Currently, based on observations, there are three crypto-related providers in OpenRouter:
1. **VVV**: Privacy + large models. Venice provides large model interfaces externally. Whether it’s the previously hyped Lobster OpenClaw, the unicorn OpenRouter, or Coinbase offering large model services through x402, Venice is involved. Of course, Venice is doing a lot more, but we won’t go into all the details here.
2. **PHA**: Focused on TEE in the crypto space, providing a trusted runtime environment for various AI and agent infrastructures. It’s also integrated with x402 and offers large model interface services externally.
3. **IO**: Specializes in GPU leasing in the crypto space. It was very popular before, but after launch, it hasn’t gained much traction. Let’s see if spillover funds from traditional AI will pay attention to it.
All three provide large model interface services externally and act as providers in OpenRouter. If you’re planning to speculate on this trend in the future, keep an eye on them.
