# Token Utilities

**I. Monetization Streams (B2B Focus):**

**Custom AI Model Training via Federated Learning:** Enterprises can leverage the DDAI network's distributed compute to train bespoke AI models while maintaining data privacy through federated learning paradigms. This offers a decentralized and privacy-centric alternative to traditional centralized model training.

**Access to Customer Support Services:** Businesses can integrate with DDAI's AI infrastructure to access scalable and intelligent customer support solutions. This implies API access to the AI Assistant's capabilities.

\
**II. Decentralized Resource Contribution & Rewards:**

**Complex Query Processing:** Network nodes are incentivized to contribute compute power for handling computationally intensive tasks, exemplified by processing intricate technical support inquiries.

**Compute/Storage Provisioning for AI/ML:** Nodes contributing their hardware resources (CPU, GPU, storage) are rewarded for powering AI training workloads across the distributed network. This highlights the DePIN aspect.

**Blockchain Transaction Validation:** Certain nodes participate in securing the underlying blockchain infrastructure by validating transactions, earning rewards for their contribution to network integrity.

\
**III. Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) Governance (Strategic Partnerships):**

**Dynamic Node Reward Adjustment:** Key stakeholders (likely larger partners within the DAO) have the authority to adjust the economic incentives for node operators, influencing resource allocation and network participation.

**Strategic Partnership Vetting:** The DAO governs the onboarding of significant external entities, such as cloud providers, ensuring alignment with the network's strategic direction and infrastructure needs.

**Protocol Evolution Management:** Major protocol upgrades and fundamental changes to the DDAI network are subject to governance decisions by the DAO participants, ensuring community-driven development.

\
**IV. Tokenomics & Security Framework:**

**Staked Network Entry & Quality Assurance (Nodes):** Node operators are required to lock up DDAI tokens as collateral to gain access to the network. This stake acts as a security deposit, with malicious actions resulting in token slashing, ensuring service reliability and penalizing bad actors.

**Staked Feature Unlocks (Users/Enterprises):** End-users and businesses can stake DDAI tokens to gain preferential access to platform features, including reduced service fees and early access to cutting-edge functionalities, creating a utility-driven demand for the token.

\
**V. Premium Enterprise AI Capabilities:**

**Proactive, AI-Driven Customer Support:** Businesses gain access to advanced support features where the AI proactively identifies potential customer issues and triggers alerts, enabling preemptive engagement and improved customer satisfaction.

**Privacy-Preserving Custom AI Models:** Enterprises can leverage the network's federated learning capabilities (mentioned in point 1) as a premium feature, allowing them to train highly tailored AI models on decentralized data silos without compromising data privacy.
