Venice brings its VVV token to Solana through Sunrise
Erik Voorhees' privacy-focused AI platform extends its Base-native token to Solana wallets and DEXs with a canonical mint and day-one liquidity
Venice’s VVV token now lives on Solana as well as Base. The privacy-focused AI platform founded by Erik Voorhees has listed a canonical version of VVV on Solana through Sunrise, an asset gateway run by a subsidiary of Wormhole Labs.
The move was confirmed on October 6, 2026. It means Solana users can trade VVV in the wallets and decentralized exchanges they already use, without bridging it over themselves.
What actually launched
The Solana version of VVV has a single canonical mint address: VVV4UdRywr7SLafPHzqXwRCw7myXkmgCtitXUvj8g8c.
Sunrise handled the coordination so that liquidity was available immediately at launch. Solana trading venues such as Raydium are among the places where VVV can now change hands.
The token behind the listing
VVV first launched on January 27, 2025, as an ERC-20 token on Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network. Its total supply is 100 million tokens.
As of early October 2026, approximately 48.5 million VVV were in circulation.
Staking VVV gives holders access to AI inference capacity on Venice. Stakers can also mint DIEM credits.

Emissions cut and buy-and-burn
Venice also announced a reduction in VVV’s annual emissions, from 2.5 million tokens to 2 million, effective October 1, 2026.
The company has paired that with revenue-backed buy-and-burn mechanisms. Venice uses income to purchase VVV and remove it from circulation permanently.
The business numbers
Venice reportedly hit a $100 million annualized revenue run rate as of August 2026.
The company also reportedly closed a $65 million Series A in July 2026 at a valuation of $1 billion.
Voorhees, best known as the founder of ShapeShift, built Venice around privacy. The platform positions itself as an alternative to AI services that store and mine user conversations.
What this means for holders and traders
For Solana traders, the canonical mint is the key safety detail. Anyone buying VVV on Solana should verify that address, since copycat tokens with familiar tickers are a recurring hazard on any chain with permissionless token creation.
With approximately 48.5 million of 100 million tokens circulating, a large share of supply has yet to enter the market, and future unlocks or issuance could offset some of the buy-and-burn effect.
