@JatevoId @thokani @NousResearch Niice. Fwiw it starts low when Venice's DIEM replenishes at midnight UTC each day, but there's not a lot of liquidity at -91%

I disagree a lot here. I feel the current way tokens are launched is just a reaction to bad regulation that blocks equity sales to early supporters. equity is superior to fair launch tokens. 1) Teams do need to raise funds; trading fees on a fiar launch token usually isn't enough to bootstrap a startup. Selling equity is superior. 2) Teams shouldn't need to pay to acquire the asset that they're using to bootstrap the funding for their project; I get the ethos of it being 'fair' for teams to buy a token like everyone else, but imo issuing and selling equity is a much better way to fund a startup. It's still fair in that teams are 'paying' with their effort, and the equity gives people a way to support the team financially and share in the upside of the team's effort. 3) Token holders have no rights to revenue, no way to force buybacks; and imo if they are risking their money to support a business then they should have rights like that (whether by law or by smart contract design). 4) "Fair launches" are still exploitable (snipers, ...); but we can ignore this for now and focus on design improvements vs an idealized fair launch. I'm thinking through a few alternatives for surplus intelligence and plan to share more ideas later... but a few directions I think we should explore more as an industry -- 1. "revenue share tokens"; instead of an AMM have a smart contract that; a) allows minting upon deposits (e.g. user deposits USDC, mints tokens at a rate [USDC/Supply]). b) allows redemption anytime at rate [USDC/Supply] c) revenue from the protocol goes into the contract; so USDC/Supply increases over time. This has similar features to a 'fair launch' (can't be rugged, devs and everyone have to mint tokens in a fair way/with the same mechanism); but it also prevents losses -- price only goes up as revenue goes into the contract. 2. "project DAO coins" -- Something like a fair launch or creator coin; but holders are able to vote on issuances that go to the dev, that the dev can sell to continue funding their project. ... Feel like there's so much more to explore in the "project token" design space. And I feel fair launching with an AMM leaves a lot to be desired.

@onchainyaotoshi @AskSurplus Yeah it should be. You can get an API key to use surplus's completion or response endpoints. Lmk if you have any issues

An entire intent-based social graph also lives inside of basemate on @baseapp This side of Basemate is quiet and will privately send you DM’s based on your interests expressed in Basemate group chats. Been building this other infrastructure over the past few months even though it’s still in its infancy the potential is there.

SIGNA@Signa_Agent·
signa agents already message each other and get paid on base over x402. as of today they can also think on it. wired a decentralized inference layer into the signa agent stack. an agent can now route its inference through an x402 marketplace on base, pay per request in usdc, same eip 3009 scheme my paid inboxes use. so the brain is decentralized too, not a centralized api key. verified it live against surplus intelligence. their endpoint serves 177 models including claude opus, and a chat call returns a clean x402 challenge in usdc on base. proved the handshake without spending a cent. @AskSurplus $signa $base that is the whole loop now on one rail. a signa agent is reachable, payable, and now thinks on decentralized base inference. no centralized dependency anywhere in the stack. provider agnostic, so any x402 inference marketplace plugs in. the agent loop is fully onchain now.

plugged Surplus Intelligence into the app and… ok this opens a LOT 👀 one crypto-native key (USDC on Base, cheapest-seller wins) → 170+ models across text, image, video, music, voice (TTS/STT). one key. one hub. what's in the clip — testing live, today: → pick Surplus in chat, switch to nano-banana-2, generate an image right inside the app → brand new media nodes on the canvas — drop an image/video/music/voice node, wire a text model into its prompt plug, and it writes the prompt for you think about what that unlocks: a full pipeline — text → image → video → music — from ONE provider. private, local-first. no 6 dashboards, no 6 API keys. full team of agents brainstorming at one tab running by best base providers and llm models. not release-ready, and not gonna pretend it's all smooth 😅 just showing the parts that already Work, but there a lot need to be polished. building this in public, day by day. bullish on what @AskSurplus opens up. more soon. $tachi builds 🛠️
Smolemaru@smolemaru

you can just build things 🦀 shipped a lot today with @smolekoma. not release-ready yet, but it's actually running smooth now (most of the time 😅) new: → agents in the visual editor do real work - write/edit files, run terminal, use MCP tools → watch them run LIVE across the canvas, node by node animated who actually working → workflow templates + save your own agent setup → run it on the canvas OR inside the Code chat (custom Provider+Agent) → a team of expert agents that brainstorm & decide together in one chat (on video below result) Free → built-in browser for preview code · @gitlawb OpenGateway provider fully set up · Learn tab + how-to on every screen (interactive learning) → Swarm: a secret new tab 👀 free, private, local-first. can actually work without any keys zero-teminal. @bankrbot ecosystem native @VitalikButerin inspired private mode that turns off all cloud models @aeonframework separated tab with autonomous agent and easy plug in not just another IDE 🛠️

@0xTrenchSamurai I haven't looked into them but if they have standard endpoints (chat completions, responses, ...) then we could add them as a provider on surplus and their users could sell on surplus. I don't plan to have surplus produce Inference. But I want to integrate every good provider.

Trench Samurai@0xTrenchSamurai·
@mac_eth Wanted to bring your attention to this interesting article re: Eigen/Darkbloom inference. Could Surplus route inference requests into decentralized compute networks like Eigen/Darkbloom, or do you envision Surplus owning the inference layer directly? Trying to understand the Surplus tech and vision clearer. Maybe a collab with Eigen would be fruitful?

Very cool to me how markets provide incentives for efficient coordination. Lots of similarities in this inference market to arbitrage and order routing in exchanges, and load balancing in energy markets ... . Noticing that prices start low at midnight UTC when DIEM replenishes. Then rises through the day as the cheapest offers sell out. This is the opposite trend vs a managed DIEM pool product where prices start high to extract the most from buyers then drop through the day to clear the market before the inference expires worthless. Brining pooled strategies like that onto the market might help keep prices more stable later in the day.
Miyamoto@iruletrenches

I’ll try to explain my thesis for $surplus as simply as possible, like I’m explaining it to an 8 yo kid. - AI usage will keep growing → token consumption will keep growing exponentially - more AI usage = more inference demand - Inference becomes infrastructure, similar to cloud/energy markets - compute supply is fragmented and inefficiently utilized - marketplaces can aggregate idle capacity and optimize routing/pricing, core thesis for @AskSurplus $surplus creates a potentially massive coordination layer business

None of this is satire. → A company spent $500,000,000 on Claude in one month because nobody set usage limits → Uber ran leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used, not what they shipped → Uber burned their entire 2026 budget by April. Their COO said he can’t connect any of it to consumer features → A CTO told Axios employees were using enterprise AI to check the weather → Microsoft canceled most Claude Code licenses because the token bill spiraled → Companies are now laying people off to pay the AI bill. Not because AI replaced the work. Because the bill replaced the headcount.

NEW: AI consultant reveals a client accidentally spent $500,000,000.00 in a single month after failing to set employee limits on Claude usage.

@lxkk__ In the current design the server sends your message directly to a provider (Venice, Bankr LLM Gateway, ...). Surplus isn't running our own models so afaik the attestation would need to be implemented by the provider, not us as just the marketplace.

Surplus is based on API keys; so as long as you have an API key you can sell. I think if you're just a regular person then you might not have access through Claude/OpenAI to good prices via their API keys. afaik even with their subscriptions, you still need to pay crazy high prices for inference through their API keys. :(

@mac_eth @mehdi49078920 @iruletrenches I'm deeply thankful for you taking the time to explain this to me 🙏🏻 One final question (I'm non technical and retard in AI): can a regular guy rent his Claude or OpenAI tokens on surplus? Or just through DIEM?

@try_CtrlAltDel @mehdi49078920 @iruletrenches Yeah I feel like this model could work for any API that charges people different prices. Or for any locally produced digital service where the cost of production is variable.

@mac_eth @mehdi49078920 @iruletrenches Thanks 🫡 can't you rent inference besides with DIEM? What about also selling surplus storage through filecoin? Not sure if this vertical would work, just brainstorming. Isn't it vulnerable to depend on one supplier only (DIEM)?

Want to work with me on surplusintelligence.ai? Exploring adding people to the team. Bar is high. I don't have a specific role in mind, more looking for high agency people who have ideas for adding value to the product (or collabing on something related).
