News Brief
# 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.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For
The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
