Top Narrative Sahara, creating a new AI oasis for AI narrative - Sahara AI
With the arrival of the BTC halving cycle in Q1 2024, the narrative ecosystem in the crypto industry is becoming more and more diverse and widespread; from the earliest DEFI, to Metaverse + NFT + GAMEFI, to now DeSci + AI, more and more industry narratives are emerging; with the arrival of the Q4 bull market, the MEME effect has driven a peak in crypto, reactivating the enthusiasm of old investors and attracting new participants; from Nvidia launching AI smart chips to Musk investing in AI engineering, blockchain has once again brought AI narratives into a new chapter. Is AI just a fleeting phenomenon, or is it truly achieving a transformation in artificial intelligence? Perhaps we can find a clear answer on Sahara AI!
Getting to know Sahara AI for the first time, I was quite shocked after reading the white paper and narrative. Then, seeing that the investors are Binance and Sequoia Capital caught my attention and curiosity. What kind of narrative could lead Binance to take the lead in investment?
I have contacted the brand promotion executive of the Sahara AI project multiple times, a young brother from the post-00 generation, and through his introduction, I gained a clear understanding. First of all, Sahara AI is a decentralized artificial intelligence network that allows everyone to utilize their knowledge capital to explore monetization and automation opportunities through artificial intelligence. The initially launched basic products include Sahara Knowledge Agent (KA) and Sahara Data; furthermore, their R&D team is very young, understands technology, and emphasizes ecological construction. The CEO is an AI professor from USC with rich AI resources, and the COO was previously the investment director at Binance Labs; finally, they completed a new round of financing in August, led by Binance and Sequoia Capital China, raising $43 million, and it is reported that they will conduct a Series B financing in the future. I heard that after the financing in August, the first sister also expressed confidence in the subsequent development of Sahara AI, hoping it will become a pioneer in AI, creating a DEXAI blockchain platform that is more transparent, secure, and accessible to everyone.
On December 19, Sahara AI officially launched the first phase of testing online, reportedly nearly 800,000 people applied for the whitelist, and after rigorous selection, only 10,000 people obtained whitelist participation in the internal test; the official explanation is that this move is to encourage user participation in knowledge contribution and early rewards acquisition. Currently, the internal test mainly involves daily check-ins, taking exams to pass, and then completing daily tasks to earn SP and EXP; I personally experienced this task, and it is indeed very difficult, with questions that leave one racking their brains in confusion. Answering incorrectly or randomly on 4 out of the last 7 tasks will result in a 7-day ban, requiring you to rest for 7 days before continuing to answer questions and complete tasks. From the question setting and punishment of the internal test, the project team is still very rigorous and pragmatic, not requiring too much opportunism, but rather earnest individuals who follow the community and project team to build the Sahara AI ecosystem.
That night at 9 PM, Sahara AI held an AMA with the technical staff from Anthropic, the company behind Claude, and I was fortunate to participate. The main discussion was about the planning vision for Sahara AI in 2025, technical discussions on project content, and industry research; overall, the project team is very professional, youthful, and energetic, which is why I am optimistic.
Yesterday, Sahara AI released the 2024-2025 roadmap,
The Sahara Chain mainnet will be launched in Q3 2025; in Q4 2024, the first phase of the testnet will be launched through the data service platform, which is already online; the second phase will begin in Q1 2025;
In Q1 2025, the AI market will be launched, introducing limited access to developer tools and expanding the data services platform;
In Q2 2025: Launch comprehensive tools to simplify AI development, Sahara Studio, including model training toolkits, model deployment toolkits, and model orchestration toolkits;
In Q3 2025: The Sahara Chain mainnet will be launched, providing the on-chain infrastructure needed to support large-scale decentralized AI.
Lastly, here is the operational tutorial for obtaining whitelist qualifications
Step 1: Log in to http://app.saharalabs.ai to create a personal profile
Step 2: Log in to https://faucet.saharaa.info/ to receive Gas
Step 3: https://app.saharalabs.ai/#/individualLabeler/myVault enter the interface to participate in the exam and then answer questions to earn daily EXP
If there are any unclear points, the community project team has also provided guidance: https://docs.saharalabs.ai/data-services-page, which is very thoughtful and warm.
In summary: Sahara AI is sincerely creating AI; imagine this year as the MEME year, a series of AI tokens like GOAT, ACT have deeply resonated and created wealth effects; at a time when countless crypto projects regard AI as a meme, it undoubtedly reflects a spirit of courage and innovative exploration; looking forward to Sahara delivering a satisfactory answer in the field of AI within crypto, cultivating an oasis amidst the vast sands, like the acronym Sahara Desert cultivating an AI oasis, providing a satisfactory answer for itself and the builders of the ecological community.
