According to @SaharaLabsAI and sources on Twitter, Sahara AI, an AI Layer1 blockchain project, is launching a community round on @buidlpad with a $6 billion valuation, selling 1.41% of $SAHARA tokens to raise $8.5 million (source: buidlpad.com/projects/sahara). Notably, all tokens purchased in this round will be unlocked at TGE, with no vesting, and the project is at its final testnet stage, signaling imminent mainnet launch. Sahara AI, backed by top investors like Polychain Capital, Binance Labs, Pantera Capital, Sequoia, and Samsung, has over 200,000 active users and a waiting list exceeding 3.5 million for its data contribution platform (source: @SaharaLabsAI). As a leading Crypto+AI project with a closed commercial loop covering data contribution, model execution, application, and incentive distribution, Sahara AI’s token event offers high liquidity potential and rapid entry for traders. The participation process opens for KYC on the 8th and subscription on the 10th. Given the strong sector momentum in AI and crypto integration, this event is likely to influence broader AI token sentiment and trading activity across the market (source: Twitter, buidlpad.com).

According to @ai_9684xtpa on Twitter, BUIDLPad has announced its second public fundraising project in collaboration with Sahara AI, marking the first project to support $USD1 public investment (source: @ai_9684xtpa, May 30, 2025). The previous Solayer project on BUIDLPad saw its $LAYER token subscription price at $0.35, delivering a 135% return as of today and peaking at 4-5x returns for early investors (source: @ai_9684xtpa). Sahara AI is backed by top-tier investors including Pantera, Binance Labs, and Polychain, which enhances market confidence and trading volume potential. The combination of AI sector growth and strong investor backing suggests high anticipation for secondary market performance, making this launch a notable event for crypto traders seeking early-stage opportunities with robust upside potential (source: @ai_9684xtpa).

According to @EmberCN, Sahara AI has launched its SIWA public testnet, marking the final testing phase before the official mainnet launch. Sahara AI serves as an infrastructure layer enabling transparent and verifiable on-chain registration, licensing, and monetization of AI assets like datasets and models (source: @EmberCN on Twitter, May 20, 2025). For crypto traders, this development signals increased potential for AI-driven token utilities and cross-sector blockchain adoption, which could influence the valuation and trading activity of related crypto assets as the platform moves closer to mainnet deployment.

According to @myshell_ai, Sahara AI's new data annotation platform now supports various AI projects by providing high-quality labeled data to enhance AI performance. The first project to utilize this service is MyShell AI. Sahara AI's whitelist users can earn Sahara points and $SHELL tokens by contributing AI annotation data for MyShell.

According to @EmberCN, Sahara AI is transitioning from closed testing to public testing with the launch of the SIWA testnet. This public testnet is likely the final testing phase before Sahara AI's mainnet Token Generation Event (TGE) and offers a last opportunity for airdrop participation.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), ten individuals have been granted access to the Sahara AI phase two testnet whitelist. Participants are instructed to submit their EVM address and email by the specified deadline. This event signals increased activity in the Sahara AI ecosystem, potentially impacting EVM-related trading as users anticipate developments and functionalities from the testnet.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, Sahara AI's second phase testing whitelist giveaway has garnered significant attention, with 780,000 applicants for the first phase but only over 10,000 selected. The second phase offers 10 whitelist spots, indicating strong demand and potential trading interest.
