Project Analysis of Sahara AI

The reason for focusing on this project is that its investors include Binance Labs, Polychain, Pantera, and others.

The most straightforward understanding is that Sahara is an all-in-one AI tool, which includes a blockchain (Sahara Chain).

So what does this all-in-one AI include:

A data labeling platform that allows users to collect, refine, and label datasets and receive incentives.

What is data labeling?

The data labeling process is used to identify raw data (images, text files, videos, etc.) and add some information tags as context, for example, you are a human, and when looking at a picture of a bird, you write down to tell the AI that this is a lark.

A data tokenization platform that allows users to upload datasets, register on the chain, and mint an ownership NFT to complete the provenance verification of data and AI assets.

Why tokenize data?

For example, if you have some ready-made data, such as previously discussed human DNA sample data, others can buy or rent this data to directly train specialized AI, and tokenization is to confirm ownership to monetize your data.

An AI deployment platform that allows developers to use various data available to launch their own AI.

Thanks to various open-source projects, current developers no longer need to research neural networks and algorithms themselves; they can directly use existing models, such as DeepSeek, and input different data to train vertical domain AIs. Therefore, Sahara also plans to provide supporting GPU and CPU computing power services.

An L1 blockchain, namely the Sahara Chain. As mentioned earlier, various aspects of the all-in-one process, such as the trading of data assets and AI assets, are likely to occur on this chain.

Many years ago, there was a dream in the industry that every platform would have its own chain; it now seems to have been basically realized. The virtual machine of the Sahara Chain is EVM, and the development components are Cosmos SDK, which looks like a standard PoS chain. Although its token has not been issued yet (but public offering is coming soon), one can assume that one of the important roles of the token is as GAS fees.

Therefore, this so-called all-in-one AI development, from data labeling to AI models to GPU computing power, has brought together four major parts, constituting the basic framework of Sahara AI.
