The previously introduced @SaharaLabsAI teamed up with @buidlpad to launch $SAHARA tokens with a total community distribution of $8,500,000 and a 100% lock-up TGE at a fully diluted valuation of $600 million. Sahara is using blockchain to reconstruct the underlying rules of the AI economy, let's briefly introduce it below:
1/ Project Overview
Sahara AI is building a decentralized AI network that empowers users to create personalized AI products. Founded by USC professor Sean Ren and investor Tyler Zhou, it has partnered with over 30 companies including Microsoft and Amazon, generating annual revenues exceeding ten million dollars. In its Series A funding, it raised $43 million from top investors such as Polychain Capital, Pantera Capital, Sequoia Capital, YZi Labs, and Samsung Next, and was selected as one of CB Insights' most promising AI startups for 2025.
2/ Key Participation Timeline:

3/ Future Outlook Summary
Sahara AI's testnet has over 3.3 million users, with daily active users exceeding 1.4 million. Its innovative mechanism is fairer and more transparent, preventing VC/robot arbitrage. The $SAHARA token can be used to pay for AI data, models, and computing service fees, participate in on-chain governance voting, and serve as the Gas token for the Sahara blockchain. Sahara has built AI-native Web3 infrastructure, reshaping the rights and circulation system of AI data, models, and agents through blockchain technology. This is not just a technological integration but a new collaborative paradigm designed for the AI economy, enabling global developers to achieve value co-creation and fair distribution in a decentralized environment.
