Hi everyone,I’m Mark, founder and CEO of Vertical AI. We're building the no-code platform that lets anyone build, customize, and monetize AI models using decentralized compute and our native token, $VERTAI.

Check out what we're working on: www.verticalstudio.ai

We're here for an AMA to answer your questions about:

• No-code AI customization and fine-tuning
• Our token utility and value model
• How we utilize decentralized compute
• How we connect Web2 and Web3 with AI

AMA date: August 1&2

Questions open: July 31

Top 5 questions win: 1 month free access to 40+ AI models (incl. Veo3, Kling) app.verticalstudio.ai/stream

What is Vertical AI?

Vertical is the first no-code platform for creating, fine-tuning, and monetizing AI models that runs on decentralized GPU infrastructure.

We combine three core products into one powerful ecosystem:

• Vertical Studio - Customize your own AI models without writing code
• Vertical Stream - Access 40+ top-tier models (incl. custom ones) from one account
• Vertical Cloud - A first of a kind orchestration layer that runs on decentralized networks and makes AI training 45% cheaper

We built this for creators, startups, and developers who want to build with AI, not just use it.

Our tools are live, revenue is flowing, and we’ve already proven product-market fit.

Real Token Utility

The $VERTAI token powers everything across the platform. We’ve built a model focused on value creation > speculation:

• 15% discount when paying with $VERTAI
• Stake tokens → receive platform usage credits
• Affiliate tiers → lock tokens & earn up to 20% revenue share
• 10% of profits in $VERTAI used to burn tokens quarterly (up to 25M supply)
• Fully MiCAR-compliant

--------------

The Value Accrual Flywheel

We’ve built what we call the “Holy Grail” of Web3 utility. Here’s how the flywheel works:

• Platform grows → more users encounter our payment wall
• Paying with $VERTAI is the cheapest way → token demand increases

• 10% of profits used to burn tokens → decreasing supply

• + Staking & our Affiliate program increases TVL → decreasing sellable supply

In short: more users = more $VERTAI demand = more value locked in the token economy

Where We're Headed

AI should not be limited to Big Tech or backend developers. It should be open, customizable, and economically rewarding for everyone. That's why we are building the Vertical platform.

We’ve already passed:

• 32,000 registered users
• 500,000 prompts generated
• Real, recurring revenue

We’re aiming for 100,000 users before the EOY. $VERTAI is the growth engine behind that target.
