BlockBeats News, January 31st. HodlAI has proposed a new AI service usage model, where users don't need to prepay recharge, but instead will be charged based on usage. Users will unlock daily AI API call limits based on their token holdings. The tokens remain in the user's wallet, and the limits refresh daily, covering over 200 models including GPT-5, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3, and more.

The funding source for this model is on-chain transaction tax. HodlAI imposes a 3% tax on every transaction, injecting all funds into the API fund pool, which is then distributed based on the holding ratio for usage limits. The more active the trading, the more robust the fund pool, and the available limits grow simultaneously.

To prevent short-term arbitrage, HodlAI has introduced a holding time-based limit release mechanism. The longer the holding period, the higher the available limit. Addresses with previous sell records will be restricted from reaching the limit. The holding duration is validated through on-chain data and cannot be tampered with.

In terms of transparency, HodlAI discloses all API recharge records and provides third-party billing verification methods, with the team pledging zero commission. Within two days of the project's launch, total tax revenue has exceeded $65,000, while the total API fees are less than $1,000.
