$HYB Token Utility

The $HYB token is the native utility token of the Hybrid ecosystem, enabling transactions, incentivizing contributors, and unlocking access to the suite of AI and blockchain tools. $HYB is essential for both operational functionality and community-driven growth within the ecosystem.

Core Utilities of $HYB

  1. Transaction and Gas Fees

    • $HYB is required to pay gas fees on Hybrid’s Layer 2 blockchain, facilitating smart contract executions, rollup verifications, and AI Agent interactions.

    • This ensures seamless, decentralized operations across the ecosystem.

  2. Purchasing cHYB (Hybrid Credits)

    • $HYB can be used to purchase cHYB, a prepaid credit system for platform-wide spending.

    • cHYB can also be purchased directly using $ETH, $USDC, or $USDT.

    • Uses of cHYB include:

      • Accessing Atlas for AI-powered insights and prompts.

      • Using developer tools to create and deploy AI Agents.

      • Spending within the marketplace for data, APIs, and advanced tools.

      • Upgrading or enhancing AI Agents in the ecosystem.

  3. Node Operations and Rewards
