The $SAHARA token debuts with 20.4% unlocked supply and claim access for early contributors.
Sahara AI has officially launched its native utility token, $SAHARA, on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain. With 20.4% of the 10 billion total supply unlocked at launch, contributors from the project’s testnet and community campaigns can now claim their tokens.
The token contract is the same on both chains: 0xFDFfB411C4A70AA7C95D5C981a6Fb4Da867e1111. Claims will be processed exclusively on BNB Chain to reduce gas fees and ensure smooth distribution.
The $SAHARA token is designed to support all activity within the Sahara AI ecosystem. Core use cases include:
$SAHARA is central to Sahara AI’s goal of creating a decentralized AI economy where users and developers retain control of data and value.
The project has reserved 64.25% of the total supply for community and ecosystem initiatives. These include:
An additional 5% of the total supply has been allocated to early contributors through a program called “Knowledge Drop,” rewarding Sahara Points and Shards accumulated during the testnet phase. The claim window is open for 15 months.
Binance listed the $SAHARA token shortly after launch, distributing 1,000 tokens to Alpha users. The listing increases token liquidity and brings broader exposure to the AI-focused Web3 platform.
This follows a growing trend of major exchanges supporting decentralized AI projects. Sahara AI has emphasized that its vision aligns with long-term decentralization, data ownership, and utility-driven token value.
Sahara AI is building a full-stack platform that includes a data services layer, an AI developer stack, and a decentralized marketplace for trading models and compute. The token launch is the first major step toward bringing these services on-chain.
With its launch on Ethereum and BNB Chain, the $SAHARA token begins its role in enabling transactions within the Sahara AI ecosystem. The platform’s development will now test its utility design and distribution model.
