Venice Kernel

Throughout the hackathon, we will continue to develop the project, launch the test network, and add new features that we haven’t announced yet. We’re excited to be competing against the @AskVenice and @1shotapi teams, as well as the @MetaMaskDev team and other participants. Development is ongoing, and we’ll add details and update our submission as we go!

@bankrbot claim my rewards

A Rohinhood Chain update is coming soon

@jessepollak @rbthreek You should support tokens that are low-value but still active!

lots of conversations about base over the last week. wanted to share my candid take after a week of listening and a lot of reflection over the last 6 months. first off - in case it’s not obvious, the first quarter of 2026 was a punch in the face. I spent 2024 and 2025 making a two pronged bet to bring base to the world: (1) builders would unlock the next wave of crypto adoption; (2) adoption would be driven by new onchain-native social experiences - creators, content, messaging. imo we made the right bet on builders, but obviously the wrong bet on social. builders did drive the next wave of crypto adoption - prediction markets, perpetuals, stablecoins - but social was not at the center of it. in fact, the entire social side of the market that many of us had been building towards - farcaster, zora, miniapps, and yes, creator coins - disintegrated completely. I was wrong - whether it was timing wrong (is $ansem a creator coin?) or fully wrong, only time will tell, but regardless, i was definitively wrong. the collateral damage was pretty bad! and this year has been an exercise in eating shit. we realized how our focus on social had meant that base had fallen behind in key areas that were now increasingly critical - we had perps (shoutout avantis!) and prediction markets (shoutout limitless!), but both were well behind scaled competitors. and we had a lot of room to improve in unlocking base as a platform for tokenization and payments that really worked for enterprises. people lost confidence, and CT spectators reminded me weekly of all of my mistakes as often as they could. it felt bad man, still feels bad. but if there’s one thing i’ve learned from the last decade of building in this space, it’s that when things feel the worst, the best thing to do is just put your head down and build. so that’s what i’m doing. I refocused my time and attention back to the chain away from the app, started writing code again, shipped a bunch of stuff (azul, beryl, b20, privacy, ledgers) and questioned a bunch of my assumptions: does crypto need social to grow? does base need an app? can base be bigger than coinbase? I thought for a long time that social was the only thing that could drive the sort of viral growth to get crypto to a billion people. unsurprisingly, I now believe that’s wrong. It’s clear that better money is more than enough - we are seeing this live with stablecoins, predictions, perpetuals, tokenization and i only expect it to accelerate. I am now focused on bringing a billion people onchain just by making global finance actually work. on the app, my focus is on building base into the blockchain for global finance. to that end, i’ve handed the base app back to the coinbase mothership, where my now good friend @cobie will be taking it from here to make it the best damn app for onchain you’ve ever seen, including expanding beyond the base ecosystem in ways that tbh i won’t love as the leader of base. it’s incredibly hard to grow a decentralized network inside of a big public corporation. and i feel like much of the discourse on CT over the last week is downstream of this. the following things can be true: (1) base (and i) love memes and (2) brian probably won’t ever bullpost memes on the tl (this activity is illegal once you’re over 40 years of age). it’s weird and we’re working through it as we continue to decentralize base, which has been our commitment from the beginning. we’re going to build base into the blockchain for global finance and do everything we can to be the place that the world’s money settles over the next century. we will surely have formidable competitors (welcome robinhood and stripe!) and people may abandon our cause, but we welcome the competition and believe it’s our duty to win the respect and commitment of those who rally to our banner.  in 2026, this concretely means three things: winning trading, payments, and agents.

Everything. On. Base.

we're applying to the Bankr $100k Inference Program 🫡 with BankrScanner (built into VVVKernel) — every Bankrbot token (CA ending in ba3) gets a 5-layer scam scan before you ape. private inference, instant LOW→EXTREME verdict. these credits would mean free scans for the whole @bankr community. let's make aping safe. x.com/VeniceKernel/s…

gm time to cook !

what's next for VVVKernel 🔵 building the trust layer for onchain AI: 🔜 a @base mini app — scan before you swap, inside the Base App 🔜 a Telegram bot — auto-scan every CA dropped in your groups 🔜 dual-verdict scans — @XiaomiMiMo + @AskVenice cross-check every token 🔜 persistent memory — agents that remember every rug & deployer 🔜 self-improving trust — verdicts that learn from onchain outcomes permissionless guardrails, private by default. built in the open 🫡

@blknoiz06 hey

hey

@austinvirts @ErikVoorhees @blknoiz06 @Banks 👋👋

hey yall @ErikVoorhees is live with @blknoiz06 and @Banks 👀

@mac_eth check dm !

We revamped the UI for surplusintelligence.ai. My favorite part are the little charts that show the discount over the last 48 hours. For the popular models that have volume every hour, you can see the spikes (best discounts) at midnight UTC. And see the discount drop through the day as the cheapest sellers sell out. The best discounts around midnight UTC are ~90% off and last for a few hours. Median discount over the last 7d has been 65% off. So cool to see the market dynamics of this brand new asset class.

@ErikVoorhees It’s a pleasure to be here! Built with Venice!

We like to use the metaphor of Venice as the port city of AI. It guides our product designs toward composability: an open platform rather than a walled garden. Others are now building on this open platform with venice.ai/api This new community page shows many of the things emerging in the lagoon.

@AskVenice The kernel is here!

Introducing: Built in Venice Private, uncensored AI in the wild. SDKs, agents, on-chain experiments, dashboards, and more, all shipped by the Venice community.

The kernel is here!

Built in Venice

@willyogo @base 🫧🫧

It's the best day ever to build an agent on @base

@Oncha1nd @0xSammy @virtuals_io @AskVenice @base 🫧

@0xSammy @virtuals_io @AskVenice @base @VeniceKernel already shipped this

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.
