We like to call it a compute-denominated stablecoin, but the proper term is utility token. Traditional stablecoins are designed to stay the same price in some common currency. A utility token, on the other hand, is a voucher that gives you access to something. In the case of Melange, it is used to secure access to a fixed amount of inference on the 'best' model available at the moment, or more accurately, the most expensive among the flagship models from the major providers. It is also worth noting what Melange is not. Melange is not a financial asset. You should not treat is as an investment — if you do not intend to use it for inference, you should not buy it.
