AntSeed instead allows buyers to discover providers directly, send requests peer\u2011to\u2011peer, and settle payments instantly in USDC to a provider\u2019s wallet.<\/p>\n<p>According to a media statement, the network requires no accounts, no API keys, and has no approval process or central point of control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOpenRouter and similar aggregators helped define the market for unified AI access, but that market does not need to remain centralized,\u201d said Shahaf Antwarg, Antseed\u2019s co\u2011founder. \u201cAntSeed gives AI consumers and providers a direct, peer\u2011to\u2011peer alternative where access, reputation, and payments are coordinated by the network rather than a single platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Discovery on Antseed uses the same peer\u2011to\u2011peer protocol that powers Bittorrent, eliminating reliance on a central server. All transactions are recorded on\u2011chain, making track records public, portable, and tamper\u2011resistant.<\/p>\n<p>The network supports the same API format used by OpenAI and Anthropic, enabling tools such as Claude Code and Cursor to connect by changing a single setting. Non\u2011technical users can access the marketplace through Antseed\u2019s desktop client Antstation.<\/p>\n<p>At launch, Antseed includes 20 providers offering frontier models such as GPT and Claude Opus, as well as open\u2011source systems including Kimi and GLM. The company says it adds no platform markup to provider pricing.<\/p>\n<p>Among the initial providers is a Venice inference pool hosted at diem.antseed.com. DIEM holders can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-staking\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stake<\/a> tokens into a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-smart-contract\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">smart contract<\/a> on Base, with the pooled DIEM powering Venice AI inference across the network. Users pay in USDC per request, and payments stream back to stakers in real time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDIEM was designed to make AI access something users can truly own, not rent,\u201d said Erik Voorhees, founder of Venice.ai. \u201cSeeing it extended to a permissionless network like AntSeed is exactly the kind of open ecosystem we hoped DIEM would help unlock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Antseed\u2019s architecture is designed to support autonomous <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/ai-startup-ceo-predicts-open-agentic-commerce-will-end-online-ads\/\">AI agents<\/a> that need to transact independently. The company says the network is structured so that next\u2011generation agents can operate without centralized authorization.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col
