In partnership with
Hey Presearch community,
We're excited to announce the Series IV Node Auction, introducing 75 AI-Seek NFT Node Licenses and bringing decentralized GPU infrastructure into Presearch's AI search stack.
Why AI-Seek?
Over the past year, AI has flooded the web with low-quality content designed to manipulate search rankings. To address this, we temporarily paused our independent index while we built an AI system capable of identifying and removing that content.
That work is now complete.
It also made one thing clear: the CPU-powered C-Seek nodes that helped power search can't keep up with the demands of modern AI search. The future requires GPU-powered infrastructure capable of running advanced context-understanding models at scale.
That's exactly what AI-Seek nodes are built for.
Built on Strong Momentum
The Series IV NFT Node Auction builds on the decentralized infrastructure our community has already created.
Since December 2025, we've completed three consecutive sold-out NFT Node License auctions, placing 618 NFT Node Licenses into the network and removing more than 30 million PRE from circulation.
Those auctions expanded our decentralized infrastructure through Crawler, Vector, and C-Seek nodes. AI-Seek now becomes the newest layer in Presearch's Node Orchestration network, providing the GPU compute needed to power the next generation of AI search.
C-Seek Trade-In Program
As AI-Seek nodes replace the role previously handled by C-Seek nodes, we're introducing a trade-in program for existing C-Seek operators.
Eligible C-Seek holders will receive:
45,000 PRE rebate toward an AI-Seek Node License
A perpetual trade-in program that can also be used toward future Vector or Crawler node auctions
Redeemed C-Seek Node NFTs will be permanently burned

How to Participate
Create a Presearch account.
Deposit PRE into your Presearch wallet before bidding begins.
Visit Account → Tokens → NFT Auctions when the auction opens.
Place your bid. The highest bidders at the close of the auction receive AI-Seek Node Licenses.
Winners will receive instructions for claiming their NFT node license and Node Key via the email associated with their Presearch account.
Every AI-Seek Node License represents more than ownership, it grants the right to operate a critical piece of Presearch's decentralized Node Orchestration Layer, helping power Indee, our independent search index, and the future of private AI search.

Own AI deployment, grow your career
Making AI actually work day to day is becoming its own job.
On July 16, hear from three people doing it: Simone Santiago Broad (Yoco), Yelva Espinoza (Zumba Fitness), and Fin's Dave Lynch. They'll share what the role really looks like, how it came to exist, the skills worth hiring for, and the challenges they're tackling right now. Bring your questions, since the best moments happen live.
