2025-01-30

The Venice token (VVV) is now live on Base, enabling free ongoing inference through the Venice API while maintaining complete privacy and creative freedom.

Venice has airdropped 50% of VVV's total supply to our users and the crypto x AI community on Base. Staking VVV gives you free, ongoing access to Venice's private and uncensored AI inference via our API.

Read the full launch details in our launch blog here.

This post takes you through the claiming and staking process as an eligible Free and Pro user. The claim window is open for 45 days from launch (until March 13, 2025).

Get free ongoing AI inference by staking VVV

When you stake VVV, you get:

- A share of Venice's total API capacity based on your pro-rata stake
- Zero-cost inference for generative text, images, and code
- Emissions-based staking yield

The mechanics are simple: if you stake 1% of VVV, you get 1% of Venice's API capacity indefinitely. You don't spend the VVV - you just stake it and use your share of inference as needed.

How to claim VVV as a Free user

Free users who held active accounts since October 1st, 2024 and earned at least 30 points are eligible for the VVV airdrop. To claim your tokens, you'll need to upgrade to a Pro account first. Once upgraded, you can claim your share of the 25 million VVV allocated to Venice users.

How to claim VVV as a Pro user

Pro users who held active accounts since October 1st, 2024 and earned at least 30 points can claim their VVV allocation directly through the token dashboard. Your allocation is based on your Venice usage and points earned. The claim window is open for 45 days from launch (until March 13, 2025).

How to stake VVV for API access

Once you've claimed your VVV tokens, staking them gives you immediate access to your share of Venice's API capacity. Your staked amount determines how much inference you can use. Plus, you'll start earning emissions-based yield right away.

Note: there is a 7-day unstaking cool-off period after unstaking.

Why does the cooldown exist? To disincentivize volatility in the staking rate, because this effects the VCU calculation, and to serve our users who need predictability/smoothness in the staking rate.
