Solana News Today: VeraNet’s 30% Referral Program Fuels AI Ecosystem Expansion on Solana and Polygon

VeraNet, a decentralized AI ecosystem, is redefining how artificial intelligence is developed, shared, and applied. The platform positions itself as a solution to centralization and data privacy concerns by enabling users to co-create and govern its development. Unlike traditional AI systems controlled by corporations, VeraNet allows individuals and organizations to build, customize, and monetize AI tools within a blockchain-based framework. Its recent launch of a Telegram AI bot offers real-time chat, image generation, and smart suggestions, with a Twitter bot slated for release in the near future. The project’s token presale, currently active, provides early access to its VERA token, which operates on Solana and will be bridged to other blockchains like Polygon and Binance Smart Chain [1].

The ecosystem’s tokenomics emphasize decentralization and community incentives. Token distribution allocates 30% to private and presale, 10% to marketing and expansion, and 15% to liquidity, with additional reserves for governance, staking, and ecosystem growth. A 30% referral reward program underscores VeraNet’s focus on user-driven expansion, offering immediate payouts in SOL or USDC without waiting periods. This aligns with its broader vision to democratize access to AI technologies, enabling developers to monetize their work while allowing businesses and researchers to leverage customizable AI solutions [1].

VeraNet’s roadmap outlines a structured development plan from 2025 to 2026. Key milestones include the full launch of its AI Telegram bot in Q1 2025, the introduction of three real-world AI applications by Q2 2025, and the deployment of an AI Agent Marketplace by Q3 2025. By Q4 2025, the token will list on major exchanges, and the AI Ambassador Program will expand global awareness. The platform’s evolution into the metaverse, wearable AI devices, and cross-industry interoperability for healthcare, finance, and education is scheduled for 2026 [1].

The project addresses critical gaps in current AI systems, such as corporate dominance, misuse of data, and limited user control. VeraNet’s decentralized model aims to distribute ownership and decision-making among participants, ensuring transparency in transactions via blockchain. Its AI Model Marketplace allows developers to set prices and control intellectual property, fostering innovation while maintaining data privacy. Additionally, hybrid AI-blockchain applications are designed to serve sectors like cybersecurity and fintech, emphasizing VeraNet’s cross-industry adaptability [1].

By integrating AI into smart wearables and decentralized marketplaces, VeraNet seeks to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and everyday applications. Its focus on interoperability and scalability positions it to support startups, enterprises, and researchers in developing AI-driven solutions. The project’s emphasis on tokenized access and community governance reflects a broader trend in decentralized finance and Web3, aligning with growing demand for open-source, user-centric platforms [1].
