There are not many #AI projects that we can focus on and track in the long term, but #Sahara is one of them. It is a project we really like, and it is doing something great in the #AI field: "AI Native Blockchain Operating System." #AI + #Web3 is basically a narrative that everyone is optimistic about, but the vast majority of "AI projects" are just PPTs, lacking real products, closed-loop structures, and genuine demand.
Sahara is currently one of the few true "bottom-up redoing" AI×Web3 infrastructure projects in our #AI investment research. It not only has a strong narrative but has also produced a product, already has customers, revenue, data, and on-chain activity.
🚀 What exactly does #Sahara do?
Sahara is not a "tool for chatting with AI," but a blockchain platform that helps everyone develop, run, and trade #AI applications.
Simply put, it is:
• A toolbox for developers (developing + deploying AI)
• A data monetization platform for users (labeling data → earning)
• A trading market for AI models (trading AI assets like #OpenSea)
It builds a complete closed-loop system for "AI asset on-chain," where everything from data, models, invocation, validation to incentive distribution can be completed on-chain, making it a full-stack platform, which is unique in the current #AI market.
🧠 The three major product matrices of #Sahara, each of which is a game changer (already launched or in testing):
1️⃣ Data Service Platform (DSP)
• Users participate in data labeling, writing prompts → earn on-chain rewards
• The existing project Myshell on BNB Chain is using it for data labeling
• Up to millions of users are queueing to apply for the whitelist
2️⃣ #AI Development Platform
• Provides API, SDK, no-code tools → even if you are not a programmer, you can launch AI products
• Creates a complete process for developers from model building → deployment → distribution
3️⃣ #AI Asset Trading Market (coming soon)
• Models, datasets, and agents can be registered on-chain → market trading → authorized invocation to earn revenue
• Turns AI components into tradable on-chain assets, creating a decentralized "AI OpenSea"
📊 #Sahara's current data is impressive (launched on the May SIWA testnet):
• Daily active users: 1.4 million+
• Total on-chain accounts: 3.2 million+
• Data service platform users: 200,000+
• Actual enterprise collaborations: 40+ (Microsoft, Amazon, CharacterAI, etc.)
• Revenue scale: in the tens of millions of dollars
• AI trainer community: over 200,000+
In simple terms, #Sahara is not an "AI project that just writes white papers and boasts," but a truly serious project that operates, has users, and can self-generate revenue.
💼 Strong team strength, powerful investor background
• Founder Sean Ren: Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Southern California, an expert in AI, leading a team in real model training.
• Co-founder Tyler Zhou: Former Investment Director at Binance Labs, an experienced #Web3 investor.
• Additionally, #Sahara has raised a total of $49 million, with investors including top institutions like Polychain, Binance, Sequoia Capital, and Pantera Capital.
So, backed by strong Web2 AI capabilities + Web3 investment experience + top-tier capital, it forms a strong triangular resource closed loop, showcasing its strength.
In summary, as investors, we must participate in this #Sahara ICO event with @buidlpad. As for the KYC issue, we can find a way to resolve it. #Sahara, as the first platform for "AI asset on-chain," is currently the only platform in the entire network of AI projects that has connected the entire process of "data → model → execution → revenue," possessing a complete economic closed loop and token value capture capability. Moreover, it has a strong narrative, solid logic, and a closed-loop structure, achieving a dual-driven model of #Web2 and #Web3, not just relying on narrative but also having real revenue, real usage, and real users. If you believe that "AI is the computing platform of the new era," then whoever can build an AI assetization, verifiable, and collaborative infrastructure platform has the opportunity to become the next giant. #Sahara is moving in this direction, and we are full of expectations for it, making it worthy of close attention. 🧐
