About Sahara

Sahara AI was founded in May 2023 by Sean Ren, tenured AI professor at USC, and Tyler Zhou, former investment director at Binance Labs, positioning itself as an AI-native blockchain platform.

In 2024, it completed a $43 million funding round led by Binance Labs, Pantera Capital, and Polychain Capital, with participation from Samsung, Sequoia Capital, and others.

In Q4 2024, it launched the Data Service Platform (DSP) private testnet, attracting over 200,000 users and laying the foundation for AI data contribution and annotation.

In Q2 2025, it launched the SIWA public testnet, reaching over 1.4 million daily active accounts and 3.2 million total accounts, enabling on-chain data ownership registration and tokenization.

In Q3 2025, it released the $SAHARA token on Ethereum and BNB Chain, entering the token utility phase.

On June 26, 2026, a cliff unlock of 1.03 billion SAHARA tokens is planned, increasing circulating supply by approximately 30%, testing the sustainability of its utility narrative.

Updated: Aug 31, 2026

Positive: Staking $SAHARA earns monthly Sorin credits and future ClawApp API allowances, with utility expanding to TaaS/AaaS; Sorin launched perpetual futures, strategy backtesting, and Alpha Signals, and announced multi-chain expansion and enterprise partnerships; investor unlocks delayed by 3 months and team/advisors by 6 months, easing sell pressure; future buybacks are planned to be funded by product revenue.

Negative: On June 9, the price crashed from about $0.03 to $0.013 due to cascading liquidations from concentrated futures selling; the team ruled out a burn mechanism and one-time buybacks, so circulating supply remains unchanged, drawing mixed community reactions.
