True shifts in tech donât happen overnight
Crypto and AI are the two most disruptive techs today. AI boosts efficiency across nearly every aspect of life, while crypto redefines ownership and financial freedom.
I've been asked many times - how do AI and crypto converge? To me, AI can be centralized and decentralized as long as it delivers the performance, efficiency, scalability, and privacy that users expect. But when it comes to how value is created and distributed in AI systems, thatâs where crypto makes a difference. Crypto introduces a new kind of economy that allows for clear ownership, fair attribution & value exchange among all stakeholders.
The vision of Sahara started two years ago with data labeling. We saw the need for crypto as micropayment in this niche economy, and also token as powerful incentive to drive better data quality. Itâs clear the world is moving rapidly toward an AI-driven future, one where AI becomes embedded in how we work, create, learn, and connect.
Today marks a new milestone for Sahara - SIWA. In this new chapter, Sahara will build the tools, infrastructure, and resources needed to accelerate that future. We want to be the driving force behind this paradigm shift, and bring crypto and AI together.
Sahara is your platform, a place where data contributors, model developers, and consumers all have a role to play and a stake to own. You will find your place with us and grow alongside this journey towards a decentralized AI economy.
Excited for what's ahead. The future of AI and crypto is promising, and we will work together to better grasp AI, use AI, and innovate AI
đ„The SIWA Public Testnet is now live!
SIWA is our public testnet for decentralized AI development and the first real step toward an AI-driven future thatâs open, equitable, and accessible to all.
Hereâs what that means đ§”đ
