| AntSeed operates a peer-to-peer protocol and open marketplace for AI services, connecting buyers with independent providers for model inference, agents, and routing. The network uses BitTorrent DHT for discovery and WebRTC for transport, while payments settle in USDC on the Base blockchain through non-custodial smart contracts. Providers define their own services and pricing, and on-chain settlement data is used to build verifiable performance and reputation metrics. AntSeed exposes OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs via a local proxy so existing tools, frameworks, and autonomous agents can route requests through the network. For non-technical users, the AntStation desktop application offers a chat interface that selects providers based on factors such as model type, cost, latency, and privacy. The ecosystem also includes the ANTS utility token, which underpins emissions and incentive programs tied to real network activity. | $2.4M / Seed / Oct 06, 2026 | ||
