Building on our mission of leading the next wave of fair token access, Buidlpad is excited to introduce our Community Distribution of $SAHARA.
This initiative empowers eligible community members to contribute on Buidlpad and receive $SAHARA—prioritizing real users over VCs or whales. This is another step towards proving that the future of AI belongs to builders, believers, and real users. In this article, you’ll find everything you need to know, from eligibility requirements to step-by-step participation details.
About Sahara AI
Sahara AI is the first full-stack, AI-native blockchain platform where anyone can create, contribute to, and monetize AI development, making the future of AI more accessible, equitable, and open to all.
At the core of Sahara AI is the Sahara Blockchain, a purpose-built EVM-compatible Layer 1 that enables on-chain registration, ownership, and monetization of AI assets through smart contracts for attribution, licensing, and revenue sharing. It’s complemented by off-chain AI Execution Protocols, which handle agent creation and execution while generating verifiable proofs of execution attestation anchored on-chain. Together, this dual-layer infrastructure powers
Sahara’s applications, allowing users to contribute data, build agents, and monetize AI across Web2 and Web3.
Built on the Sahara blockchain, the platform features three flagship applications:
A Data Services Platform that enables global users to contribute to AI development by collecting, refining, and labeling data.
An AI Developer Platform for building and deploying AI agents, models, and pipelines.
And a decentralized AI Marketplace for buying, selling, and licensing AI assets such as datasets, models, and agents.
Sahara AI is rapidly gaining traction, with over 3.3 million total on-chain accounts and 1.4 million daily active users. Its growing presence across the AI and Web3 ecosystem signals strong demand for decentralized, community-driven AI infrastructure.
Developed by Sahara Labs
Sahara AI is developed by Sahara Labs, a leading research and development organization trusted by industry giants like Microsoft, Amazon, Snap, MIT, and Motherson Group. The team behind Sahara AI brings deep expertise in AI and blockchain, pushing forward a vision for a more open and equitable AI-driven future.
Sahara Labs has already generated tens of millions in enterprise revenue and secured $43 million in funding from top-tier investors including Polychain Capital, Pantera Capital, Sequoia Capital, YZi Labs, and Samsung Next.
In recognition of its work, Sahara Labs was named one of CB Insights’ Top 100 most promising AI startups of 2025 cementing its place among the most influential AI blockchain platforms in the space.

Community Distribution Overview

This process will take place from June 8 to June 18, 2025 (UTC).
❤23🔥2
During this period, participants will verify their identity, submit interest, and contribute via Buidlpad. Final allocations will be delivered on Buidlpad at Sahara Labs AI’s official Token Generation Event.
Details for each stage are outlined below.
Community Distribution Stages
Stage 1: KYC Registration Period
June 8, 2025 at 3:00 PM UTC — June 11, 2025 at 2:59 PM UTC
All participants must complete KYC on Buidlpad during this window to be eligible for our Sahara AI Community Distribution. This is a mandatory step before the Subscription phase.
Stage 2: Subscription Period
June 10, 2025 at 3:00 AM UTC — June 11, 2025 at 2:59 PM UTC
Users can register their interest in our $SAHARA Community Distribution by subscribing on Buidlpad. No assets are committed at this stage, but subscription is required to move forward. Subscribing does not guarantee participation.
Stage 3: Participants Review
Ends on June 14, 2025 at 3:00 PM UTC
To help us ensure fair and transparent participation, this phase is used to detect and disqualify ineligible entries, including sybil, bot, and farming activity. Participation is limited to eligible residents of certain jurisdictions. Participants will be able to check their eligibility status on the Buidlpad page and proceed to contribute.
Stage 4: Contribution Period
June 14, 2025 at 3:00 PM UTC — June 15, 2025 at 2:59 PM UTC
Eligible users can contribute using $USD1 (ERC-20/BEP-20) or equivalent in native $BNB to secure a potential share of Buidlpad’s $SAHARA allocation once the token generation event (TGE) occurs.
• Minimum Contribution: $50
• Maximum Contribution: $3,000
Over-contributions will be refunded after settlement. Contribution does not guarantee allocation. Eligibility remains subject to verification.
Stage 5: Settlement and Refunds
Completed by June 18, 2025 at 3:00 PM UTC
Final allocations will be displayed on Buidlpad. Any excess contributions or disqualified entries will be refunded in the same token used for payment — either $USD1 (ERC-20/BEP-20) or native $BNB
Priority Allocations for Active Community Members
Buidlpad will allocate up to 30% of our Community Distribution to engaged members of the Sahara AI ecosystem. This includes active contributors, creators, and long-time supporters of Sahara AI.
To be considered, submit Sahara-related content (posts, videos, articles) by June 7, 2025, at 1:00 AM UTC to https://buidlpad.com/projects/sahara-ai
Buidlpad will email the approved and eligible participants a unique code by June 10, 00:00 AM UTC, granting a priority contribution option ranging from $150 to $2,000. Priority allocations are protected from dilution, meaning you can acquire $SAHARA Tokens for the amount specified in your email, regardless of overall demand!
Priority allocations will vary by participant. All priority users must still complete the Subscription and Contribution using their code. If you choose to contribute more than your priority allocation amount, the extra contribution will be subject to the standard allocation calculation and may be subject to dilution depending on the overall contribution.
Claim Fee Structure
A claim fee of 0.5% will be applied to your final allocation by Buidlpad only if you successfully participate in the Community Distribution and eventually receive a token allocation valued above $50.
This fee supports essential components of the distribution process, including KYC verification, compliance, security, and manual anti-sybil measures designed to block fake accounts and farming behavior. These safeguards are critical to maintaining a fair and transparent environment for all participants.
No fee will be charged if your participation is unsuccessful. The fee is non-refundable and will only be applied once your final allocation exceeding $50 is confirmed.

The Role of $SAHARA in Sahara AI Ecosystem
❤5🔥1
With the introduction of $SAHARA, Sahara AI is taking a major step toward decentralization. As the utility token at the core of the Sahara AI ecosystem, $SAHARA powers access, transactions, incentives, security, and governance across a decentralized AI economy. Users spend $SAHARA to license datasets, run models, pay per inference, and rent compute. In return, these contributors—data providers, model developers, and compute operators—receive $SAHARA as payment, creating a fair and transparent value flow across the network.
All on-chain activity, from basic transfers to complex AI interactions, uses $SAHARA as gas to support validators and maintain security. Additionally, $SAHARA grants holders governance rights, allowing them to propose and vote on protocol decisions, funding, and parameters. This ensures that Sahara AI continues to evolve in alignment with its community. Our Community Distribution enables users to take a more active role in shaping the future of open and equitable AI.
About Buidlpad
Buidlpad is a compliant crypto token access platform built to put communities first. In response to the growing disconnect and low trust in many VC-backed projects, Buidlpad is working to bring ownership back where it belongs — with the people and communities who care about and actively contribute to the crypto space.
Our goal is to reduce the dominance of venture capitalists and institutional airdrop farmers over project tokens. By democratizing pre-TGE token access, and emphasizing transparency and compliance, we’re creating fairer opportunities for real users. This approach not only supports long-term sustainability and scalability for project teams, but also gives retail participants meaningful exposure and the chance to shape the future of crypto.
The $SAHARA Community Distribution reflects our belief that the future of AI belongs to builders, believers, and everyday users.

We’ve seen this question a lot, here’s some clarity.
To register, log in, and participate in our $SAHARA Community Distribution, you only need to link at least one address: either SOL or EVM (Ethereum/BNB Chain). If you already have a Solana address linked on Buidlpad (for example, from the Solayer $LAYER sale), it is advised to log in through that same SOL address.
Linking both is not required.
Once you proceed to the Contribution stage, a separate EVM address will be generated for you to deposit your assets (USD1 or BNB) to participate.
