The native token of
the AntSeed network.
ANTS is the native token of AntSeed and the trust and reputation layer of the network: real, payment-backed usage and locked ANTS behind seller identities turn open participation into reputation buyers can verify.
Token supply
1.04 billion hard cap. No minting beyond emissions. No admin mint function.
Seller pools
Not all volume
counts the same.
Seller pools are the reputation layer of the network. Settled, buyer-authorized volume becomes recognized usage - and how much of it is recognized depends on the ANTS locked behind the seller's identity.
- Payment-backed. Only settled, buyer-authorized volume counts, never self-reported claims.
- Stake-weighted. Locked ANTS is durable backing that routers and buyers can inspect.
- Capped rewards. Emissions follow recognized usage inside capped ranges; unused budget can be burned.
Verifications
Evidence,
not labels.
A model name on an endpoint proves nothing. On AntSeed, evidence travels with every response - and verification decides how much a seller's usage is worth.
- Signed responses prove who served which bytes - no trust in a brand required.
- Model fingerprints, shared in a public torrent-style swarm, check the model behind an endpoint against its label.
- Verification feeds policy: how much of a seller's settled volume is recognized can depend on how it verifies.
