The Grid
The Grid is a decentralized AI inference network. 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 - Decentralized GPU nodes run AI models
- You receive - Get your image, text, or other AI output
- Workers earn - GPU operators earn AIPG for their compute
What You Can Do
Generate Images
Create AI art at aipg.art (opens in a new tab) using models like Flux, SDXL, and Stable Diffusion. Choose from thousands of 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 (opens in a new tab) for text conversations powered by LLMs running on The Grid. Open-source models, no corporate API, decentralized inference.
Build with the API
Get an API key at dashboard.aipowergrid.io (opens in a new tab) and integrate AI generation into your apps. View stats and usage at api.aipowergrid.io (opens in a new tab).
Run a Worker
Contribute your GPU to The Grid. Run inference (text) or media (image/video/audio) workers and earn AIPG rewards based on the work you complete.
Stake AIPG
Stake your AIPG tokens to earn passive rewards. No lockup period—withdraw anytime.
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 (opens in a new tab)
AIPG is used for:
- Staking → Earn rewards
- Worker bonding → Become a trusted worker
- Worker rewards → Earn for running GPU nodes
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 (Flux, SDXL, LLMs, etc.) |
| RecipeVault | Stored workflows for reproducible generation |
| JobAnchor | On-chain verification of completed jobs |
| WorkerRegistry | Worker registration and bonding |
| StakingVault | Stake AIPG, earn rewards |
Why Base?
- Fast transactions (~2 second blocks)
- Low fees (~$0.01 per tx)
- Ethereum security (L2 rollup)
- Coinbase ecosystem
