VVV · emissions stepping down toward a burn-led model.
VVV is the token of Venice.ai, a private-AI inference platform on Base — uncapped supply, ~46.8M circulating, staking-yield emission with a revenue buy-and-burn.
Sell pressure. New VVV is minted as staking yield on a falling schedule — 4M VVV / yr now, dropping to 3M / yr on Jul 1 2026 — about 0.78M VVV / 90D.
Buy pressure. Subscription and API revenue buys and burns VVV — about 0.05M VVV / 90D at the recent run-rate, with cumulative burns near 33.8M VVV.
Net. Mild inflation that is shrinking by design — new supply to market is ~+1.6% over 90 days, with the path bending toward net deflation as emissions fall and burns rise.

New VVV is minted as staking yield and paid to stakers. The annual emission rate steps down on a published path — 4M VVV per year now, dropping to 3M per year on Jul 1 2026 — so about 0.78M VVV is created over the next 90 days, down sharply from the trailing window.
No vesting cliffs — the token is fully unlocked, with airdrop, team and treasury allocations already released. No cliff falls in the window.
The Venice company treasury (~35M genesis allocation, already unlocked and partly liquidity-deployed) is the one identified overhang, but no discretionary outflow event has been observed in the trailing year. Monitored.
No bankruptcy estate distributes VVV.
Venice spends subscription and API revenue to buy VVV on-chain and send it to the burn address — both a per-subscription burn and a discretionary monthly buyback. About 0.05M VVV is bought and burned over 90 days at the recent run-rate; cumulative burned now sits near 33.8M VVV.
There is no separate base-fee burn — the buy-and-burn in row 1 is the only mechanism that removes VVV.
Venice funds the buy-and-burn (booked in row 1); there is no separate treasury accumulation programme.
Staking VVV for yield and compute access locks a large share of supply, but staking is demand-side holder behaviour, not a protocol-enforced lock with an announced quantum — monitored, not booked.
