what's Sahara AI?
Sahara AI is a decentralized AI blockchain platform designed to enable the creation, sharing, and trading of AI assets while ensuring fair compensation for contributors, data sovereignty, and privacy preservation. It features an AI-native blockchain with Sahara Blockchain Protocols (SBP), implemented through smart contracts, that support collaborative AI development. The platform includes a layered architecture with a marketplace for AI models, agents, and data, fostering an inclusive ecosystem where users can build and monetize AI without centralized gatekeepers. The native utility token, $SAHARA, powers the platform's economic model by facilitating transactions between data providers, model builders, compute resources, and end users. It enables on-chain settlements, rewards for contributions, and governance in a transparent manner. Sahara AI also offers tools like an AI Studio for developers to create DeFi agents and other applications, emphasizing open access and real-world utility in decentralized AI. By addressing key challenges in AI such as data ownership and equitable value distribution, Sahara AI aims to democratize AI innovation through blockchain integration, allowing global participation in a secure and verifiable environment.
