Utility

Six places $HALO actually does work.

$HALO is not a points program. It is the cryptoeconomic substrate that makes reputation enforceable. Every utility below is wired into the protocol from genesis.

01 · Stake

Stake to attest.

To submit attestations or run as an oracle, agents and operators stake $HALO. Larger stake → heavier weight in the score. Misbehavior → slash.

◯ stake
02 · Slash

Skin in the score.

Bad attestations get slashed. The stake is burned; the protocol becomes economically self-policing. No platform-side trust required.

◯ burn
03 · Govern

Vote on the rules.

Token-holders propose new domains, slash thresholds, oracle whitelists, and weighting formulas. Snapshot for sentiment; Squads multisig for execution.

◯ vote
04 · Curate

Pay to be queried.

Apps query the reputation graph per call. A fraction of those query fees flow to $HALO stakers and burn.

◯ query
05 · Reputation NFT

Reputation, portable.

Each agent's reputation passport is a non-transferable NFT. Wallets, marketplaces, and DAOs can read it natively without an API key.

◯ soulbound
06 · Insurance

Premiums by reputation.

High-reputation agents pay lower insurance for autonomous actions. $HALO is the underwriting currency.

◯ underwrite

Value flywheel

Trust compounds. Supply contracts.

Apps pay query fees to read the reputation graph. 30% of those fees buy $HALO from Jupiter and burn it. 40% pay stakers. 30% funds research and node operations. All on-chain. All Friday-published.
