Hey Presearch community,
Big news from the Node Network: we're launching Series IV, and it's a new kind of node.
75 AI-Seek Node Licenses are hitting auction, bringing GPU-powered infrastructure into Presearch's AI search stack for the first time.
Why this matters
We spent the last stretch cleaning up the index, building an AI model to identify and remove the low-quality, mass-produced content flooding search rankings. That work is done. But it also showed us something: our CPU-based C-Seek nodes can't keep up with what AI search needs next.
AI-Seek nodes solve that. They run context-understanding models at scale, so a search like "Are we alone?" gets read the way you meant it, "Are we alone in the universe?", without tracking you or storing your history to get there.
The momentum so far…
This is our fourth auction, and the network keeps growing:
Genesis (Dec 2025): 142 licenses, sold out in under 24 hours, every one clearing above 2x reserve
Series II (Feb 2026): sold out, 418 total licenses placed, over 2x the PRE pulled from circulation vs. Genesis
Series III: 200 Vector Nodes, our biggest deflationary event yet, 15.7M+ PRE removed from circulation
Three for three, sold out. And with AI-Seek, the network gets the GPU layer it's been missing.

Running a C-Seek node?
We're retiring C-Seek now that AI-Seek takes over its role. So we built a trade-in: 45,000 PRE rebate toward AI-Seek (or save it for a future Vector or Crawler auction). Your C-Seek NFT gets burned on redemption, and the credit never expires.
