Vertical AI

Vertical is moving towards one clear goal

To become the place where founders and builders receive the support they need to launch and grow

This is the vision behind Vertical Labs ⚡️

Watch the video as @MarkTbuilds explains what the future of Vertical looks like

What Changed After the Audit?

An audit covers a defined scope and code version. Before accepting capital, teams should make four things clear:

◻️ Scope: what was reviewed, what was excluded, and where to read the report

◻️ Changes: how deployed code differs from the audited version and whether those changes were reviewed

◻️ Control: who can upgrade contracts, pause withdrawals or move funds, and under what conditions

◻️ Findings: which issues remain open, which fixes were verified, and which risks were accepted

At Vertical Labs, we believe material changes to code, configuration or permissions should trigger reassessment and updated disclosure

Vertical AMA Recap

◻️ Vertical Labs Secures $300K in Funding

Vertical Labs has officially raised $300,000 to support its broader mission and accelerate the development of its ecosystem

The funding will help expand its activities across incubation, ventures, and the services it provides to Web3 projects

◻️ Institutional Interest in Agentic Finance

Hong Kong Fintech Week highlighted increasing institutional attention toward blockchain, digital assets, stablecoins, and agentic finance

Mark noted a growing consensus around stablecoins becoming the preferred payment method for permissionless transactions between AI agents

◻️ AI Agents & Human Labour

Vertical's thesis extends beyond AI infrastructure, data, and compute to the role humans will play in an agent-driven economy

Mark believes that within five years, AI agents could become the world's largest employers of human labour by hiring people to complete tasks they cannot perform themselves

◻️ vAPI User Acquisition Campaign Goes Live

The vAPI Network's latest user acquisition campaign has officially launched, featuring an airdrop allocation of approximately 1 million vAPI tokens

The campaign is part of Vertical Labs' broader incubation and distribution strategy, with the Gateway playing a central role in helping projects reach users

◻️ VERTAI Token Relaunch

The team is preparing to migrate the existing $VERTAI token through a burn-and-mint mechanism as the current liquidity pool approaches its unlock

The relaunch will incorporate updated technology and security measures, including smart contract audits, before the migration proceeds
