HodlAI launches an innovative AI service model, unlocking AI API call limits daily based on token holdings.
# HodlAI Unveils Token-Based AI Access ModelOn January 31, PANews covered HodlAI's launch of an innovative AI service framework that fundamentally reimagines how users access artificial intelligence tools. Rather than requiring upfront payments or charging per transaction, the platform grants daily API access based on the quantity of tokens held in users' personal wallets. This allocation refreshes every 24 hours and spans more than 200 cutting-edge models, including GPT-5, Claude 4.5, and Gemini 3.The funding mechanism operates through a 3% on-chain transaction tax, which flows entirely into a dedicated API liquidity pool. Consequently, usage quotas scale proportionally with token holdings—greater trading volume expands the pool and increases individual access limits. To prevent opportunistic arbitrage, HodlAI employs a time-weighted release system where extended holding periods unlock progressively higher quotas. Meanwhile, wallets with recent selling activity encounter restrictions, all verified through immutable on-chain records.The team believes transparency is paramount, therefore they publish comprehensive API recharge logs and provide third-party billing verification without any commission fees. Remarkably, within just 48 hours of going live, the project accumulated over $65,000 in transaction taxes while maintaining API expenditures below $1,000.
PANews reported on January 31 that HodlAI has proposed a new AI service usage model where users do not need to prepay or pay per use. Instead, they unlock daily AI API call limits based on their token holdings. The tokens are held in personal wallets, and the limits are refreshed daily, covering over 200 models including GPT-5, Claude 4.5, and Gemini 3.
The funding for this model comes from on-chain transaction taxes. HodlAI levies a 3% tax on each transaction and injects all funds into the API liquidity pool, then allocates usage quotas according to holdings. The more active the trading, the more abundant the liquidity pool, and the available allocation quota grows accordingly.
To prevent short-term arbitrage, HodlAI introduces a quota release mechanism based on holding time. The longer the holding time, the higher the available quota. Addresses with a history of selling will have their quota limits restricted. Holding time is verified through on-chain data and cannot be tampered with.
In terms of transparency, HodlAI publishes all API recharge records and provides third-party billing verification methods, with the team promising zero commission. Within two days of the project's launch, it generated over $65,000 in taxes, while total API fees amounted to less than $1,000.
