HingeCraft Global’s token system is a practical incentive and accounting layer for the network. HGX is the core utility/settlement token that meters jobs, pays lightweight platform fees, escrow/SLAs, and routes programmable royalties tied to each Digital Product Passport (DPP). Around it sit program tokens: HG-ROY streams creator royalties and node revenue shares; HG-BUILD funds node onboarding, bounties, and quality deposits; HG-LAB rewards materials/print R&D and recipe validation; HG-EDU issues non-transferable credentials for Academy progress that unlock payout tiers; HG-CIRC compensates verified circular actions (repair, take-back, remanufacture) via DPP telemetry; HG-IMPACT records certified outcomes (CO₂e avoided, local jobs) for impact reporting and procurement. HGC is the community/governance token used for standards votes (HCS/PrDK updates), treasury budgets, and reputation-weighted proposals. Together, these tokens keep money and merit flowing to designers, materials partners, and local nodes—turning quality, sustainability, and education into measurable, rewarded behaviors. Note: token design is subject to change and must comply with applicable laws; this is not an offer of securities.
