Solana News Today: VeraNet Launches Decentralized AI Platform with Solana Blockchain and Token Presale

VeraNet is positioning itself as a decentralized alternative to traditional AI ecosystems, aiming to democratize access to artificial intelligence while prioritizing user ownership and data privacy. The project, which launched its token presale and Telegram bot, seeks to disrupt centralized AI systems dominated by large corporations. By leveraging blockchain technology, VeraNet enables users to contribute to AI development, monetize their creations, and access tools across industries such as healthcare, finance, and education [1].

The platform’s core offering includes a decentralized AI model marketplace, where developers can upload, sell, and customize AI tools. Transactions on the platform are secured via Solana’s blockchain, with cross-chain compatibility planned for networks like Polygon and BSC. Token holders (VERA) will govern the ecosystem, with 30% of tokens allocated to private and presale investors, 10% to marketing, and 15% to liquidity [1]. A referral program offers up to 30% commissions in SOL or USDC for presale participants, incentivizing early adoption.

VeraNet’s roadmap outlines six key phases from early 2025 to mid-2026. These include the beta launch of its Telegram bot and website in Q1 2025, the full ecosystem rollout with three real-world AI applications in Q2 2025, and the introduction of an AI Agent Marketplace by Q3 2025. By Q4 2025, the token will list on centralized exchanges, followed by a metaverse alpha launch with AI-driven VR personas in Q1 2026 and wearable AI devices by Q2 2026 [1].

The project addresses three critical issues in current AI systems: corporate monopolization, data privacy risks, and limited user control. VeraNet’s decentralized structure allows individuals and organizations to train AI locally on wearable devices and share models without intermediaries. This approach aligns with growing demand for ethical AI, as users can verify model accuracy and performance through transparent pricing metrics [1].

While the platform highlights its technical capabilities, its success hinges on adoption. The aggressive referral incentives and cross-industry interoperability (e.g., healthcare, cybersecurity) suggest a focus on broad accessibility. However, competing projects in decentralized AI and AI-focused blockchains may challenge VeraNet’s market position. The tokenomics model, with allocations for partnerships and ecosystem development, indicates a strategic emphasis on long-term growth.
