We are rebuilding the foundation of AI infrastructure
The AI industry runs on promises. Compute credits, token quotas, and subscription tiers backed by nothing but server costs and venture capital. We built Vertex on a different premise — that intelligence infrastructure should be backed by something real.
Vertex is a coding AI platform where every unit of compute is collateralized by physical gold, silver, and energy commodities held in audited third-party vaults. Your access to the platform carries intrinsic value that exists independent of market sentiment.
Today, Vertex serves engineering teams across fintech, defense, infrastructure, and Web3 — organizations that cannot afford instability in their tooling or their treasury.
Team
We are engineers who got tired of building on sand
Vertex was founded by a distributed team of engineers, economists, and cryptographers who spent years watching AI companies overpromise and underdeliver. We are fully remote, operating across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. What unites us is a conviction that durable technology must be built on durable foundations — and that gold has outlasted every fiat system in history.
