Do we get $VERTAI if we deploy our own model and people use it? How does monetisation (for users) works? Sorry for noob question, I'm new to this whole concept
# Why did we build Vertical Studio? AI model customization is broken. It's expensive, slow and way too technical, leaving it only to a select few. We aim to break this barrier by simplifying the process and making it cheaper. With **Vertical Studio**, anyone can: ✅ Have a conversation with our own AI, that will guide you through the process and establishes your goals ✅ Import different format files (csv, json, txt) and let our Dataset Creation Agent structure it automatically ✅ Adjust model behavior using a adjustable system prompt ✅ Train a fully functional AI model in minutes ✅ Deploy it via API or list it on our AI model marketplace: Vertical Stream This isn’t a wrapper around OpenAI, it’s **real model customization (LoRA)**, running on a decentralized compute. # We’re Powered by Real Token Utility The **$VERTAI token** powers the entire platform: * 15% discount on credits when paying with $VERTAI * Lock tokens to unlock affiliate revenue tiers (5–20%) * 10% of profits earned by $VERTAI are burned every quarter * Fully MiCAR-ready (ESMA-registered) * \+ a massive **unreleased** staking utility coming soon 👀 **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 $VERTAI demand = more value locked in the token economy
*From the Vertical Team-* Hi everyone, I’m Mark, founder and CEO of **Vertical AI**. We're building the *first* no-code platform that lets anyone build, customize, and monetize AI models using decentralized compute and our native token, **$VERTAI**. Check out what we're working on:[ ](https://www.verticalstudio.ai/)[www.verticalstudio.ai/studio](http://www.verticalstudio.ai/studio) For this AMA, we’re here to answer questions about: * Our 3 core products (Stream, Studio, Cloud) * How Vertical Studio works (fine-tuning AI without code) * Our newly released roadmap * Any other questions related to our mission of making AI accessible to everyone * How our custom token economy that links company growth to token growth works * **BONUS:** Receive 1,000 $VERTAI tokens (top 3 answers) - Pitch your use-case * What would you build using fine-tuning technology, and what is holding you back right now? **AMA date**: October 29th **Questions open**: October 27th **Top 5 questions win:** 1 month free access to 40+ AI models (incl. Veo3.1, Sora 2, Kling) **Top 3 answers to BONUS question win:** 1000 $VERTAI # What is Vertical AI? Vertical is the first no-code platform for creating, customizing 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 create value with AI, not just extract it.

1. Sure. We have 3 main utilities, combined with a burn mechanism, which can be found here:[ https://docs.verticalstudio.ai/vertai-token/token-utility](https://docs.verticalstudio.ai/vertai-token/token-utility) These utilities drive a compounding value loop, which I explain here as well (https://x.com/VerticalAI\_Mark/status/1951199292628025599): * More users → more demand for $VERTAI * More demand → more burn and higher TVL * That builds a stronger economy, deeper liquidity, and a bigger budget to acquire more users. More users → more $VERTAI demand → more burns & higher TVL → stronger token economy → deeper liquidity → more budget to acquire users. This loop compounds. The most bullish thing Vertical can do now is grow its user base and expose more people to it. 2. Studio is still in Beta, launching publicly in under 2 months. Right now, 30+ beta testers are using it, incl small businesses, law firms, and researchers. Can’t name them due to privacy, but they reflect the wide range of practical use cases we’re seeing already.
We’re live on ETH via Uniswap and on AVAX via Blackhole DEX. We’re currently working on CEX listings to improve availability of the $VERTAI token for our users.
No substantial revenue or burns yet. We ran on a free adoption model since launching our V1, and only activated the payment wall last Monday. Within 4 days we’re already nearing 100 paid subs. Next week, we’ll kickstart our user acquisition campaign to scale faster. Our target is 100k registered users before EOY. If 15% convert, we’re looking at over $3.5M ARR in Q4 2025. 10% of $VERTAI profits will be burned quarterly.
You’re talking about decreasing supply, can you tell us more about VERTAI tokenomics? What type of creators and startups have been working with Vertical Studios the most?
AI coins under $100 mc. SERV, VERTAI and DEAI. They’ve been easy money this cycle and held up well.
TAI, PIN and VERTAI. Thank me later
