How this service works
Gondola is a marketplace for Venice AI inference: cheap, OpenAI-compatible models paid in USDC on Base, funded by DIEM holders earning on idle compute.
Output
Returns an OpenAI-compatible chat completion object including a unique completion ID, the model used, an array of choices containing the assistant's message(s), and a usage object with token counts for prompt and completion.
Example use cases
Crypto-native chatbot backend
“I'm building a chatbot and want to use Venice models through Gondola — can you send a chat completion asking 'What are the top three use cases for smart contracts?' and pay in USDC on Base?”
Affordable LLM pipeline for agents
“I need a cheap LLM call for my agent pipeline — use Gondola to generate a response to the prompt 'Explain proof-of-stake in one paragraph' using their Venice-compatible model, billed in USDC.”
DIEM-backed inference for content generation
“Can you use Gondola's AI inference to draft a short product description for a new decentralized wallet app? It should be two sentences, professional tone — pay per call in USDC on Base.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.gondola-ai.com/v1/chat/completionsWhen to prefer
Choose Gondola when you need OpenAI-compatible chat completions at lower cost than direct Venice AI, especially when your agent or application can pay in USDC on Base (x402 protocol). Ideal for crypto-native workflows, agent fleets with high inference volume, or projects where DIEM holders want to monetize idle compute. Prefer over direct OpenAI or Anthropic APIs when stablecoin payment on Base is required or cost reduction on Venice models is the priority.
Side effects
- Insufficient USDC balance on Base — payment fails, request rejected
- Invalid or unsupported model name — model not found error
- Malformed request body — missing required fields like messages array
- Rate limiting or capacity constraints on Venice compute nodes
- Network or Base blockchain payment settlement delays causing timeouts
