Sahara AI. A brief guide to the project
1. Sahara Ai introducing
Sahara AI decentralized blockchain-based artificial intelligence platform Sahara AI has announced the launch of user access to AI Studio, a comprehensive solution designed to simplify and integrate the AI development process. This marks the next stage in the expansion of the test network.
AI Studio integrates the entire AI development lifecycle, covering everything from access to datasets and model training to secure storage and scalable computing. Through an integrated marketplace, users can access high-quality, domain-specific, open source and proprietary datasets. The platform enables developers to efficiently upload, import and label datasets, facilitating model training, fine-tuning and deployment of augmented search (RAG) generation pipeline. Secure loading options and seamless workflow integration further enhance usability.
In addition, AI Studio offers a carefully selected selection of open source and proprietary models, RAG pipelines, and customizable workflows. Developers can rapidly deploy models while ensuring privacy and security with Sahara Vaults, which provide a secure environment for AI assets.
The platform also provides access to scalable, secure computing resources optimized for a variety of AI workloads. Trusted execution environment (TEE) capabilities protect data privacy, and integration with leading computing vendors provides flexibility. Users can securely store, organize, and manage datasets, models, and other assets in an encrypted central repository. The repositories provide scalability, reproducibility, and user control over AI resources.
The project has raised $43M in investments from funds such as:

2. This project activity
To get started with the project, we need to go to the Sahara Legends website (https://legends.saharalabs.ai/?code=IBT0IK), there we will be shown alternative ways to register on the site through our evm wallet, I advise you to use either metamask or rabby wallet (more convenient for working with projects). After such as we entered our wallet, we will be shown an island with 5 characters.
Our island is divided into separate sections such as:
1) Gobi bear
2) Jerboa
3) Guanaco
4) Arabian Leopard
5) Emperor Penguin
In each desert we need to collect shards, to get nft of this desert, the more of them, the better for us. Tasks to get these shards can be completely different, such as onchain activity and social tasks to support the project with their activity At the end of this company, we will get nft character of this desert.
This is what the nfts from each desert will look like
If at the end of the testnet you get all those nfts, you can combine them into one and get Bitsy Legacy
2.1 Gobi Desert - Gobi Bear (Guardian of Community)
The Gobi Desert was once a vibrant meeting ground where explorers, innovators, and thinkers came together to share ideas and build a stronger future. Now, the Obscura has sown distrust and apathy, breaking the bonds that once held communities together. The steadfast Gobi Bear, Guardian of Community, stands watch, urging you to rekindle collaboration and rebuild trust among scattered voices.
Here we take a look at all the jobs at Gobi Bear. There are daily quests and social quests in this branch. For daily tasks we will get up to +22 shards per day (without referall task).
First of all, we need to complete the tasks “Visit the Sahara AI blog” and “Visit SaharaLabsAI on X”. Click on these tasks and we will be taken to the Galaxe website, where we need to complete them.
Click on these tasks and go to the site Sahara AI and on them X, the maximum simple tasks to perform, points that will be shown at the bottom of the fpr claiming, they do not have to be received, because for each branding on Galxe you will pay 0.05-0.07$ in G tokens. Our next task is to make one transaction in our evm wallet, to do this you will need “Sahara AI testnet” test tokens.
You can get them in the faucet (https://faucet.saharalabs.ai/) on the site, but an important condition to get them is 0.01eth on Etherium mainet, the team made such a condition to discard dishonest users and leave only worthy users in their project.
After getting the test tokens in faucet, you can make your first onchain transaction on the sahara test network. To do this, go to our wallet, copy your address, go to “send”, select our test network and send tokens to your own wallet, after the transaction has passed, take 20 shards.
Congratulations, you have completed your daily tasks.
Now let's move on to the Social Media tasks in this desert.
The first tasks that we will see, will be related to Discord, to get a legend role on Sahara discord server. I'll leave a link to their discord(https://discord.gg/sahara-ai).
There may be problems with joining the server because the limit on the server is exceeded and it is 500k users, but do not worry, the team is actively cleaning their server from bots and solving the issue with discord to increase the limit of their server, just try to join at different times of the day, you may get lucky. After joining the server, pass verification and select roles on the server. We have a task to get legend role on their discord server, for this purpose we go to community bible, leaf up and see legend role. Click many times on this button to give us the role (there are problems with bots and he does not always immediately give the role).
Once received, you must confirm the job details on the Galxe website (https://app.galxe.com/quest/SaharaAI/GCNDYtp2Rb)
The next task after Legend Role comes getting roles such as Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. They can be obtained at the moment by chatting or buying them for oasis points (OP) on their Discord server.
Bronze role - 4,675 XP, level 10, 4 hours in chats and 250 messages
Silver role - 23,850 XP, level 20, 20 hours in chats and 1192 messages
Gold role - 145,700 XP, level 40, 120-122 hours in chats and 7285 messages
Platinum Role - 1,003,400 XP, level 80, 836 hours in chats and 50170 messages
2.2 Sahara Desert - Jerboa (Guardian of Knowledge)
Beneath the golden dunes of the Sahara Desert lie intricate veins of raw, untapped data, now corrupted and tangled by the Obscura. The agile Jerboa, Guardian of Knowledge, calls on explorers to cleanse the data streams and restore clarity, ensuring that knowledge flows freely once more. At this point in this job thread you can only do “Finish account registration in Data Services Platform”, go to the site and submit yourself to the whitelist. Other quests are only available to users with WL (whitelist), if you have it you can get extra shards on jerboa.
The second season of the closed beta test for Jerboa is now underway. 100,000 wallets have gotten into WL. At the moment how you can get WL. At the AMA sessions they said that you can get it for silver and above role in discord, that is minimum chat 20-21 hours to get it and you get into season 3. The deadline for the end of season 2 is February 27th.
3. Project outcomes and tips
After completing all the tasks, you better go sit in discord and actively chat with users to get your cherished roles. They will greatly influence the testnet process itself globally. They were implemented for a reason. It's better to upgrade to a silver role now and quietly do daily tasks.
Thanks to this role you are very likely to get the coveted WL in the third season, such gifts for the development team it is better not to miss. In chat rooms it is better to communicate as a real user, to actively dialog and support it. One-type words there is very much dislike and punish for them, initially mut for 7 days and bans forever on the server. Thank you for reading my guide, this is just the beginning of writing these guides, more to come
