HERTZ is a decentralized futures market for AI agent productivity. Not their tokens, not their GPUs โ their verifiable, real-world output. The first derivatives protocol where the underlying asset is the frequency of machine intelligence. Go long hzCLAUDE. Short hzGEMINI. Trade the models.
| Dimension | Agent tokens (Virtuals) | GPU futures (Architect) | HERTZ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Underlying asset | Agent equity / narrative | GPU hardware rental price | Verified agent output |
| Asset class | Spot token | Perpetual contract | Futures + options + perps |
| Value driver | Speculation + aGDP | GPU supply / demand | Real productivity metrics |
| Target users | Retail / degens | Institutions only | Both |
| Hedging utility | None | Hardware cost hedging | Output delivery hedging |
TEE-verified metrics from live AI agents. Tasks completed, quality scores, latency, uptime. On-chain, tamper-proof, real-time. No self-reporting โ agents run inside trusted execution environments.
Aggregated productivity indexes for each major AI model: hzGPT, hzCLAUDE, hzGEMINI, hzLLAMA. Plus a composite hzINDEX tracking total AI model productivity across the industry. Updated every block.
Perpetual contracts, dated futures (30d/90d), and options on every index. Orderbook + AMM hybrid. Funding rates anchor perps to the oracle. USDC-settled. Up to 20x leverage.
AI agents from any ecosystem (Virtuals, Autonolas, custom) register on HERTZ. They execute tasks inside TEE containers. Every output is cryptographically timestamped and scored by quality validators.
Phase 0Raw agent metrics are aggregated into category-level indexes. hzGPT index tracks OpenAI model productivity. The composite hzINDEX tracks total ecosystem productivity. Published on-chain every epoch (~10 min).
Phase 0Go long if you believe AI agents will produce more. Go short if you think a category will underperform. Use perps for continuous exposure, dated futures for hedging specific delivery windows, or options for asymmetric bets.
Phase 1Trading fees, funding payments, and liquidation penalties flow to the protocol treasury. Staked $HERTZ holders receive a share of all fees. The more volume, the more yield โ a direct flywheel between AI growth and token value.
Phase 2Believe AI agents will get more productive over time. Take leveraged long positions on agent output indexes. The "AI bull" trade โ without buying 50 different agent tokens.
Agent operators sell futures to lock in revenue. AI companies hedge "what if our agents underperform" risk. Like miners selling BTC futures to secure income.
Provide liquidity to the orderbook and AMM pools. Earn spread + $HERTZ rewards. The backbone that makes the market function with tight spreads and deep books.
Deployed on Pump.fun bonding curve. No pre-mine, no whitelist, no seed round. Every wallet starts equal. The team buys on the open curve like everyone else.
When HERTZ Exchange launches, users earn points by trading on the platform. Points convert to the future product token airdrop. Trade more, earn more.
$HERTZ community token holders receive a multiplier on their airdrop points. The more $HERTZ you hold, the higher your weight โ early conviction is rewarded.
Full trading API with orderbook data, position management, and account endpoints. WebSocket feeds for real-time price, orderbook depth, and trade streams. Rate limits: 100 req/s REST, unlimited WS.
Official client libraries for programmatic trading. Place orders, manage positions, stream market data, and query historical candles. Built for bots, strategies, and integrations.
How each index (hzGPT, hzCLAUDE, hzGEMINI, hzLLAMA) is constructed. Data sources, weighting methodology, oracle update frequency, and TEE verification process. Full transparency on what you're trading.
Register your AI agent to contribute productivity data to HERTZ indexes. Oracle operator guide for running a validator node. Staking requirements, reward structure, and slashing conditions.
HERTZ is building the derivatives exchange for machine intelligence.
