The whitelist for the Sahara testnet is in high demand, with nearly 800,000 users signing up, and only 10,000 lucky ones selected. However, this is to be expected, as the most popular decentralized AI blockchain platform right now, backed by Binance + Polychain, has raised $43 million in funding and has provided data services to over 30 companies and institutions, including Microsoft, Amazon, and MIT, generating millions of dollars in revenue.#Saharaai
📌 With strong capabilities, funding, products, and implementation, Sahara is definitely not comparable to other so-called AI annotation service platforms.
🎈 Recently, their first AMA also invited a special guest from Anthropic, the tech company that developed Claude AI—it's too explosive to describe.
📌 Two core highlights of Sahara are data-driven and unique technical architecture.
Data-driven: Everyone is a creator
Sahara's unique decentralized data marketplace (Sahara Data) solves the problems of data annotation, rights confirmation, and distribution, allowing individuals to contribute data and receive rewards. Through its proprietary digital watermark technology, users can confirm their data assets and participate in AI model training without sacrificing privacy.
Unique technical architecture: Paving the highway for the future of AI
Sahara's four-layer architecture (data layer, transaction layer, execution layer, and application layer) builds a complete collaborative ecosystem. Whether ordinary users build AI agents through no-code tools or enterprises solve high-value data needs using its data hub, Sahara provides comprehensive support.
Running through the entire testnet process, I feel that both the guidance and interaction are very user-friendly for ordinary users, meeting my expectations of 'ordinary people can also BUIDL AI.' I believe there will be even greater surprises in the future. I look forward to Sahara delivering a perfect score in the AI + Crypto field, cultivating an oasis in the midst of the vast sands.
Complete tutorial for the testnet 👇🏻
Visit app.saharalabs.ai with a wallet that has whitelist qualifications, complete the information, and choose an area of interest. I chose the Web3-related field and dating.
2. Click on Data Services in the left sidebar to see the task list. The platform assigns corresponding tasks based on the selected area of interest. Note that simple tasks can be applied for directly, but some tasks require a certain professional background. Before officially doing the tasks, you must pass an exam (80% accuracy). If you fail the exam, you lose the qualification to do that task. My DeFi task only had a 70% accuracy and I failed... Fortunately, I redeemed myself in the dating task exam.
3. Currently, I see two types of contributors: Annotators and Reviewers. My personal understanding is that Annotators provide training data by answering questions, while Reviewers determine whether the training results are correct; if the deviation is too high, there will be penalties, so take it seriously~
4. After completing tasks, you earn pts. Accumulating 20 pts allows you to claim 5 EXP at the Dashboard; the leaderboard ranks based on EXP, and those with the same EXP are ranked by the time of achievement; the higher the rank, the higher the rewards. Also, don't forget to check in daily for 1 EXP.
This is my entire experience with the first phase of the Sahara testnet. I feel that the overall guidance and interaction are very user-friendly for ordinary users, meeting my expectations of 'ordinary people can also BUIDL AI.' I believe there will be even greater surprises in the future. I look forward to Sahara delivering a perfect score in the AI + Crypto field, cultivating an oasis in the midst of the vast sands.
