| | Editor’s Note: The following is a message from today’s sponsor, Alpaca Network. | | Hi there, | Over the past year the crypto market's attention has been captured by AI-agent tokens. They’re the future and we can agree on that but did you ever think who gets paid for the AI model running them? Every time an agent runs, the fees disappear into a centralized company's pocket. | | | A project called Alpaca Network set out to fix that disconnect. Their answer is Modelz.io, the first decentralized exchange for AI models. It enables anyone to mint, fund, and trade MODEL tokens representing the models themselves. If the agents are the storefronts, Modelz is the factory, now sliced into pieces you can actually own. | The Big Idea | Modelz allows anyone to create a token linked to any of the open-source models from Hugging Face (database of millions of AI models - 1.8 million with thousands being added daily) in a smart contract. Press “Tokenize” and, in under a minute, you’ve created a MODEL token with its own bonding curve. Early backers use $PACA to buy into that curve and the model hits “Singularity” once 2π million (6.28M aka. TAU million) PACA is raised, and a Uniswap pool is created automatically. It's a system similar to Virtuals.io, but focussed on AI Models that can then provide inference and power AI Agents, rather than tokenizing the AI Agents themselves. From that moment on, you can then trade them on DEXes, and get paid for every API call the model receives as the revenue is directly shared on-chain to MODEL holders. You co-own AI models. | What Makes It Interesting | Direct exposure to usage, not hype. MODEL tokens accrue fees the moment apps call their endpoint. Guaranteed MODEL allocations for stakers. $PACA stakers get a piece of 3.14 % of every MODEL supply that reach singularity, forever. True open-source alignment. Creators keep code public, backers gain liquid equity, builders get censorship-proof intelligence at transparent rates.
| It's a win-win for everyone! | Key Launch Facts | | How to Position Early | Modelz is going to be huge. Let's see how you can be an early adopter and reap the rewards that entails: | Stake $PACA to build your MODEL airdrop bag and gain voting power over listings and fees. Test the beta—tokenize a dummy model, ape a few test curves, get comfortable before launch day. Watch the clock on 10 July. Get ready to create, buy and/or trade tokenized AI models for the first time in history! Join the community. All news will be on their X and TG.
| Alpaca likes to joke that they’re the decentralized cousin of Meta’s Llama, but the ambition is deadly serious: capture the economics of AI itself and give them to the market. | We’ll be tuning in on launch night. See you on-chain. | | |
