For the past decade, breakthroughs in AI technology have largely been controlled by a handful of tech giants. Tech giants have used ordinary users as data contributors without sharing profits. Sahara aims to change this inequitable structure, transforming AI from an exclusive asset of industry titans into a decentralized, public asset marketplace.
Sahara is not just a decentralized AI platform. It creates a Web3 AI ecosystem where models, datasets, and AI agents become on-chain assets that users can own, trade, and share.
Traditional AI model development is usually locked within enterprises, making fair profit sharing impossible for most contributors. Sahara changes this by treating every AI component as an on-chain asset, including:
Through blockchain-based attribution, every contributor is recognized and automatically receives a share of the profits whenever their asset is used or licensed. This ensures that creators truly own the results of their work. Developers, data providers, and end users all share in the commercial value generated by AI when they contribute.
Sahara’s technology stack is highly flexible, organized into four primary layers designed to support the creation, validation, trading, and deployment of AI assets:
1. Application Layer: Includes AI agent design tools, data labeling modules, and model frontends
2. Transaction Layer: Built on Sahara’s proprietary L1 chain, managing asset copyrights, profit sharing, and royalty settings
3. Data Layer: Integrates on-chain and off-chain data protocols to balance privacy and traceability
4. Execution Layer: Supports distributed computing networks for model training and inference
This approach makes the AI supply chain fully transparent. Every step is traceable and verifiable on-chain, creating a trust-minimized environment for collaboration.
Sahara provides robust technology along with a sustainable economic and governance framework:
With these mechanisms, Sahara is not just a technology provider but an open, sustainably incentivized AI ecosystem.
Sahara’s native token, $SAHARA, powers both utility and governance functions. With a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens, distribution is as follows:
This token distribution ensures a fair launch and supports sustainable governance, making $SAHARA serve as both transactional fuel and a symbol of ownership and governance in a free AI marketplace.
Sahara is already live on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with plans to migrate to its own Layer 1 mainnet. The roadmap includes:

Sahara is building more than decentralized AI infrastructure. It’s establishing a new order where everyone can own, build, and profit from AI commercialization. In Sahara’s ecosystem, AI is modular, collaborative, and equitably distributed as a public resource, not the exclusive domain of corporate monopolies.
