Venice is Burning
Blog post from Venice
La Festa del Redentore, a Venetian festival known for its grand fireworks display, recently marked the conclusion of the Venice airdrop, during which over 40,000 participants claimed 17.4 million VVV tokens. These tokens enable free access to the Venice API, offering generative AI for text, image, and code without cost. Following the airdrop, unclaimed tokens worth approximately $100 million were burned, reflecting Venice's commitment to its principles of unrestricted intelligence and transparency. Despite some initial skepticism fueled by social media speculation, Venice has not sought venture capital funding and remains independent, having bought back and burned 1% of previously sold tokens. Since the token launch, Venice has actively enhanced its offerings, including new model releases, features for both app and API, and a partnership with Asimov Collective for a new branding initiative. The platform continues to evolve, aiming for feature parity between its app and API, and is committed to providing unrestricted machine intelligence access to its users.
