VCU is now Diem

Venice has updated how we measure API compute capacity with a name change and denomination update across the platform.

VCU (Venice Compute Units) are now called Diem throughout Venice's platform, including the venice.ai/token dashboard. This change simplifies the terminology and unit size to make the system more intuitive for users.

What has changed

The update involves two key modifications:

• Name change: “VCU” is now “Diem”

• Denomination shift: 1 Diem is equal to 10 of the prior VCUs

Under the new naming convention, each Diem represents $1 of daily API credit instead of the previous $0.10 per VCU.

This means total capacity numbers appear smaller - yesterday's 181,480 VCU capacity is now 18,148 Diem - but each unit of Diem provides 10x the compute power compared to each VCU.

Your allocation remains the same

Nothing material changed about resource allocation or your share of Venice's API capacity. If you previously received 100 VCU daily, you now get 10 Diem daily (and Diem is 10x as powerful). The actual compute power remains identical.
