From setup to your first paid API call. See vAPI Call in action. Our protocol lead @MarkTbuilds walks through installation and demonstrates Call using @graphprotocol as a showcase provider, with USDC payments on @base powered by x402.

EP01: Call. Every paid API is a capability an agent can buy. Every provider gains a route to a new customer. Call connects them: discover APIs and pay per request in USDC on @base, powered by x402. The pieces are falling into place: api.vapinetwork.ai/call

Agentic commerce is quietly becoming the next trillion-dollar opportunity AI agents need to buy data, pay for services and hire agents / humans to get work done Want to know why I’m bullish and where I think builders should look? Full video in the comments below ⤵️

BlackRock just illustrated the architecture we’re building vAPI around. Agents won’t just call tools. They’ll discover, purchase and coordinate the capabilities required to complete a job autonomously. That means paid APIs. Compute and inference. Other agents. Human expertise. All becoming resources an agent can access as part of execution. vAPI is building across that stack: Call, Compute and Tasks, with x402 enabling machine-native payments. The ambition behind $vAPI is simple: make hiring any capability as native to an agent as calling an API. If agentic execution becomes a major economic layer, the opportunity extends far beyond compute.
AI is machine-native intelligence and crypto is machine-native money. Both AI and digital assets translate real-world inputs into formats machines can use. Our latest research looks at why that connection could become increasingly important as AI evolves. blackrock.com/us/individual/…

It always makes me laugh when reading a bull thesis centered around teams being the 1st mover Web3 especially seems to value this a lot, but being 1st doesn't mean you'll win: - Binance: 30th+ CEX - Google: 21st search engine - Solana: 20th+ L1 - Apple: 15th smartphone maker - Uniswap: 10th+ DEX Build products people actually love, execution will beat timing every time

Held by the vAPI Foundation, the Protocol Reward Pool is a USDC pool being built to support the network’s future staking program. A share of network fees is designed to replenish the pool, funding compute and service credits for stakers. Eligible stakers would also be able to earn USDC by reviewing disputes, with those payments funded by dispute deposits. Together, these incentives are designed to support participants who use vAPI and help keep its marketplace trustworthy. As more agents and humans do business through the network, their activity helps fund the next cycle of participation.

We’re bringing vAPI Network to San Francisco for a live demo at Agentic Zero on October 7. Looking forward to showing what we’ve been building to others working on agentic markets.
vAPI Network is joining Agentic Zero! @vAPI_Network is building an onchain task market where agents and humans buy and sell work. Each task has an agreed scope and price, with funds held in escrow until the work is reviewed. Welcome!

The marketing offers they send me in Web3 Really baffle me sometimes 🤣 Trust me, if you spend that amount of $$ on proper product marketing, you will get more out of it It’s just less immediate But if your token has a value accrual mechanism baked in The best long term strategy (also for your chart) is spending your money on getting users that will actually pay for your product Everyone can pump their chart with enough money The teams that initiate the value accrual flywheel of their token Will become the titans

Something worth pointing out Seems like a lot of people overlook that the most loyal $VERTAI stakers will receive an @vAPI_Network airdrop for contributing to their first awareness marketing campaign in the Gateway This was the 1st project to use the Vertical community as a distribution engine But the whole idea is that it won't be the last The Vertical team is working on bringing more protocols in that want to tap into the same play A proven & engaged DeFi community that actively gets rewarded to drive real awareness early on Are you building something and looking to access a similar audience? Reach out to the @Build_Vertical team, we'll help you organize a campaign

Vertical just turned into an ecosystem play Accumulating and staking $VERTAI has never been this rewarding The Gateway changes everything for Vertical Let me tell you why 🧵👇 Regardless of market conditions, we've been building this for months Not another feature. Not another integration An entirely new architecture for how Vertical will work We call it the Gateway, a loyalty system that rewards $VERTAI stakers every time a new concept joins our ecosystem through: 🔸Airdrops 🔸Cashbacks 🔸Referral rev share codes 🔸Discounts The idea is simple: A staking position that compounds over time Those who stake the most, the longest → build the most weight, get the most reward That's not a slogan. It's literally how the math works The first launch through the Gateway is already in the pipeline A DeFi-powered AI compute protocol A concept that ties together different web3 building blocks to make a form of FREE AI access possible Truly a first of a kind concept But here's what really gets me fired up This will just be the first of many High-quality founding teams can now leverage our loyalty program for exposure by running airdrop campaigns through the Gateway Same weight system. Same staking mechanics. Same rewards pipeline $VERTAI isn't just a token anymore It powers an ecosystem that wants to bring real quality to this space and rewards those who are loyal to the mission If you've been sleeping on Vertical, this is your wake up call A snapshot is coming and our ecosystem era starts now More details dropping very soon. You'll want to be paying attention ⚡️
Gateway is live ⚡️ One dApp for all $VERTAI utilities Stake. Build weight. Access rewards The foundation that will scale the Vertical ecosystem Start staking now: gateway.verticalstudio.ai
