I’ll be talking about interesting AI projects on Base over the next couple of weeks
This week I’m taking a look at
$SURPLUS, built by
@mac_eth. A good one.
Most AI infrastructure is still centralized. You pay what they charge, access what they allow, and trust they’re not watching.
@AskSurplus is building the alternative on
@base.
A live P2P inference marketplace with an open orderbook. Buyers get auto-routed to the cheapest available provider for any model. Payments settle instantly in USDC. No account required.
- 20 providers live
- Zero platform markup
- Instant USDC payouts
- Agents can transact independently without centralized authorization
$DIEM is a perpetual onchain asset. Stake it, unlock $1 of daily AI compute credit per token. Resets daily, never expires.
Surplus Intelligence is that open market on Base. Worth watching.
