🚀 Sahara completes CEX Grand Slam+public beta of two core products Today is full of good news, first of all, Upbit/Bithumb announced this morning that they support SAHARA Korean won spot trading, tied with Binance, OKX, and Kraken to complete the CEX Grand Slam. The project that can be launched on core mainstream exchanges at once is a rare choice this year. While the vast majority of people are celebrating TGE, the team is still steadily advancing the product without arrogance or impatience. Today Sahara officially announced the public beta testing of two flagship products: • 🔧 Code free AI Builder - Sahara Agent Builder • 🧠 Open Source AI Resource Market - AI Marketplace These two core products have been publicly tested, marking Sahara's official transition from the "conceptual stage" to a new stage of "practical use". As an old leek who has invested in many AI projects and has been concerned about the crypto ecosystem for many years, we have been accompanying Sahara to grow together since 24 years, experiencing various setbacks and doubts along the way, until our current glory. I want to use the simplest words to explain why I am optimistic about Sahara, especially these two core products that have just been tested. one ️⃣ What is Sahara Agent Builder? Why do I think it can overcome the 'technical threshold' In human terms, Agent Builder is a foolproof platform for building AI agents. You don't need to write code, choose a GPU, or configure an environment. You can create an AI agent with just a few clicks on a webpage, which can be used as a legal assistant, community robot, or enterprise assistant. ✔️ You only need three steps: 1. Choose a name+write a system prompt 2. Choose a model (also available from Marketplace) 3. Add some of your own data (or import directly from the Marketplace) 👉 Finally, click 'Deploy', and after a few seconds, the system will return a usable URL interface for you to go online directly. It really solved my pain point: Previously, setting up an agent, from prompt to model selection, to data management and hosting deployment, required at least 2 days of effort I can finish a demo in 10 minutes now, and I can also modify versions and test behaviors in one interface, which is very comfortable Moreover, it is not just a toy, it can also be registered on the chain, set up licenses, and support revenue sharing and monetization in the future. two ️⃣ What is Sahara AI Marketplace? Why do I think it can form a flywheel effect Simply put, this is an AI resource market that combines GitHub, HuggingFace, and Web3 paid features. You can get ready-made items from the Marketplace: • ✅ AI model (open source available) • ✅ Dataset (available for training or retrieval) • ✅ In the future, there will be AI agents launched by others And the Agent you build can also be listed on the Marketplace in reverse, with usage rights and copyright fees set, and directly monetized. This is based on Sahara's unique on chain mechanism: All models/data/agents can be registered as NFTs • Set up usage licenses (4 standard licenses) The system automatically tracks downstream usage behavior and settles copyright fees automatically My favorite thing is that someone has finally bridged the gap between open source and monetization. Previously, when you sent a model to Hugging Face, unless it was for enterprise services, it was likely to gain popularity and burn energy. Now you can open up remix usage while setting up licenses to automatically collect revenue sharing from downstream builders. This logic is closed-loop and runs smoothly, completely benefiting independent developers. three ️⃣ Why do I think these two products are the true "starting point of Sahara's growth period" When Buidlpad went public before, everyone was still debating Sahara's valuation (whether 600 million yuan is expensive or not), and I never participated in the discussion because I don't like to talk about projects purely based on "valuation". I just silently filled up the quota for @ buidlpad and called on my small group of partners to participate in this project. Currently, Aster's pre-market valuation is 1.6 billion, nearly three times. In terms of Web3+AI projects, besides valuation, what I am more concerned about is: Is there a clear positioning for this project? Is there an ability for developers to stay in this ecosystem? Has "encryption logic" been integrated into AI workflows? Today, it seems that the open beta of Agent Builder+Marketplace is the beginning of Sahara fulfilling its promise. Looking back at history, Sahara is gradually building its own AI skyscraper, from data annotation at the beginning to now creating a complete AI on chain infrastructure. Step by step, investors and community users have become the most powerful witnesses: • ⛓️ Layer1 blockchain (Sahara Chain) • 🔐 PoA (Room of Attribution) • 🔧 No Code Building Tool (Agent Builder) • 🧠 Open source+paid marketplace (AI Marketplace) • 📦 Encrypting Data Warehouse (Vault) • 💰 Revenue automatic distribution system (License contract+NFT) This is not a 'drawing cake', but a building that has already been constructed according to the blueprint. So this is not "riding on the heat", it is truly achieving synchronous "ecological preparation+market landing". I have always said that when a project is worth investing in, the key is not in valuation, but in the node of 'starting to fulfill the vision'. Sahara's two products launched for public testing today have become one of the "most critical reflection points" in early projects: • Technology landing verification ✅ • Development tools available ✅ Community participation is authentic ✅ • Completed above ✅ Clear market narrative ✅ From here on, it is the process of ecological snowballing and the explosion of usage scenarios. It's hard to say that one day, behind a popular AI agent is the infrastructure built by Sahara. So if you are a developer, then Agent Builder and AI Marketplace are worth trying out immediately. If you are an investor, why not lock in the opening time of Sahara tonight and find a good price! 🧐
