# How to Use $MODELA

### How to Use $MODELA

$MODELA is more than just a reward — it’s the utility token that unlocks deeper access, performance, and opportunity across the Modela ecosystem.

Whether you're a developer, creator, or node operator, holding and using $MODELA allows you to tap into advanced features, faster performance, and ecosystem-level participation.

#### Ways to Use $MODELA

**1. Unlock Faster and Higher-Quality Generations**

Spend $MODELA to prioritize your prompt in the generation queue. This gives you access to:

* Shorter wait times
* Enhanced quality models
* Style-specific or advanced generation modes (as available)

**2. Access Premium Tools and Features**

Certain features within the Modela app or API may require $MODELA, such as:

* Batch generation
* Custom style transfer
* Private prompt sessions
* Advanced asset export options

**3. Boost Visibility and Validation**

Use $MODELA to boost your assets or prompts for more exposure, community validation, or inclusion in curated libraries (if supported).

**4. Participate in the Ecosystem**

As the platform evolves, $MODELA may be used to:

* Vote on new features or integrations
* Join early testing groups or alpha programs
* Access token-gated community channels or events

**5. Pay for Compute (Indirect Use)**

When you use Modela, part of the $MODELA you spend helps compensate the decentralized GPU network that powers your generation. It’s a shared value model where your tokens support the infrastructure you rely on.
