Today, VVV emissions reduced from 4M to 3M tokens per year.

This is the third planned reduction:
- May 1st: 6M → 5M
- June 1st: 5M → 4M
- July 1st: 4M → 3M

Our goal is a net deflationary VVV with native yield, where burns exceed emissions.

Today, @askvenice announced a $65M Series A at a $1B valuation.

We started this company in 2024 with a simple conviction: people deserve an AI platform that doesn't spy on them or decide what they're allowed to think.

Our job was to build a private, unrestricted AI platform that could find product-market fit without compromising on principles.

VVV and Capital

Measured by revenue, Venice has become the largest company at the intersection of AI and cryptoeconomics.

Today, we announced Venice’s first round of outside capital, a $65m Series A led by @dragonfly_xyz, valuing Venice’s equity at $1 billion.

Since we are an atypical company, this thread describes how this equity raise relates to the most valuable asset we have on our balance sheet, our capital token base:0xacfe6019ed1a7dc6f7b508c02d1b04ec88cc21bf

@G_Moskaliuk I love this library. We did put in a patch recently because we've noticed the kotlin text components are too eager to highlight text when scrolling lists. We adjusted the native files so the text is selectable on long press, more like iOS. It works well for us, just a thought!

AI x Crypto feels like the true final frontier that brings crypto truly mainstream

I don't see any stronger narratives

Venice looks positioned to own this vertical.

If $VVV is the private, uncensored version of ChatGPT... it feels undervalued
