One request. Video out. Did you know you can generate videos like the one below via API on Cestus?
Use the /v1/videos/generations endpoint today.
Example request:
POST /v1/videos/generations HTTP/1.1
Host: https://t.co/KwH317VU0r
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json
{
"model": "wan2.1-t2v-1.3b",
"prompt": "a lovely cat walking",
"size": "832x480",
"frames": 81,
"fps": 16
}
Compensation scheme
Following the decision to re-launch the Cestus Network project in consultation with the Pons launchpad team as per our original post.
We're aware that many investors in the original Contract were impacted.
As a result we have taken a snapshot and are working internally on a compensation scheme for all those affected. We will share more details soon.
Cestus Network is a legitimate project focused on AI and our focus is on the long term development of the project.
@RedLineDasher The service is currently free at the moment, as this will help onboard users as well as node operators. Since we've only just officially launched this is expected, but this will change.
Step 3:
You're now ready to make an inference call to any of the available models.
Example call:
POST /v1/chat/completions HTTP/1.1 Host: https://t.co/KwH317VU0r Authorization: Bearer (YOUR API KEY) Content-Type: application/json Accept: */* Content-Length: 70 { "model": "qwen3.6-35b", "messages": [ { "role": "user", "content": "hello" } ] }
Example chat with gemma-4-26B
Step 2:
With you API key you can now make an inference call, start first with listing the available models.
GET /v1/models HTTP/1.1
Host: https://t.co/qatGXbXINO
Authorization: Bearer (YOUR API KEY)
Accept: */*
This will return the available models.
We have just bought back and burnt more than 1% of the supply.

20% of creator fees received will continue to be appropriated for further buybacks and burns. This will create a flywheel which was not possible with the last CA.
Hey everyone,
We want to share an important update on Cestus and the reasons behind it.
Since the original launch, the Cestus team has not received any creator fees. We took this up with the Pons launchpad team and worked with them to find a fix. After reviewing the situation, their recommendation was that the best path forward is to re-launch the token.
We know a re-launch isn't ideal, so here's why it matters. Creator rewards exist to give builders the means to keep building. With the current setup, the team hasn't earned a single cent from fees, and the dev allocation is locked up as well. Without any funding, it's very hard to cover project expenses and operating costs, let alone grow the project.
Cestus is an AI utility project, and the first of its kind on RH. We want it to have a long-term future, and that requires the team to have the resources to keep developing, shipping and supporting the community.
What this means for you
The token has been re-launched and the new contract address is 0x6b1ca8209a695b27835964c00ac398f5d4f87a22
Thank you all for your patience and support. We're committed to building Cestus into something worthwhile, and this re-launch is a necessary step to make that possible.
Please be careful: only trust the contract address posted in our official channels. We will never DM you asking for funds.
The Cestus Team
Understanding Cestus Network tech a quick thread 🧵
1/ What is Cestus?
The AI inference market is expected to grow to $255B by 2030.
Cestus Network was built to meet this demand, by providing a permissionless inference network which enables end-users to run inference via an API endpoint and distributed across GPU's on the network.
The team has experience in growing decentralized compute and AI, and initially on launch the platform was made available for free with limited capacity.
A try-before-you-buy approach.
Following the initial launch, payments will be implemented and on-boarding of new GPU providers.
