Venice is a cutting-edge platform providing private, decentralised, and uncensored artificial intelligence services. Leveraging leading open-source AI models for text, code, and image generation, Venice ensures all user data stays strictly on your device and is never stored on Venice's servers. Founded by Erik Voorhees, Venice upholds user sovereignty and unrestricted intelligence by maintaining a permissionless, surveillance-free, and censorship-resistant AI experience. With over 1,000,000 users, Venice distinguishes itself from traditional providers by enabling transparency, privacy, and advanced AI access for everyone.
How It Works
- Decentralised Network: User prompts and data remain 100% private, never leaving your device or stored on Venice servers.
- Encryption: Inference requests (the messages you send) are encrypted and transmitted through a proxy server to decentralised compute resources.
- Secure Circulation: AI outputs are streamed directly back to your browser via encrypted proxies, never being persisted centrally.
- Distributed Processing: Multiple decentralised GPU providers handle inference requests, so a single provider only sees part of your interaction, never your full history or personal identity.
- User Interaction:
- Select from a range of state-of-the-art open-source models; tailor settings like web search and system prompt.
- Enter your prompt—ask questions, request research, generate text, code, or images.
- Review your results, copy output, or share securely with a private link.
- API Access: Developers build apps with a permissionless, uncensored API offering advanced AI capabilities for various domains.
- VVV Token Staking: Stake VVV tokens to access Venice Compute Units (VCU) for paying API inference costs.

FAQs
How is Venice different from ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI services?
Venice offers permissionless, open-source AI access from anywhere, never records your conversations, and provides uncensored, bias-free intelligence. Your data stays local, and all models are transparent and open-source—unlike centralised AI companies with added censorship and surveillance.
Why do my unclaimed rewards disappear when I stake VVV?
Staking additional VVV tokens automatically claims any pending rewards. Rewards are not lost, and all claims can be verified in your transaction history on BaseScan.
Do my staking rewards expire?
No, $VVV staking rewards do not expire. When claiming rewards, you'll need a small amount of $ETH on Base to pay for gas fees.
