ALIENX Chain Fundamentals
ALIENX Chain is the only high-performance staking public chain driven by AI nodes. The project was jointly launched by AlienSwap, Offchain Labs and Caldera. ALIENX plays a vital role in the underlying infrastructure of blockchain by integrating blockchain decentralized nodes with AI technology to form AI Node nodes.
Financing and Team
ALIENX has currently completed two rounds of financing totaling US$17 million, with a valuation of US$200 million. The main investors include top institutions such as OKX Ventures, C²Ventures, and Next Leader Capital. The project team members come from top Internet companies such as Google and top universities such as New York University, Nanyang Technological University, and the University of Hong Kong.
AI Node
The total number of AI Nodes in ALIENX Chain is 50,000, which are deployed on Arbitrum. Participants need to purchase a license to run nodes before they can run nodes and participate in the ALIENX Chain network. The price of nodes will increase with market purchases and the increase in levels, that is, the earlier you buy, the lower the price. AI Node can participate in the observation and maintenance of ALIENX nodes. When the network is abnormal, it can issue an early warning and use backup solutions to solve it. Through AI Node, ALIENX can deeply integrate DApp with AI to bring users a higher experience.
AI Node enhances the security and intelligence of the network and achieves high performance of the blockchain network to meet the needs of large-scale applications such as NFT and blockchain games. AI Node is open to the community to run, increasing the decentralization of ALIENX. Users can obtain token incentives by purchasing and participating in the operation of AI Node.
AIX
AIX is the token of ALIENX Chain, of which nodes will be allocated 40% of the tokens within 5 years, and will also be allocated to native staking rewards, user airdrops, and gas fee revenue sharing (this function will be activated 180 days after the mainnet is launched).
The operating cost of AI Node is very low and the operation is also very simple. Ordinary cloud servers or personal computers only need to support Chrome browser to install and run it. Running the node can get 40% of the token rewards. In addition, the node trading and transfer functions will be opened in the future.
Node sales will start soon
AI Node will be sold in the near future, mainly in two rounds: whitelist and public sale. Whitelist nodes can be purchased at a lower preferential price, and nodes can be purchased using ETH or SOL.
Whitelist sales time: April 12, 18:00
Public sale time: April 14, 18:00
Node mainnet launch time: June 2024
Node price: determined by the tier, 30 tiers in total
The specific prices are as follows:
Judging from the official price, as the number of nodes sold increases, the price is also increasing. Of course, for low-level users, there are also restrictions on the purchase quantity, as follows:
1-2 gradient Each wallet can purchase a maximum of 2 nodes
3-4 gradient Each wallet can purchase a maximum of 4 nodes
5-6 gradient Each wallet can purchase up to 10 nodes
7-8 gradient Each wallet can purchase up to 20 nodes
9-10 gradient Each wallet can purchase up to 40 nodes
There is no purchase limit for the remaining gradients, which means that the earlier you buy, the more cost advantages you will have.
How to obtain node whitelist qualification
There are four main ways to obtain the AI node whitelist:
The top 1,000 vAIX users will automatically be eligible for the whitelist, and the top 5,000 users will receive a 5% discount on node purchases.
The official randomly selects 10 users to be given a free whitelist
Get the qualification by sharing the invitation code
Holders of Alienverse Genesis Pass can obtain 1 Tier 3 whitelist, and holders of 3 Alienverse Explorer Passes can obtain 1 Tier 4 whitelist
Tutorial on applying for whitelist:
Open the website and log in to the official website using Metamask
You can see the "Apply for Whitelist" link. Click it and the tweet page will pop up. Post the tweet as required and wait for the official to draw the whitelist results.
In addition, AlienX also carried out activities with OKX Wallet, mainly completing social tasks such as Twitter following and forwarding, and gave away a total of 550 AI node whitelists from April 4th to April 9th.
Node booking discount
For users who want to purchase AI Node nodes, participating in advance reservation is a good choice. Participants only need to pay 0.01ETH or 0.15SOL to lock in the purchase of nodes in advance. By superimposing reservations and whitelists, more discounts can be obtained. The main benefits of node reservations are:
Book in advance and you can get double the pre-sale bonus if you purchase nodes later
If you do not purchase or give up purchasing a node, the deposit will be 100% refunded and no additional costs will be incurred
Addresses participating in the pre-sale will be randomly assigned 500 Tier 4 and 500 Tier 5 whitelists
The reservation time is from April 4th to April 8th 24:00 (UTC+8). You need to use your own wallet to pay, and you cannot use centralized exchange payment methods. From the page, it can be seen that more than 10,000 wallets have participated in this reservation process.
To participate in the scheduled tutorial:
1. Open the node reservation website and log in using the Metamask wallet
2. We can see the AI Node reservation link on the right side of the webpage. Click “GO NOW” and use your own wallet to complete the transfer.
Since the pre-sale deposit can be 100% refunded, there is basically no cost. For users who plan to purchase nodes, it is very worthwhile. It is also recommended that users who plan to purchase nodes use pre-sale deposits to lock in discounts. Currently, more than 10,000 wallets have participated in the reservation process. It can be seen that the community is still very active in reserving nodes.
Revenue Estimation
ALIENX has received $17 million in financing from OKX and other institutions. The node income is closely related to the number of sales completed by the node. That is to say, the more the node sells, the higher the valuation of ALIENX Chain will be, and the lower the yield of a single node will be, and vice versa.
We assume that if all nodes are sold out, the project valuation can conservatively reach more than $1 billion. The total number of tokens has not been announced yet, but we know that the official will allocate 40% of the token rewards to AI nodes within 5 years, which means that the AI node rewards are a total of $400 million in AIX tokens.
Alienx has 50,000 AI nodes, which means that each node can be allocated 8,000U of token rewards, and the price of each node is between 0.1ETH and 1.86ETH. Taking into account the reservation discount, the cost is between 300-6200U. At the highest cost, there is still a certain profit from running the node, and the lowest cost can get a 26-fold return.
Assuming that the official has only completed the sale of half (25,000) of the nodes, the project's conservative valuation can reach more than US$500 million, and the node rewards are more than US$200 million. At this time, the token reward for each node is 8,000U, and the highest node price is 0.56ETH, reaching Tier 11. The minimum rate of return for operating nodes is 4.8 times.
In addition to block rewards, nodes also include Gas revenue, which will affect the value of tokens, but this part is not included in the calculation. In addition, the above data is only a conservative estimate and is a full circulation valuation. According to the development of the mechanism and ecology, the project market value is likely to be higher, so the actual income will be higher.
Summarize
ALIENX's AI nodes play a key role in blockchain infrastructure and are an important attempt at underlying innovation. AI nodes also have a large number of application scenarios in integrating DApps and blockchain games. Therefore, AI nodes have a high demand in the market.
The total number of AI nodes sold is 50,000, which can distribute more project dividends to retail participants. While making ALIENX more decentralized, it will further strengthen the security, stability and resilience of the ALIENX network. Currently, more than 10,000 wallets have participated in node reservations, which to some extent reflects the market's recognition of ALIENX!
In the future, AI will be an important driving force for the entire technology circle and the crypto market. Combined with the concept of AI, the ALIENX experience will be able to follow the most cutting-edge innovations and lead the deep integration of the entire crypto market and AI!
