Tensor

Tensor (TENSOR) is the cryptocurrency used for many things in the Hypertensor network. Tensor is distributed to subnets based on the fundamental and economic performance of a subnet, and to the subnet validator nodes based on their performance within the subnet. Tensor is also the only acceptable form of payment for transaction fees on-chain.

The Tensor cryptocurrency supports a pricing mechanism for Hypertensor's computing power. When users want to make a transaction, they must pay Tensor to have their transaction recognized on the blockchain. These usage costs are known as block weight (also known as gas fees), and the fee depends on the amount of computing power required to execute the transaction and the network-wide demand for computing power at the time.
