The Grid
The Grid is a GPU-powered AI inference network, built to decentralize. GPU owners run workers, users generate AI content, and everything is powered by AIPG tokens on Base.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘- You request - Submit a prompt via aipg.art, aipg.chat, or the API
- Workers generate - GPU nodes run AI models
- You receive - Get your image, text, or other AI output
- Workers earn - GPU operators earn USDC + AIPG for their compute
What You Can Do
Generate Images
Create AI art at aipg.art using models like z-image-turbo, FLUX.2 Klein 4B, and Krea 2 Turbo. Choose from curated workflows, adjust parameters, and generate.
Coming soon: Mint your generations as NFTs with full on-chain reproducibility. Every parameter stored on the blockchain—the image can be regenerated from chain data alone.
Chat with AI
Use aipg.chat for text conversations powered by LLMs running on The Grid. Open-source models, no corporate API.
Build with the API
Get an API key at console.aipowergrid.io and integrate AI generation into your apps. View stats and usage at api.aipowergrid.io.
Run a Worker
Contribute your GPU to The Grid. Run inference (text) or media (image/video/audio) workers and earn USDC + AIPG rewards based on the work you complete.
Staking (Wind-Down)
The AIPG staking rewards program is winding down — new stakes are disabled and rewards no longer accrue. Existing stakers can withdraw anytime, with no lockup. Going forward, AIPG rewards flow to active participants (workers) rather than passive holders.
The Economy
Den (電) - Platform Credits
Den is your balance for AI generation on The Grid.
- Sign up → Get Den to start generating
- Run a worker → Accrue more Den
- Spend Den → Pay for generations
Right now we’re giving generous amounts of Den so you can explore and create freely.
AIPG Token
AIPG is the native token of AI Power Grid on Base L2.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Network | Base (Coinbase L2) |
| Supply | 150M (fixed, no inflation) |
| Contract | 0xa1c0deCaFE3E9Bf06A5F29B7015CD373a9854608 |
Get AIPG: Uniswap
AIPG is used for:
- Worker rewards → Earn for running GPU nodes
- Worker bonding → Become a trusted worker (planned, not yet required)
- Staking → Rewards program is winding down; withdrawals open
The Architecture
The Grid runs on smart contracts deployed to Base mainnet. The system is modular—new capabilities can be added without redeploying everything.
Core Components
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| ModelVault | Registry of AI models (image, video, LLMs, etc.) |
| RecipeVault | Stored workflows for reproducible generation |
| JobAnchor | On-chain verification of completed jobs |
| WorkerRegistry | Worker registration and bonding |
| StakingVault | Staking contract (rewards winding down; withdrawals open) |
Why Base?
- Fast transactions (~2 second blocks)
- Low fees (~$0.01 per tx)
- Ethereum security (L2 rollup)
- Coinbase ecosystem
