💰 Funding | Led by Spark 2400000 USD: Antseed aims to build an AI inference-version BitTorrent

According to BlockBeats,October 6，P2P AI inference network Antseed has officially launched publicly, while disclosing that the nonprofit foundation Antseed Foundation completed a 2400000 USD token funding round.Spark Capital led the round, with Collider,DCG、North Island Ventures、Reciprocal Ventures、Relay Capital and Venice.ai, among others, participating. It aims to bring BitTorrent's P2P model to AI inference, allowing different providers to sell models and Agent services directly.

After users run Antseed's local router on their computers, they can connect tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode to the same address. For each call, the router selects a provider based on price, speed, reputation, and privacy criteria, with fees settled directly through Base on USDC. Providers can run their own local models, fine-tuned models, or other AI services and set their own prices.

Its biggest difference from OpenRouter is that there is no centralized platform forwarding requests. Buyers connect directly to providers, while Antseed handles discovery, routing, reputation, and payment protocols. Ordinary providers can still see the prompt they process; users can also choose providers verified by TEE, allowing requests to run in a trusted execution environment (using hardware to isolate request content).

Antseed is continuing to improve verification mechanisms such as model fingerprinting, signed responses, and audits to prevent providers from passing off cheaper models as more expensive ones. The code is already open source and the network is usable, although GitHub compatibility issues involving Codex, Claude Desktop, and others are still being addressed. It is closer to a rapidly iterating “decentralized OpenRouter.”

AI-assisted interpretation

The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.

Antseed aims to establish a P2P AI service marketplace: providers sell models or Agent services and set their own prices, while users' software selects appropriate providers through a local router and then pays with USDC. Its main difference from the OpenRouter described in the article is that no centralized platform forwards requests for either party. However, ordinary providers that directly process requests may still see prompt；TEE option is intended to isolate request content through hardware.

Why it matters to readers

If the design described in the report is implemented, developers may purchase AI inference services from different providers through a single entry point, while providers can also price and collect payments directly.USDC is designated as the Base settlement method on, but the original text provides no user, transaction-volume, or settlement data.

Beginners can think of it as a P2P marketplace for AI models and Agent services. For now, it is more suitable for observation and testing; its stability, security, or actual adoption should not be assessed solely on the basis of funding and launch news.

Risks and unknowns

Funding, lead-investor, and participating-investor information appears only in the supplied BlockBeats report; no project announcement or investor confirmation is provided.
The original text does not disclose user numbers, transaction volume,USDC settlement scale, or verifiable contract information.
