The Presearch team in its effort to further the goal of the privacy-centric, non-profiling search engine along its Frontier Intelligence concept, has announced a strategic partnership with Verdicti Ventures.

Presearch Background Story.

The current leadership acquired the legacy Presearch Global Limited assets in 2023 and formed Presearch.com LLC. The mandate was to modernize the stack, monetize it, stabilize tokenomics to ultimately drive deflation, align the platform with the realities of AI and build something durable. This according to their statements meant that a full transformation was necessary, and I could not agree more back then. Today, Presearch operates as an AI-native, decentralized intelligence platform combining:

• Hyper-private search.
• Vectorization and frontier intelligence discovery.
• Decentralized indexing.

This infrastructure now serves over 300K monthly active users and ready to scale into enterprise products to address a broad and rapidly expanding addressable market for autonomous AI agents and the associated compute while remaining privacy-first and economically sustainable.

Why use Presearch?

There are three main Unique Value Propositions (UVPs) which explain why. There are several secondary UVPs that certain users also find very attractive.

1. User control over data and privacy.
2. Payment for contributing value to the ecosystem.
3. Decentralization of the search engine ecosystem.

Presearch Rewards.

Users are rewarded for making web searches using the Presearch engine. In order to be eligible to receive the rewards, the user has to be logged in at the time of the web search. The rewards may adjust in order to act as an incentive to join the platform and benefit from the other above mentioned points. However, there are other ways to earn as well. One may run a node, of which there are a few types introduced gradually, in the context of the decentralized architecture. In order to receive rewards ones has to stake $PRE.

As a matter of fact, in December 2025 Presearch auctioned the first NFTs acting as licenses to run nodes, but also as identification to receive rewards. This solves a number of issues relating to technical aspects of implementing nodes which I am not delving into right now. NFTs also introduce a lot of flexibility into future initiatives which can be numerous according to the evolution of the platform. I had also put a similar idea on the table a few years ago for another project, however it was not approved by the leading team back then.

Advertising & Keyword Staking.

Keyword Staking is a revolutionary new concept pioneered by Presearch as it builds the world’s first decentralized search engine ecosystem. Keyword Staking enables token holders to commit or “stake” their $PRE against specific words and multi-word terms. With Presearch Keyword Staking you choose a keyword (e.g., Bitcoin) and then stake $PRE that you have purchased or earned against that term. You can then create an ad that you link to the website of your choice.

Presearch ads using the staked terms are simple text ads that show up next to the search results in the Presearch Engine. The stake of a keyword is being reduced on a daily basis according to a percentage set by the platform. As long as the stake is the highest for that keyword, the ad keeps showing up in the results page. When this is no longer the case, the ad associated with the higher stake shows up or none at all in absence thereof.

Presearch’s Traction.

Presearch currently:

• processes over 10 million monthly searches,
• approximately serves 300,000 monthly active users,
• crawls, indexes and “vectorizes” hundreds of thousands of pages daily.

The decentralized network spans roughly 20,000 active nodes across crawler, seeker, and vector categories, with GPU-powered inference nodes scheduled to launch in early 2026.

"Vectorization" refers to a mathematical concept where long story short, information is represented by mathematically structured data, therefore enabling semantic web functionality which is critical for machine reading and learning applications, e.g. artificial intelligence.

The Partnership’s Purpose.

As they shift from deep build to broader deployment, execution matters. Verdicti Ventures brings focused experience across frontier AI, crypto infrastructure, DePIN, and global commercialization, precisely where Presearch is operating. Under this partnership, Verdicti Ventures will support:

• Enterprise and institutional adoption.
• International Go-To-Market initiatives.
• Strategic partnerships across AI and decentralized ecosystems.
• Capital markets positioning as Presearch enters its next growth phase.

Kevin O’Brien, Founder and CEO of Verdicti Ventures, summed it up well:

“Discover More” Campaign.

Back in October 2025 Presearch launched a campaign that marks a defining new era for the project, one where they move beyond privacy, non-profiling and earning to search as their sole differentiators. They embrace something far bigger: Discovery itself. The “Discover More” campaign is Presearch’s rallying cry for a rediscovery of the open web, an open rebellion against an internet that has been flattened, filtered, and fenced in.

Today, 90% of the internet is invisible, buried behind paywalls, suppressed by shady algorithms, and AI noise. The remaining 10% is curated by only a handful of conglomerates, while censorship, bias, and surveillance quietly shape what billions see. Search has become predictable, biased and commercialized; a place of summaries, not serendipity; of noise, not knowledge. Users are burned out and bored, tired of feeling trapped in inflated echo chambers, and human creators are buried beneath Search Engine Optimization spam.

The campaign aims to restore serendipity and meaning to the web, giving users back their privacy, advertisers a transparent and brand-safe environment, and creators the visibility they deserve.

Frontier Intelligence Architecture.

​Presearch was built to break this cycle, and now with their Frontier Intelligence architecture, they are expanding their mission from protecting privacy to unlocking discovery. By blending their proprietary, independent and decentralized index into Presearch.com, they are surfacing the internet’s unseen layers; suppressed, underrepresented, and high-value content that Big Tech ignores. From independent journalism to alternative health, from women’s voices to niche creator economies, they are giving the internet back its depth, one vertical at a time.

It all begins with their first themed index: Aliens. A playful yet powerful symbol of what has been hidden from mainstream discovery. Each vertical release will showcase the full potential of Frontier Intelligence, proving that differentiated search is not only more private but also more fun.
