Avalon Labs has selected the BNB Chain for the exclusive initial launch of its integrated platform. The chain will host the first live deployment of its AI-model marketplace and Commercial Rights Tokenization standard.
- Avalon Labs launches its AI-driven RWA marketplace, which will initially launch exclusively on the BNB Chain.
- The platform connects GPU owners with developers and introduces a dual-token system to balance compute demand and risk.
- Avalon’s new Commercial Rights Tokenization framework enables enforceable on-chain rights to access and use AI services, expanding beyond standard asset tokenization.
In an announcement on Oct. 30, Avalon Labs detailed its plan to deploy what it terms the industry’s first onchain AI marketplace on BNB Chain. The platform is designed to function as a decentralized clearinghouse, directly connecting owners of high-performance GPU hardware with developers seeking access to pre-trained reinforcement learning AI models.
Notably, the initiative is coupled with the introduction of its Commercial Rights Tokenization standard, a novel framework that moves beyond simple asset securitization to tokenize enforceable rights to access and use services.
Inside Avalon’s tokenized AI economy
Avalon’s AI-Model-as-a-Service sits at the core of its new marketplace, marking a shift from traditional GPU rental models to a tokenized framework for compute access. Instead of procuring hardware and managing complex training pipelines, enterprises and developers can tap directly into pre-trained, performance-optimized reinforcement learning models.
To manage the inherent volatility of compute demand, Avalon has built a structured marketplace with two distinct tokenized layers. The Senior Allocation token, sAI, is designed as a Digital Receipt Token under UCC law, representing prioritized access to AI model rental slots. It targets a soft peg of $1, with its stability managed by a VWAP-based mechanism that uses rental income to repurchase tokens when their value dips below the peg.
The Junior Allocation token, Jai, provides flexible access to residual rental capacity only after senior demand is met. Its value is directly exposed to the volatility of the rental market, capturing surplus rates during peak demand but also being subordinate to sAI in the redemption waterfall.
In the event of rental demand shocks or partial liquidations, the jAI layer bears the initial downside, effectively insulating sAI holders. This creates a venture-style risk and reward profile for those betting on the long-term demand for AI compute.
Complementing this dual-token structure is Avalon’s Commercial Rights Tokenization standard, or CRT. Unlike traditional RWA tokenization that often focuses on securitizing ownership, the CRT framework isolates and tokenizes the commercial rights of access and service, allowing for the legal structuring of enforceable rights to commodities, goods, and services onchain.
Avalon’s BTCFi products
Avalon’s whitepaper also positions BTCFi products as a parallel pillar of its ecosystem. The flagship product is USDa, a Bitcoin-backed collateralized debt position stablecoin. Users can mint USDa by depositing collateral like FBTC or by swapping USDT at a 1:1 ratio.
The protocol offers a fixed borrowing rate and features a unique conversion mechanism that allows users to redeem USDa for USDT, aiming to maintain its peg. USDa can also be staked to earn yield through the platform’s savings account.
