPO by contributing compute to the network. This is done by:- Running a node via the Tensor Chrome Extension
- Accepting and completing distributed tasks issued by the platform
Institutional Task Submissions & Reward Flow
Enterprise clients and other high-throughput users can submit compute-intensive jobs to Tensor’s network.- These jobs are paid for in $TPO
- 80% of the payment is distributed to compute providers
- 10% is retained by Tensor One for operational costs
- 10% is allocated to the staking rewards pool, enabling long-term revenue sharing with token holders
Summary of Token Roles
Utility Area | Description |
---|---|
Tool Access | Required for generating content and deploying agents in the Playground |
Developer Revenue | Used by creators to monetize and gate AI agents |
Compute Compensation | Distributed to contributors who complete platform tasks |
Institutional Flow | Applied as a fee on enterprise task submissions, funding rewards |
Staking (Planned) | Tied to platform-level revenue and demand, not inflation |
Token Lifecycle
- Users deposit $TPO to access tools and GPU compute
- Developers monetize agents and receive $TPO from users
- Enterprises pay $TPO for compute jobs
- Compute Providers earn $TPO for task completion
- Platform retains 10% for operations and future staking pool
Future Use Cases
The following uses for $TPO are under consideration or in development:- Agent staking: Increase agent exposure and trust via token staking
- Reputation weight: Link $TPO activity to contributor reputation scores
- Agent-to-agent payments: Long-term goal to enable agents to autonomously manage $TPO
