{"id":"chip-usdai","title":"CHIP (USD.AI)","content":"CHIP is the native [governance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/governance-tokens) and [utility token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/utility-token) of the [USD.ai](https://iq.wiki/wiki/usdai) protocol, a crypto project focused on financing artificial-intelligence (AI) infrastructure and issuing USD-pegged assets. CHIP governs core protocol parameters, supports incentive programs, and interacts with depositor and staking flows that underpin USD.ai’s synthetic dollar instruments and GPU‑backed lending markets. The token’s public trading began in April 2026, following a [CoinList](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinlist) ICO and an airdrop program; market coverage noted unusually high trading volumes during the initial listing window and a launch that coincided with a broader crypto rally.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC) [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-3xEIk7usUnpLLNtZ)​\n\n## Background\n\n​[USD.ai ](https://iq.wiki/wiki/usdai)describes itself as a lending and synthetic‑dollar protocol built around financing AI hardware (notably GPUs) by enabling tokenized collateral and on‑chain credit. Within this design, three native instruments are central: USDai (a non‑yielding synthetic dollar), sUSDai (a yield‑bearing representation of USDai), and CHIP (the governance token). Protocol documents emphasize that CHIP holders influence borrower economics and yield settings across the USD.ai stack, including parameters that drive interest income from GPU‑backed loans. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-PcB8hs5cYG7v2Vny)​\n\nUSD.ai’s organizational communications reference a USD.ai [Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/foundation) and related entities that steward token distribution and governance rollouts. The project’s launch materials also reference development contributions by Permian Labs and a multi‑chain deployment approach for CHIP; however, named individual founders were not prominently disclosed in the consulted primary pages at launch, and formal leadership biographies should be verified in official governance or legal filings. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC) [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-PcB8hs5cYG7v2Vny)​\n\n### Timeline\n\n* February 9, 2026 — USD.ai announces the CHIP ICO and airdrop, including [CoinList](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinlist) sale details and eligibility rules tied to the “Allo Game” engagement program.\n* February 10–27, 2026 — [CoinList](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinlist) KYC window for ICO participation.\n* February 22–27, 2026 — [CoinList](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinlist) ICO sale window at $0.03 per CHIP (700 million CHIP, described as 7% of supply).\n* April 20, 2026 — USD.ai reports [USDC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/usdc) distributions to eligible [Level](https://iq.wiki/wiki/level) Up airdrop wallets in advance of claims.\n* April 21, 2026 — CHIP public trading begins (inferred from USD.ai’s April 22 “went live yesterday” phrasing).\n* April 21, 2026 — South Korean exchanges [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit) and [Bithumb](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bithumb) list the token; [Binance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance) and [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) also list around this time, broadening access.\n* April 22, 2026 — USD.ai publishes “$CHIP Is Live”; [Hyperliquid](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hyperliquid) announces perpetual futures, coinciding with a surge in trading volume.\n* April 21–22, 2026 — Prediction‑market activity around USD.ai’s fully diluted valuation intensifies; media note a concurrent market rally. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-kDL4DlfV2oFXpszd) [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC) [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-s03TkvY9SLMUymjC) [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-3xEIk7usUnpLLNtZ)\n\n## Tokenomics\n\nCHIP is a fixed‑supply, ERC‑20 compatible, multi‑chain token used for governance, staking/insurance, fee routing, and ecosystem incentives. The project’s launch materials specify a 10,000,000,000 maximum supply with 18 decimals and a primary contract address. Public market trackers listed circulating‑supply data around launch, but these metrics change over time and should be timestamped when cited. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC) [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-YqTAey9KfX6qdKBg)​\n\n* Supply and identity: 10,000,000,000 maximum supply; contract address 0x0c1c1c109fe34733fca54b82d7b46b75cfb71f6e; multi‑chain/OFT deployments on [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum), and [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base). [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC)\n* ICO parameters: USD.ai allocated 700,000,000 CHIP (7% of supply) to the [CoinList](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinlist) sale at 300 million FDV at ICO price. ICO tokens were announced as unlocked at TGE; sale accepted USDC/USDT on [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum). [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-kDL4DlfV2oFXpszd)\n* Circulating supply and market data: Market aggregators recorded circulating supply, price, and volume in real time after listings; early snapshots showed a 10 billion max supply and around 2 billion circulating at or near launch. Figures are time‑sensitive and should be confirmed on aggregator pages for the date of reference. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-YqTAey9KfX6qdKBg) [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-ULH7IUTVjmSESuFY)\n* Governance remit: The token’s governance scope includes borrower rates and ranges, hardware approval criteria, interest‑rate settings that affect sUSDai accrual, and broader protocol requirements, emphasizing CHIP’s policy role over USD.ai’s credit and yield mechanics. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-PcB8hs5cYG7v2Vny)\n* Allocation and vesting details: USD.ai’s tokenomics materials describe Ecosystem Bootstrapping at 27.5% (funding liquidity, growth initiatives, airdrops, and targeted incentives), and a [Reserve](https://iq.wiki/wiki/reserve) at 19.5% (grants, partnerships, and R\\&D for the protocol). The docs also outline vesting for Core Contributors (Permian Labs contributors) and Investors: 0% before month 12, 33% at month 12, with the remaining 67% vesting or unlocking in equal monthly installments over the subsequent 24 months. Program materials note that 10% of CHIP was distributed during Season 1 (“The Allo Game”). Figures and schedules reflect the project’s documentation as of April 2026 and should be timestamped when cited. [\\[9\\]](#cite-id-BC91ce1DWScAwPKJ)\n\n## Launch and Distribution\n\nUSD.ai staged CHIP’s rollout in phases: an Allo Game engagement program, a public [CoinList](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinlist) ICO, an airdrop to eligible Allo participants, and post‑TGE listings across centralized and decentralized venues. The project also described “Level Up” distribution mechanics with protected unlocks and refund options linked to FDV benchmarks for certain participants. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-kDL4DlfV2oFXpszd) [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC)\n\n* [CoinList](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinlist) ICO: The public sale ran February 22–27, 2026, following a KYC window (February 10–27), at $0.03 per CHIP with a 700 million token allocation. USD.ai stated ICO tokens would be delivered to non‑custodial wallets and would be fully unlocked at TGE. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-kDL4DlfV2oFXpszd)\n\n* [Airdrop](https://iq.wiki/wiki/airdrop) eligibility: Allo Game Season 1 participants who achieved “alignment” (participation in designated ICO/[Airdrop](https://iq.wiki/wiki/airdrop) strategies) were eligible for allocations delivered at TGE, with no separate claim required for registered wallets. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-kDL4DlfV2oFXpszd)\n\n* Listings and derivatives: Following TGE, CHIP appeared on major data aggregators and multiple exchanges. Regional reporting cited listings on [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit) and [Bithumb](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bithumb) (April 21), and near‑concurrent listings on [Binance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance) and [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase); [Hyperliquid](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hyperliquid) announced perpetual futures on April 22, 2026. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-s03TkvY9SLMUymjC)\n\n* Protected unlocks and refunds: USD.ai described [Level](https://iq.wiki/wiki/level) Up mechanics featuring “protected” CHIP unlocks with maturity dates and FDV‑based refund options in [USDC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/usdc); specific settlement thresholds and dates were outlined in the launch announcement and associated program materials. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC)\n\nParticipation in the ICO and airdrop was subject to KYC and jurisdictional exclusions typical for token sales; USD.ai published an exclusion list and emphasized official channels to mitigate phishing risks. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-kDL4DlfV2oFXpszd)\n\n## Use Cases and Utility\n\n* Governance of credit and yield: CHIP holders participate in governance that sets borrower rates, loan terms, and hardware eligibility for GPU‑backed loans; these choices influence sUSDai’s yield accrual and overall risk posture. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-PcB8hs5cYG7v2Vny)\n\n* [Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) and insurance: USD.ai materials describe [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) into an insurance module that aims to protect sUSDai holders against protocol bad debt; [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) also interfaces with reward programs, including points systems referenced in launch communications. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC)\n\n* Incentives and liquidity: CHIP is allocated to bootstrap liquidity, reward depositors and LPs, and coordinate participation across venues such as Curve, Aerodrome, Gamma, [Balancer](https://iq.wiki/wiki/balancer), and select lending protocols. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC)\n\n* Cross‑chain asset and trading unit: As a multi‑chain/OFT token, CHIP circulates across [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum), and [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base), enabling access to both centralized exchanges and EVM‑compatible DeFi integrations. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC)\n\nThe mix of governance, staking/insurance, and incentive routing positions CHIP as a coordination asset across USD.ai’s synthetic‑dollar and lending products. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-PcB8hs5cYG7v2Vny)\n\n## Community and Governance\n\nUSD.ai presents CHIP as the governance instrument for protocol policy and credit risk management. Governance primitives (proposal submission, voting, and parameter updates) are designed to shape capital deployment and yield distribution while a foundation structure coordinates off‑chain stewardship and communications. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-PcB8hs5cYG7v2Vny) [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC)​\nProject documentation states that every core protocol parameter is subject to CHIP governance and that no material change to the protocol’s infrastructure can proceed without a governance vote. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-MWzpoOFWItFicvny)\n\n* Governance scope: CHIP holders determine settings that directly affect borrower terms, hardware eligibility, and sUSDai yield mechanics; the model emphasizes measurable, parameterized governance over credit and treasury policy. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-PcB8hs5cYG7v2Vny)\n\n* Community programs: USD.ai’s Allo Game and later “Flatiron” points seasons channeled rewards (including CHIP airdrops) to LPs, stakers, and integrators across targeted venues, encouraging early participation and liquidity formation. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC)\n\n* Governance architecture: Areas explicitly governed include collateral standards, interest‑rate parameters, loan‑eligibility criteria, protocol upgrades and integrations (including oracle/data providers), and protocol fee surfaces and routing. The docs note that oracle/data providers such as [Chainlink](https://iq.wiki/wiki/chainlink) require governance approval when added or modified. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-MWzpoOFWItFicvny)\n\n* [Collateral](https://iq.wiki/wiki/collateral) and risk standards: Governance sets GPU hardware eligibility and related risk parameters. Listed eligible hardware includes RTX Pro 6000, H200, B200/B300, and GB200/GB300; parameters can include maximum LTVs, hardware depreciation schedules, and meta‑governance for adding or sunsetting [collateral](https://iq.wiki/wiki/collateral) tiers. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-MWzpoOFWItFicvny)\n\n* Interest‑rate and loan‑eligibility controls: Governance defines the base reference rate for GPU‑backed loans, tier‑specific adjustments (including utilization‑based and governance‑triggered changes), minimum collateral coverage, acceptable offtake contract structures, geographic restrictions, and borrower profile criteria. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-MWzpoOFWItFicvny)\n\n* [Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) module and backstop (sCHIP): CHIP can be staked to receive sCHIP; unstaking is subject to cooldown and withdrawal periods set by governance. Staked CHIP may be used to cover protocol shortfalls as a backstop, with slash amounts capped by parameters established via governance, and with governance defining what qualifies as a shortfall event. The [Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/foundation) has indicated it is exploring upgrades to staked CHIP, subject to security, legal, and contract review. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-MWzpoOFWItFicvny)\n\n* Procedural notes: Smart‑contract upgrades, oracle/data‑provider approvals, external protocol integrations, and fee routing or fee‑surface changes require governance approval, and are framed as “no‑go” without a successful governance vote. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-MWzpoOFWItFicvny)\n\n## Partnerships and Integrations\n\nPost‑TGE coverage referenced listings and derivatives support across centralized and decentralized platforms. In DeFi, USD.ai highlighted integrations where participants could earn rewards by staking or providing liquidity in stablecoin and governance‑token pools. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-s03TkvY9SLMUymjC) [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC)\n\n* Exchange access: Regional and global exchanges (e.g., [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit), [Bithumb](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bithumb), [Binance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance), [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase)) listed CHIP during the launch window; [Hyperliquid](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hyperliquid) announced perpetual futures the following day, broadening derivatives access. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-s03TkvY9SLMUymjC)\n\n* DeFi venues: USD.ai’s incentives program referenced Curve, Aerodrome, [Balancer](https://iq.wiki/wiki/balancer), Gamma, Maverick, and lending protocols including Fluid, Euler, Silo, [Morpho](https://iq.wiki/wiki/morpho), and Gearbox as channels to earn rewards tied to USDai/sUSDai and CHIP liquidity. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-xUAnW5J1eMOqwZCC)\n\n* Market visibility: Aggregators [CoinGecko](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coingecko) and [CoinMarketCap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinmarketcap) provided contract links, exchange pairs, and live metrics that increased discoverability and enabled broad monitoring.
