On December 18, 2024, Sahara AI announced the launch of the first phase of the data platform Beta version test network, which attracted more than 780,000 users to sign up, of which more than 10,000 candidates were the first to obtain participation qualifications, becoming one of the hottest projects in the Web3 + AI field. Through the test network, ordinary users can not only contribute to the AI ecosystem through data collection, optimization and labeling tasks, but also receive generous rewards and participate in building the world's first decentralized AI collaboration platform.
Breakthrough testnet: Using blockchain to empower AI annotation
As Binance founder CZ once mentioned, "AI data annotation combined with blockchain has natural advantages - low cost, no geographical restrictions, and support for instant cryptocurrency payments." Sahara AI tokenizes annotation tasks and connects developers and ordinary users through its platform to make up for the limitations of traditional AI development that is too centralized. Sahara AI co-founder and COO Tyler Zhou (former investment director of Binance Labs) said: "Sahara AI is building an AI ecosystem that everyone can participate in. Whether you are a developer, data contributor or ordinary user, you can get fair returns through your contributions, and better explore the value of different AI assets through blockchain and decentralized finance."
In the initial tests, participants can choose from high-value data tasks across multiple fields, including the creator economy, finance, and science. After completing tasks, the platform will reward users based on their contribution, accuracy, and consistency, with leaderboards to encourage outstanding performers. All rewards are issued in the form of points, laying the foundation for subsequent token distribution within the ecosystem.
Sean Ren, CEO of Sahara AI, AI professor at the University of Southern California, and chair of the Viterbi Center, stated: 'Our goal is to build a fair and inclusive AI ecosystem where anyone can become a part of the AI revolution through Sahara AI. In the future, AI model developers can access high-quality data, models, and development tools through the platform, significantly lowering the barriers to AI development.'
The launch of the test network is the first phase of the development of the Sahara AI ecosystem. Subsequently, Sahara AI will introduce more features, including an AI data marketplace and model center, further promoting the tradability, traceability, and decentralized collaboration model of AI assets.
