**Gas Fees & Processing**

Paying transaction fees and executing AI smart contracts.<br>

**Compute Rental**

Paying validators to rent GPU/TPU computing power for training your neural networks.

\
**AI Insight Access**

Tokens are required to receive analytical forecasts from the network’s AI oracles.

\
**Staking & Security**

Validators stake $VDS to validate blocks. An AI algorithm (AIPoS) increases rewards for those who perform most efficiently.
