ZetaChain to Offer Free AI Services to Users Staking ZETA

ZetaChain said June 25 that it will offer free artificial intelligence services to users who stake its native token, ZETA.

The company has introduced a feature that grants credits for access to Anuma AI to users who stake the token. The service is linked to ZetaChain's recently announced strategy for a private memory layer for AI.

Under the feature, users who stake ZETA with validators will continue to receive existing native staking rewards while also getting Anuma AI credits based on the size of their stake.

Users do not need to move tokens to another network. They can connect a wallet and verify ownership of the staking address, after which Anuma automatically calculates AI credits based on the user's staked balance on ZetaChain.

The accumulated AI credits can be used to access major AI models including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok. The service also supports image, audio and video generation, as well as AI agent functions. Users who stake ZETA above a certain threshold will also receive access to Anuma Pro, which offers higher-performance AI models and higher credit limits.

Users can access the service through a crypto wallet without signing up with an email address, registering a credit card or completing a separate subscription process.

ZetaChain said conversations and memory within Anuma are encrypted on-device. The data is not used for AI training and is designed so it cannot be linked to a specific user's identity, it added. The company said it plans to let staking users access AI services alongside their existing rewards while providing a privacy-focused environment for AI use.
