Masa Unveils Its AI Data Network and Marketplace, Pioneering User-Centric AI Training and Token Rewards

Masa Network, the global leader in decentralized AI and LLM (Large Language Models), has unveiled its AI Data Network and Marketplace mainnet. This groundbreaking platform empowers users to control their digital footprint and earn rewards by contributing data and unused computational power to train AI models. With Masa, the potential of AI is not just in developers’ hands but in the hands of everyday Internet users.

The Masa Network has already seen remarkable engagement, with over 1.4 million users contributing a staggering 40 million data points. Every Internet user can become an anonymized data contributor and node worker on Masa, earning token rewards for sharing their data and computing resources with AI developers. Crucially, users maintain full control over their data and decide with whom to share it. This control is facilitated by Masa’s innovative Zero-Knowledge Soulbound Tokens (zkSBT), ensuring that user data remains private and encrypted.

Masa offers multiple avenues for users to contribute and earn rewards. Through the Masa App, users can engage in quests to earn tokens. The Masa Chrome Browser Extension rewards users for their browsing activity. Users can act as node operators with the Masa Oracle. Additionally, users can simply go about their digital lives within Masa’s extensive partner ecosystem. All contributions result in users accumulating data “points” that can be exchanged for token rewards in the Masa Data Marketplace.

For AI developers, Masa offers a rich source of high-quality, verified personal data in real time. This data enables the training of specialized AI models that can cater to specific needs rather than generalized ones. Additionally, Masa provides developers with access to a suite of decentralized LLMs, removing the complexities associated with model hosting.

MASA Token Goes Live

The MASA token has been launched across Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and on a dedicated Avalanche Subnet within the Masa Network. It has also been listed on major centralized exchanges, including Bybit, Kucoin, Gate, HTX, and PancakeSwap. To mark its mainnet launch and token listing, Masa has allocated 25,000,000 MASA tokens for trading competitions and AI data farming.

Furthermore, the network has set aside 6,666,666 MASA tokens to incentivize users to share their data on the AI Data Marketplace. MASA has generated significant anticipation in 2024, evidenced by its record-breaking Coinlist Community Sale. The sale was oversubscribed six times over and sold out in just 17 minutes, raising $8.75 million. Remarkably, Masa was the only AI project featured on CoinList Launchpad this year.

Calanthia Mei, Co-founder of Masa, shared her vision for the platform’s future: “The launch of the Masa AI Data Network and MASA token is only the beginning. Our mission is to radically transform AI, by empowering users to earn from powering the AI economy. We envision a future where billions of users are contributing data and compute to power the future of AI. While Web3 has been the springboard for Masa, we are already collaborating with AI developers and institutions in Web2, with the vision to transform the entire AI industry.”

Masa is the premier Decentralized AI Data and LLM Network, allowing users to own, share, and monetize their data and computing resources to drive AI applications. With over 1.4 million unique users, 48,000 node operators, and 40 million proprietary data points, Masa has firmly established itself as a leader in the decentralized AI landscape.

The company has raised $18 million from top-tier investors, including Digital Currency Group, Anagram, and GoldenTree. Masa is a proud graduate of Binance MVB Accelerator Season 6 and has been selected to participate in the Hashkey AI Accelerator. With its innovative approach to AI training and user empowerment, Masa is poised to reshape the future of AI and decentralized computing.
