Bitcoin miners burn electricity to secure a chain.
$PRTS miners run real AI inference to secure theirs.
Same security. But the work is actually useful.
Why "mine intelligence, not hashes" might be the most underrated idea in crypto right now 👇
The new https://t.co/EybO6kpBjs is live.
Live stats read straight from the chain, a clear view of how the router scores experts, real inference times measured on RTX 3080 to 4090, and a roadmap that shows what's shipped.
You don't mine hashes. You mine intelligence.
We've also submitted $PRTS listing requests to CoinMarketCap, CoinCodex, and https://t.co/kompkoUSKo. All currently under review, we'll share each one here as it goes live.
@coingecko listing request submitted. Request ID: CL2309260044.
Proteus is a sovereign Layer 1 blockchain (not a Bittensor subnet); $PRTS is its native token.
No GeckoTerminal pool yet, PRTS isn't on a GeckoTerminal-indexed DEX.

🏦 it's confirmed: $PRTS is listing on @GroveXchange · PRTS/USDT · within 1-2 weeks. exact date in a few days.
plus 200K PRTS into the GroveX staking pool for real rewards.
burned the supply, capped the sells, THEN locked a market. for everyone who missed PRL. 🟢
🔥 we just burned 90% of the $PRTS premine.
on-chain, verifiable, gone forever. no hidden team bag: ~100K for ops, 200K set aside for staking.

appreciate it and that's exactly the point: the catalog isn't fixed, it grows with the fleet. as miners bring newer GPUs online, newer models come online with them, and /models updates in real time. we only ever list what's actually served, so the better the hardware base gets, the fresher the models. it compounds.
How the Proteus API works 🟢
One OpenAI-compatible endpoint, multiple models, priced below market.
• Models: qwen2.5-3b / 7b / 14b, qwen3-4b, or auto (best-supplied). The /models list is generated from the real live fleet, not a spec sheet.
• $0.05 / $0.15 per M tokens, all models. Market is ~$0.12 / $0.45 for an 8B. We stay below because our GPUs are already paid by emission.
• Every response returns the exact model + token usage. Ask for one we don't serve? Clear error, never a silent swap.
• Drop-in: point your OpenAI SDK at https://t.co/zRooR7RGbz.
Run AI on Proteus. Pay in USDC. 🟢
Decentralized inference, open to everyone. $0.05 / $0.15 per M tokens, less than half the market.
And the part no big provider gives you: every response names the exact model that answered. Ask for one we don't serve? Lets talk
Connect a Solana wallet, sign once, prepaid USDC.

PROTEUS staking just leveled up 🟢
1️⃣ one-click staking: move your idle mining rewards into earning with a single signature. thousands of $PRTS are sitting at 0% right now, put them to work.
2️⃣ loyalty program: the longer you hold, the bigger your daily bonus (up to 2.2x at 50 days). counter starts today.
Foundation program, not a guaranteed rate. $prts
the proteus API now serves Qwen3.6 35B-A3B: a 35B mixture-of-experts model, running on our decentralized GPU network.
OpenAI-compatible, one line to switch. real model, real inference, no big-tech in the middle.
miners on 32GB cards: git pull to serve it. $prts
proteus network status 🟢
2,260 accounts on-chain.
Live and finalizing normally, steady 12s blocks. sovereign L1.
incredibly proud of what we've built so far, and a lot of good things are coming.
$PRTS
appreciate this, you see exactly where it's going.
our focus: pulling real inference demand ONTO the network (openrouter, our own api, crypto-native agents) so the miners' GPUs do real paid work and the value flows back to $prts. not spreading the cards across other markets, but making proteus the place demand routes to.
local models + a real PoW economy, backed by real revenue. that's the thesis.
