Modelz Launch Recap
Aug 2, 2025
40 Models Tokenized, Millions Raised, and a Working Double Flywheel of Value
On July 10th 2025, we launched Modelz.io with a bold idea: let anyone turn an open-source AI model into a tokenized asset — directly onchain. A clean UI, a bonding curve, and a shot at co-owning the intelligence that powers tomorrow’s apps.
It worked.
Since launch:
40 models have been tokenized
3 models reached Singularity (our threshold for live trading)
Over $1 million in total market cap has flowed into the ecosystem
20,000 users have explored, speculated, and backed onchain intelligence
This isn’t just crypto hype. It’s the foundation of a new economic layer, powered by AI, built by the community.
Promises Were Kept, The Tech Delivered
One of the biggest wins? Everything works as intended. No downtime. Fully audited. 2 million in value created in the first 2 days, with early participants seeing a 20x in return.
Users created MODEL tokens in less than 1 minute. Bonding curves deployed seamlessly. When models raised 6.28M $PACA, Uniswap pools launched onchain, no delays, no rollbacks, no bugs.
Seeing it live, at scale, and fully onchain was surreal. Especially knowing this is just the first phase.
It’s Not Just Model Tokens - It’s a Full Value Loop
This is just the beginning. These tokenized models are now part of a bigger loop — one we’ve been designing for months in three layers.
Layer 1 - The $PACA token acts as the economic base. If you stake it, you automatically get a slice (3.14% to be exact) of every model that crosses the Singularity threshold.
First airdrops coming very soon, with all the future ones automated when hitting singularity.
Layer 2 - Then there’s the MODEL layer — each tokenized model can become a revenue-generating asset. Once integrated into apps (chatbots, games, whatever comes next), API fees will flow back to holders.
Layer 3 - And coming soon is the AGENT or Inference Layer — where all this gets plugged into real-world use. Think SDKs, APIs, and agent integrations that use these inferred models under the hood — with every call streaming yield to MODEL holders.
That’s the loop: stake, launch, build, earn, repeat.
The Infra Revolution
The crypto world has spent the last year obsessed with AI agents. But agents are only as good as the models they call. Those models, the real source of intelligence, have mostly been trapped behind closed APIs.
Modelz is our attempt to change that, because in the end its the model that matters. And it should be owned, funded, and governed by the people who actually use it.
If you’ve been part of this first wave, minting models, staking PACA, helping test the contracts, thank you.
We’re just getting started. Thanks for joining on this journey to co-owning the AI infrastructure that will drastically change the course of humanity.
