Analysis of Sahara AI public sale participation method: Is Binance's investment director personally involved? Is the yield benchmarked against Solayer?

Recently, the blockchain artificial intelligence project Sahara AI announced that it will conduct a public sale on Buidlpad. This article will take you through what Sahara AI is, its investment background, and how to participate.

Sahara AI will put AI assets on the Blockchain

Sahara AI is a decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) Blockchain platform that focuses on EVM Layer 1. On this chain, both the base models and the specially fine-tuned versions will become on-chain assets, maintaining a clear association with their training data and development history. This allows all contributors to achieve reasonable attribution and profit sharing.

Decentralize the ownership and governance of AI assets, and record every transaction and development process on the blockchain to ensure transparency and trust, as well as traceability. Sahara AI has also simplified the process from data collection, model development to deploying AI, and uses Sahara Blockchain, a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed for AI development, to achieve AI Utility. Sahara AI also launched the SIWA public testnet on May 19.

Can Sahara AI's returns be compared to Solayer's?

The Sahara AI seed round was led by Polychain, with the participation of Samsung Next, dao5, Nomad Capital, and Sushan China, raising $6 million in seed rounds. Last August, the Series A round was led by YZi Labs, Pantera Capital and Polychain, with participation from dao5, Nomad Capital, Mirana Ventures, Samsung Next, and Foresight Ventures. The round raised $43 million at a $400 million valuation, notably, Sahara AI co-founder and COO Tyler Zhou was the investment director of Binance Labs.

The public sale will raise $8.5 million at a $600 million valuation, which, like the Solayer public offering, will be refunded on a pro rata basis. Although the fundraising is on the BNB chain, claiming tokens is on Ethereum. However, it should be noted that the public valuation of Sahara AI is larger than the Series A financing, and there is no pre-market trading record on the Whales Market, which cannot be estimated to be more than twice as good as the last Solayer.
