$4B+ in all-time Uniswap Protocol volume 🏆

[Virtuals Protocol @virtuals_io]

Virtuals Protocol is integrating @AskVenice to power AI agent building with private, uncensored inference, available to anyone, anywhere on @base.

Venice brings best-in-class privacy-first inference. Virtuals EconomyOS brings the full agent infrastructure stack: wallets, identity, payments, commerce, funding rails, and launch infrastructure.

We are deploying up to $400,000 in private inference credits so anyone can move from idea to working agent without compute or backend complexity getting in the way.

Start your AI journey. Inference and infra are on us.

Program details soon.

this is really long but it is worth reading

[Bankless @Bankless]

Venice’s privacy + AI angle made the VVV trade easy to understand. But there’s another, larger AI shift it's set to capture: the move from training to inference.

Training gets the attention but inference costs are recurring and ever-growing, scaling alongside users and agents.

That is becoming one of AI’s biggest bottlenecks:

> Cerebras’ IPO landed 20x oversubscribed as investors piled in for exposure to its fast inference chips

> Anthropic unexpectedly cut usage limits, reports of
Claude being degraded spread everywhere, then Anthropic disclosed usage had GROWN 80x more than expected

> So, they then partnered with SpaceXAI to use the ENTIRE compute capacity of the Colossus 1 data center

> Now, Claude usage limits are rising again, and free API credits are coming in June

That is the broader tailwind behind Venice: its ecosystem is a gateway to endless inference.

VVV gives access to Venice Pro + can be staked to get perpetual inference via DIEM. Projects are already stockpiling DIEM to service inference for their own platforms, agents, and users.

Then there’s Dolphin, which built the default Venice Uncensored model and runs a distributed inference network using idle consumer GPUs. Its token POD can be used for inference payments and xPOD stakers get daily inference allocations across the network’s models.

David Christopher expects we’ll see more projects like this, serving decentralized inference rather than training.

DIEM & VVV tokenomics...

• 1 DIEM = $1/day of daily renewing AI compute credits, spendable on any model from Qwen to Opus 4.7 to Grok to Nano Banana via Venice (app or api)

• As demand for AI compute rises, DIEM is bid up. Supply is very constrained (see DIEM price chart below since inception last fall).

How does this relate to VVV?

• VVV has the exclusive right to "print" DIEM, which locks the VVV until DIEM is paid back (and thus burned).

• Every VVV holder basically has a growing pile of instant cash/liquidity, because at any time they can lock some or all of their stash and get DIEM to sell on the market.

• Thus as AI compute demand rises, DIEM price rises, and temptation to lock up VVV and mint DIEM grows.

• Fundamental to DIEM's design, is the "mint curve." This defines an exponential curve specifying the rate at which VVV can be locked to mint 1 DIEM.

• The higher the DIEM supply goes, the further up this curve we go, meaning exponentially more VVV must be locked for a marginal increase in DIEM.

• This keeps Venice's liability constrained (remember each DIEM is a liability to Venice, which must provide $1/day of compute)

• And this also means an increasing amount of VVV is taken out of supply and locked up until some day in the future if DIEM is paid back.

In the image below, price of DIEM has risen gradually along demand for AI compute at Venice, and the tan portion of the VVV bars shows the locked supply, rising from ~5m in Nov to ~9m today.

For that VVV supply to ever unlock, DIEM must be bought back and burned... but doing so raises DIEM price and thus tempts more VVV back into locked position.

Equilibrium is hereby established and both VVV and DIEM price should ultimately correlate a) to demand for AI compute generally and b) to quality of Venice's AI compute offering specifically.

Today we're introducing programmatic VVV buy and burns 🔥

Every new Venice Pro subscription now automatically triggers a $1 $VVV buy and burn. At the current rate, that's roughly $1,000 in VVV burned per day.

"Every major AI platform — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity — stores your conversations on centralized servers. That data can be reviewed, classified, subpoenaed, hacked, or sold. You're trusting the company, its employees, its vendors, and every government that asks.

Venice is architecturally different. Prompts are not stored server-side. Chat history lives in the user's browser. And as of March 18, 2026, Venice offers something no other AI platform does: verifiable encryption."

[Venice @AskVenice]

On the Path to a Deflationary VVV with Native Yield

Over the next few months, we'll be reducing VVV emissions by another 50% — from 6 million to 3 million tokens per year.

May 1, 2026 — 6M → 5M
June 1, 2026 — 5M → 4M
July 1, 2026 — 4M → 3M

These emissions reductions are part of our path to a deflationary VVV with native yield:
• Decrease emissions to make VVV increasingly scarce
• Increase VVV burns with Venice revenue growth through our buyback and burn program
• Our goal is to cross the threshold where VVV burns exceed emissions

As Venice usage grows and more VVV gets burned through the protocol, we approach the point where VVV becomes net deflationary while still generating native yield for stakers.

Less emissions, more burning. Native, sustainable yield from a product millions of people use.
