OpenClaw Endorses Venice.ai, VVV Token Surges Over 500% in One Month
OpenClaw, an open-source self-hosted AI agent platform, has listed Venice.ai—a privacy-focused, decentralized AI project with a native token—among its recommended model providers. This move comes shortly after OpenClaw founder publicly discouraged engagement with cryptocurrencies. Venice.ai, founded by crypto OG Erik Voorhees, emphasizes private, uncensored AI interactions by not storing any user data on its servers.
Venice operates a dual-token economy: VVV, a stakable capital asset with an ~19% APY, and DIEM, which is minted from VVV and acts as a perpetual AI compute credit. 1 DIEM (≈$670) provides $1 daily in API credits, making it cost-effective for heavy users like AI agents.
VVV’s price surged over 500% in a month, rising from ~$1.5 to ~$8.4, driven by supply constraints—including a token burn of unclaimed airdrops and reduced annual emissions—and growing demand. Venice now has over 25,000 API users, partly fueled by OpenClaw’s endorsement.
The project positions itself as a privacy-backend for agent-based AI, combining crypto-economic incentives with scalable, private AI infrastructure.
