Masa Launches LLM-Powered AI Data Subnet on Bittensor, Bringing Hundreds of Developers into the Ecosystem
The AI sector of the crypto industry is projected to reach $10.2 billion in revenue by 2030, according to a research report from VanEck, while centralized AI has a projected market share value of $1.8 trillion by 2030. However, there is a clear demand for decentralized players, as the essential components of AI, including compute, models, and data, should not be monopolized by centralized entities.
The future of AI development is decentralized
In a significant move, Masa, a decentralized AI network where people earn by contributing data, has launched an AI Data Subnet on Bittensor, a protocol pioneering the decentralized production of artificial intelligence. This strategic partnership empowers a world of Fair AI, powered by the people, where AI developers can build anything, anywhere with the world’s data.
Value Proposition of the Masa Bittensor Subnet
The Masa Bittensor Subnet provides real-time and static, structured, annotated, and vectorized data from a variety of data sources critical for AI development, such as X (Twitter), Discord, diarized speech (e.g., podcasts, YouTube, TikTok), gated web data (e.g., New York Times), and public web data (e.g., Google Search).
“Masa enables people from all over the world to contribute data and compute to AI development, without centralized control. Masa allows AI developers to build anything, anywhere with the world’s data.” - Masa
Masa and Bittensor: A partnership for decentralized AI development
Similar to Bittensor’s incentive mechanism, Masa contributors - validators and workers - are rewarded based on the value of their contribution to the network, using game-theoretical frameworks that optimize a contributor’s utility on the network. This ensures an effective system that uses economic incentives to drive growth and the equitable expansion of Fair AI.
$MASA Joins Bittensor Subnet Ecosystem as First and Only Live Token
Masa’s token, $MASA, now becomes the only live token for any subnet in the Bittensor ecosystem. In addition, Masa Protocol and Masa Bittensor Subnet validators and workers can earn dual-token staking rewards in $MASA and $TAO.
The future of decentralized AI development
The Masa and Bittensor communities can participate using low-power devices to run a Masa worker node from laptops, servers, or future mobile devices by contributing compute and bandwidth from anywhere in the world.
