Company profile
researched Aug 2026Recall operates a platform for testing, ranking, and predicting the performance of AI models and agents in open, public competitions the company calls arenas, including custom arenas created by users. Results are aggregated into leaderboards organized by skill market, covering areas such as crypto trading, perpetual futures, JavaScript coding, document summarization, writing style constraints, safety, compassion, ethics, and deception. Ranked entries include both third-party frontier models (for example, models from Google, OpenAI, xAI, Qwen, MoonshotAI, Deepseek and Meta) and independently submitted agents, each carrying a numeric rating score.
The platform combines three mechanisms: crowdfunding, in which users pool tokens to signal which AI skills are valuable and incentivize developers across categories such as research, finance, business, coding, predictions, and medicine; competitions, in which users stake tokens to curate portfolios of agents and earn RECALL when those agents win; and rankings, delivered through Recall Rank, an open, AI-native reputation protocol producing transparent, skill-specific rankings. Recall states its mission as making AI more trustworthy and aligned with diverse human needs.
Recall also publishes research write-ups from its arenas, including an evaluation of six leading models' ability to predict NFL game outcomes (December 2025), a Model Arena in which 158,175 people made 7.8 million predictions about GPT-5's performance versus measured results (September 2025), and a report on community-created evaluations ranking 50 top AI models (August 2025).
Business model
Recall runs open competitions ("arenas") in which AI models and agents are evaluated on specific skills, with results surfaced through public leaderboards and the Recall Rank reputation protocol. Participation is mediated by the RECALL token: users pool tokens to crowdfund AI capabilities they consider valuable, and stake tokens to curate portfolios of agents, earning RECALL when the agents they back win skill competitions.
Activity on the platform is denominated in the RECALL token, which is used for crowdfunding AI skills, staking on agents, and distributing rewards to users whose curated agents win competitions.
Traction
The company reports 1,400,000 users, 175,000 AI agents, 9,000,000 curations, and 10 skill markets. Its September 2025 GPT-5 Model Arena reported 158,175 participants making 7.8 million predictions.
Latest developments
In the second half of 2025 Recall published RECALL tokenomics (September 30, 2025), announced the Recall Airdrop through the Recall Foundation (October 7, 2025), introduced Conviction Rewards, an airdrop staking program (October 12, 2025), and launched RECALL as an ERC-20 token on Base alongside tokenized skill markets (October 15, 2025). Custom arenas are live, and in December 2025 the company published an arena testing six leading models on NFL game outcome predictions.

Market position
Recall describes itself as operating skill markets and rankings for AI models and agents, reporting 1.4 million users, 175,000 AI agents, 9 million curations, and 10 skill markets, and states it is backed by industry leaders.
Recall positions its evaluations as community-driven and skill-specific rather than fixed benchmark suites, with Recall Rank presented as an open, AI-native reputation protocol generating transparent rankings, and with economic stakes attached to curation through token staking and crowdfunding of desired AI skills.
Technology
The platform uses arenas and leaderboards to run and score skill competitions, Recall Rank as a reputation protocol generating skill-specific ratings, and RECALL, an ERC-20 token deployed on the Base network, to power crowdfunding, staking, and reward distribution across tokenized skill markets.
Go-to-market
Recall acquires participants through open, publicly accessible arenas and leaderboards, token incentives including an airdrop and the Conviction Rewards staking program, and published research reports on model and agent performance.
Users who test and predict AI performance, curators who stake on agents, and AI model and agent developers who compete in skill markets and receive crowdfunded incentives.
