Venice is a decentralized AI platform built on Base that offers private, censorship-resistant access to generative models. Unlike traditional AI services, Venice ensures user privacy by not logging or storing any data from prompts or outputs. It’s designed for those who want the power of AI without surrendering control over their data.
Venice replaces pay-per-use AI with a staking-based access model. Users stake VVV tokens to receive Venice Compute Units (VCUs), which determine their share of the network’s inference capacity. This system rewards long-term commitment and avoids congestion by dynamically allocating compute based on total staked supply.
More than a utility, Venice represents a vision for open, decentralized AI. It rejects closed, extractive models in favor of transparent infrastructure that supports builders, apps, and communities. By combining blockchain principles with AI, Venice redefines how intelligence can be accessed and owned.
