Sahara AI

We are the first full-stack, AI-native blockchain platform that allows users across different chains to create, contribute to, and monetize artificial intelligence. Our infrastructure aims to build an AI-driven future that is open and accessible. Formerly known as saharalabs.ai, we are now officially SaharaAI.com and are SOC2 Certified for Security & Privacy.

We provide data services, agentic solutions, and results to AI innovators, global enterprises, and research labs, all powered by the Sahara Blockchain. Our platform is for AI developers, resource providers, enterprises, and general users who want to earn crypto by participating in AI development.

For AI model developers, we offer tools to build, train, and monetize AI models. This includes high-quality datasets, developer tools, and various ways to earn revenue in an open, collaborative ecosystem. Resource providers can earn rewards by contributing their compute resources to our Compute Hub. Enterprises can access a global, on-demand workforce for data pipelines. Anyone can participate in and benefit from AI development, including earning crypto.

Our platform provides access to high-value datasets and data labeling services. We use both open-source and proprietary AI models and offer AI developer tools for app development, model training, and fine-tuning. Users can earn revenue from their AI assets through usage fees, royalties, and automated payouts.

We ensure transparent attribution throughout the AI lifecycle, using our blockchain infrastructure to track data contributions and model interactions. This provides visibility into asset origins and histories. Users maintain full control over their AI models and datasets, with proof of ownership and secure storage for intellectual property. Our decentralized framework also creates new on-chain monetization opportunities.

Upcoming developments on our roadmap include the launch of the Data Services Platform (DSP) & Private Testnet in Q4 2024, a private launch of the AI Developer Platform in Q1 2025, and the SIWA Open Testnet in Q2 2025. Open access to the DSP, AI Developer Platform, and AI Marketplace is also planned for Q2 2025, with the full launch of the Sahara Chain Mainnet in Q3 2025. We use open-source agentic protocols to enable secure agent-to-agent interaction, access control, and enforceable usage policies, offering verifiable execution, programmable usage policies, and fair value distribution.

Our vision is for a future where artificial intelligence is equitable, transparent, ethical, and accessible to everyone, fostering AI sovereignty, provenance, and open technology.

Our mission is to build a decentralized AI blockchain platform that removes barriers to AI innovation, supports the collaborative creation of high-quality AI assets, and ensures fair compensation for all contributions.

We have a team of 51-200 employees. Our team consists of experts from both the AI and Web3 industries, with experience from companies and research institutions like Harvard, USC, Stanford, Berkeley, AllenAI, Toloka, Microsoft, Binance, Stability AI, Snapchat, Google, Chainlink, Nervos, and Avalanche. Our angel investors and advisors also include individuals associated with Anthropic, Stanford Alpaca, Midjourney, Together AI, Nous Research, Stability AI, and the Motherson Group.

We foster a collaborative community, working as a human-AI collaborative network dedicated to shaping the future of AI. We seek new talent and prioritize working with leading industry professionals to achieve our goals of open and ethical AI development.
