How Hyperbolic Transformed My Web2 Business in Germany

Hey @Ludarep, I’m Hänsel a 30-years old Web2 dev from Berlin and I’ve got a story you need to hear.

Not long ago, I was sitting in my Kreuzberg apartment, sipping schwarzer Kaffee, feeling stuck. My small e-commerce store selling handmade German ceramics was lost in the noise. High platform fees and invasive data policies were killing my margins and my motivation.

Then I discovered @hyperbolic_labs on X.

Hyperbolic opened the door to Web3 without the usual friction. Their serverless inference platform let me integrate AI into my site using OpenAI-compatible APIs. In minutes, I had a privacy-first chatbot powered by DeepSeek latest reasoner LLM fully GDPR-compliant with zero data retention.

The results?

20% boost in engagement in one week

Lightning-fast responses powered by Hyperbolic’s infrastructure (112B tokens/month, 195K+ devs)

No blockchain experience needed, thanks to seamless Vercel sync

But the real magic?
Virtuals.
I launched a co-owned AI agent using the $VIRTUAL token, letting customers help govern and earn from it. Suddenly, my store wasn’t just a shop it became a community.

Hyperbolic helped me leap from Web2 limitations to a decentralized future secure, scalable, and creator-first. I’m all in.
