Vertical AI
Vertical AI — a reference card for a crypto project: what the product does and how verifiable the project’s key claims are; also — alignment with the Decentralized AI thesis (DecAI Fit).
Vertical AI — an AI/Tools | AI/Inference project on Ethereum, token (symbol: VERTAI).
Disclaimer
Important: this page is a reference overview of the project. Within DecAIHub, we separately record a verification based on open sources within the AI thesis (what is real AI/onchain/why a token, and which sources this is based on).
This is not financial advice and not a recommendation to buy/sell/hold any asset. We do not assess price, returns, or entry/exit timing.
Conclusions are based on publicly available materials found as of the verification date. The absence of confirmation does not imply the absence of the technology.
TL;DR (for readers who are not into AI)
- What it is: a “no‑code” platform and marketplace for using/customizing AI models and assistants (Stream/Studio/Cloud — per the documentation).
- Who it’s for: users who need ready‑made AI tools; creators/sellers of AI solutions; teams that want customization without code.
- Why onchain/token: onchain is confirmed as a token on Ethereum; the necessity of onchain for the operation of the AI service is limited (mainly token utility/ecosystem incentives).
- What you can actually touch (Tier‑1): https://www.verticalstudio.ai (website), https://docs.verticalstudio.ai/ (docs)
How it works (very briefly)
- The user does: chooses an AI tool/model in the app (Stream) or customizes it in Studio.
- The system does: runs the AI inference/pipeline (offchain) and shows the result.
- The user gets: answers/generation/tools without having to build their own ML stack.
- Where the blockchain is: the VERTAI token — ERC‑20 on Ethereum.
- Token role (if any): the ecosystem’s utility token (details — in the project documentation).

General project overview
Vertical AI (Vertical Studio) describes a product line around ready‑made AI models/assistants and “no‑code” customization. Per the documentation, there are user applications (for example, Stream) and tools for configuration/publishing.
Features/modules
- Stream: access to a set of AI models/tools in the form of an application.
- Studio: no‑code customization/assembly.
- Cloud / compute: the infrastructure layer (per the positioning).
Typical scenarios
- Scenario 1: a user chooses a model/tool in Stream → receives an answer/generation.
- Scenario 2: a creator configures an AI solution in Studio → publishes/uses it within the team.
Getting started (wallet/network)
- What you need: an account/access to the app; an Ethereum wallet — for operations with the token.
- Network/chain: Ethereum mainnet (token).
- Fees: Ethereum gas for onchain operations.
Architecture/tech (non‑AI)
- Components: web applications + offchain inference/infrastructure; onchain — the token.
- Where logic runs: the AI part — offchain; onchain — the token and its accounting.
Token/economics (expanded, no forecasts)
- Token utility: the use of the token in the ecosystem is claimed (access/discounts/incentives).
- Issuance: fixed supply 100,000,000 VERTAI (per Etherscan).
AI component of the project
- What is real AI here? an AI service: access to AI models/tools and their use in applications (Stream/Studio).
- What is truly onchain? the VERTAI token (ERC‑20).
- Why is a token needed? the ecosystem’s utility token (per the documentation).
- Red flags (based on the information found): the onchain necessity for the AI service is limited; the token utility should be double‑checked in practice (what actually works without the token).
