There are not many AI projects that we can pay long-term attention to and track, and Sahara is one of them. This is a project that we really like, and it is doing something great in the field of AI: "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 without truly implemented products, closed-loop structures, and real needs.
Sahara is one of the few AI x Web3 infrastructure projects that we have truly "remade from the bottom" in our current AI investment research. It not only has a powerful narrative, but also has products, customers, revenue, data, and on chain activity.
🚀 What exactly does Sahara do?
Sahara's goal is not to be a "tool for chatting with AI," but rather a blockchain platform that helps everyone develop, run, and trade AI applications.
Simply put, it is:
Developer's Toolbox (Develop+Deploy AI)
User's data earning platform (labeled data → earnings)
The trading market for AI models (trading AI assets like OpenSea)
It builds a complete closed-loop system of "AI asset chain", which can be completed on chain from data, models, calls, verification to incentive allocation. It belongs to a full stack platform, which is currently unique in the AI market.
🧠 The three major product matrices of Sahara are all Rocket (online or under test)
one ️⃣ Data Service Platform (DSP)
• User participation in data annotation, prompt writing → gaining on chain profits
Myshell, a project on BNB Chain, is already using it for data annotation
Up to millions of users are queuing up to apply for whitelisting
two ️⃣ AI development platform
• Provide APIs, SDKs, and no code tools → Even if you are not a programmer, you can still launch AI products online
Create a complete process for developers from model construction, deployment, to distribution
three ️⃣ AI Asset Trading Market (Coming Soon)
Models, datasets, and agents can all be registered on the chain → market transactions → authorized calls to earn profits
Transforming AI components into tradable on chain assets and creating a decentralized 'AI OpenSea'
📊 Sahara's current data is very impressive (online for SIWA testing in May):
• Daily active users: 1.4 million+
• Total on chain accounts: 3.2 million+
• Data service platform users: 200000+
Actual enterprise cooperation: 40+(Microsoft, Amazon, CharacterAI, etc.)
• Revenue scale: in the tens of millions of dollars range
AI Trainer Community: 200000 people+
Simply put, Sahara is not an AI project that boasts about writing white papers, but a high-quality project that is truly operated seriously, used by people, and capable of self generating.
💼 Strong team strength and strong investor background
Founder Sean Ren: Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southern California, an expert in the field of AI, leading a team to train real models.
Co founder Tyler Zhou: Former Director of Investment at Binance Labs and a veteran Web3 investor.
In addition, Sahara's total financing amount is as high as 49 million US dollars, with investors including top institutions such as Polychain, Binance, Sequoia Capital, Pantera Capital, etc.
So, backed by the powerful Web2 AI capabilities, Web3 investment experience, and top tier capital, a strong triangular resource loop is formed, with strong capabilities.
In summary, as investors, we must participate in the Sahara and @ buidlpad ICO event. As for the KYC issue, we can find a solution. 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", with a complete economic loop and token value capture capability. In addition, the narrative is large, the logic is solid, and the structure is closed-loop, achieving dual wheel drive of Web2 and Web3. It not only relies on narrative, but also has real income, real usage, and landing users. If you agree that 'AI is the computing platform of the new era', then whoever can build an AI assetized, 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, which deserves special attention. 🧐
