Texel

Texel Support is live on every page of Texel, free for every visitor. → Docs: ask anything about Texel, and the answer comes from the live docs with the page to read next → Your wallet: once connected, Support reads your credits, instances, and outputs for you → Tickets: one message opens a ticket with the Texel team → Your keys: it never asks for a seed phrase or a private key Answers stream in word by word, written by our fine-tune of Qwen3.5-9B with open weights on @huggingface.

We bought back 2.69M $TEXEL to fund Protocol Compute: the GPUs that run Texel's own AI. The path, every step onchain: → Buyback: 2,686,035 $TEXEL off the market → Move: all of it into the Protocol Compute wallet of Texel → Credits: 686.32 Texel credits bought with that $TEXEL Texel Support is the first service it pays for. Texel pays for its own GPU time the way every customer does, and as these credits get spent, the hourly burn takes their $TEXEL out of supply. That funds at least a month of Protocol Compute.

Texel Support is in public testing on texel.run, and every promise of this post is kept. It runs on Texel with credits that $TEXEL bought, and every credit it uses sends its $TEXEL to the hourly burn, which has burned 24,062 $TEXEL since Nov 11. → Model: Qwen3.5-9B, trained on a Texel A40 rental with its receipt sealed onchain → Answers: it searches the docs before every reply, and got 77.8% of our test chats right against 62.5% for its base model → Your account: sign in, and it checks your balance, rentals, outputs, and receipts → Tickets: report a bug or a complaint, and it files a ticket for the team → Weights: public on @huggingface for anyone to run → Compute: serverless on Texel, with a GPU that starts when a question comes in

Gm to everyone who keeps building while the market is down. Texel is on three builds right now: → Texel Support, the AI agent we trained on an A40 rented on texel.run → Texel Serverless, your own model on NVIDIA GPUs that drop to zero when idle → $NVDA and more Robinhood Chain tokens to pay for credits

Every receipt on Texel now sits one click from its proof onchain. → Press Receipt beside any output or rental → The Verify page matches it to Robinhood Chain in your browser → Check this hour rebuilds the whole hour and matches its root The video walks through the A40 rental that trained our support AI: 13,681 GPU seconds for 2.2422 credits, sealed at 20:02 UTC.

Texel now turns one image into a 3D asset. Drop in a picture and get it back with its textures, as a GLB you can turn in the browser and take into Blender. Each asset costs 0.03 credits and gets its own receipt onchain.

Buy with $TEXEL is now live on Texel. Pay for credits with $TEXEL in Billing and spend them on GPU rentals and AI outputs. Credits bought with $TEXEL go first, and their $TEXEL burns in the next hourly burn once you use them. 7,162.47 $TEXEL has burned so far.
