6.2 AST Token Use Cases
Resource Payment AST is used to pay for bandwidth, computing power, and storage resources within the network. Traffic Exchange: AISim allows users to exchange network traffic using AST, enabling network service providers and edge devices to manage bandwidth resources more flexibly.
DID Registration and Management A small amount of AST is required for DID registration, updates, and related operations for users and devices, ensuring the uniqueness and authenticity of identities within the network.
Privacy Protection Payment When using ZK (Zero-Knowledge Proof) for data protection, AST is used to pay for the computational costs of the privacy engine, ensuring that data remains encrypted and secure during transmission.
Voting and Governance Rights AST holders have the right to participate in the governance of the AISim network, including the formulation of ecological rules and voting on project proposals. Governance proposals such as protocol upgrades, fee distribution, and adjustments to incentive mechanisms will be decided by community token holders through voting, achieving decentralized governance.
Resource Provisioning Rewards Resource contributors (such as bandwidth and storage providers) will be rewarded with AST, incentivizing users to continuously provide resources and ensuring the stable operation of the ecosystem.
Task and Behavior Incentives Users who complete specific tasks or are active in specific scenarios through the DePIN client will receive AST rewards, encouraging users to actively participate in network construction.
In the future, with the introduction of zkRollup and Layer2 solutions, AISim will also introduce AST tokens as on-chain Gas and apply them to a wider range of privacy computing and cross-chain applications, supporting IoE interoperability across different chain ecosystems.
