Introduction: Create, own, and benefit from AI agents and data assets. The LazAI testnet breaks the AI's closed data barriers, ensuring that every output can be trusted, allowing creators to achieve full ownership and revenue realization in an open-chain AI economy.

LazAI Testnet Officially Launched

This is a Web3-native AI network where you can create, own AI agents and data assets, and benefit from them. It addresses data monopolies, poor quality control, and unfair incentive mechanisms through programmable DATs (Data Anchoring Tokens), on-chain traceability, and a transparent value flow mechanism. This is an ideal platform to build AI agents consistent with value and contribute high-quality data.

Users can now sign up in advance for the whitelist event to prepare for the upcoming Lazbubu - AI Companion DAT. Developers can now start building on the testnet.

Breaking the Core Barrier of AI Development

The current development of AI faces the following core issues:

· Data Sharing Dilemma: Lack of a secure, standardized data exchange mechanism that is prone to abuse or leakage.

· Data Quality Black Hole: Lack of a unified framework to measure and validate the value of a dataset.

· Infrastructure Gap: Lack of a holistic system to connect data, models, and computing power and to verify the output results.

· Unfair Revenue Distribution: Few contributors can transparently and fairly benefit based on their impact.

LazAI provides an open, verifiable AI economic system collectively owned by participants to address these shortcomings, placing you at the core of the ecosystem on the testnet.

Testnet Highlights

The LazAI Testnet provides a complete infrastructure for building, owning, and scaling AI in a decentralized environment:

· Alith Framework – A developer-friendly environment supporting various AI model architectures, offering cross-language SDKs for Python, Node.js, and Rust. Featuring high-performance inference, native on-chain connectivity, and smooth workflow management.

· Data Anchoring Token (DAT) – The standard for AI assetization, returning ownership and revenue rights to users. Rewards are based on the value and quality of the provided data or models.

· Out-of-the-Box Scalability – Includes the DAT Market for AI-native asset trading, the LazPad platform for deploying AI agents, and the DeFAI protocol for AI application. Verifiable computation, decentralized data sources, and model hosting make the stack modular and adaptable.

Through the collaboration of these components, LazAI sets a new standard for an open, verifiable AI economy.

Developer's Guide: Five Steps to Join the Testnet

1. Contribute and Build – Kickstart development using the Alith Framework's API, debugging tools, performance monitoring, and optimization guides.

2. Generate Proof – Create cryptographic proofs for data quality and model performance and anchor them on-chain.

3. Validate Effects – Validate results through QBFT consensus and economic security and fraud detection, learn more.

4. Earn Rewards – Earn DAT through a contribution-based transparent incentive mechanism.

5. Integration and Expansion – Access the scalable, OpenAI-compatible inference API and through native DAT integration, learn more.

The LazAI testnet supports decentralized storage, OpenAI-compatible interfaces, native DAT tokenization, zk-SNARK-based verification, and iDAO governance, creating a secure, composable AI development environment. Developers are welcome to join the LazAI Developer Discord group to address any technical questions.

Governance and Security

LazAI adopts an iDAO governance model, driven by the community to make decisions, allocate resources, and ensure accountability. This community-driven approach is reinforced by LazAI's zk-SNARK-based verification framework. It ensures that the network remains user-centric and prevents abuse as it transitions from the testnet to the companion DAT launch on LazPad and ultimately to the mainnet.

Limited-Time Participation: LazBubu Companion DAT Launching Soon

The LazPad whitelist event will close on August 20th, when the AI Companion DAT will go live on the testnet. Once launched, you can mint your own LazBubu DAT and start nurturing it.

Whitelist participants will unlock a blind box containing rare, valuable, and unexpected rewards.

Visit the LazPad whitelist page now, complete the tasks, and get ready to mint your DAT on August 20th and interact with it. Join the LazAI Official Telegram community and LazAI Chinese Telegram community to ask questions and engage with the community at any time. Join now to be among the first to experience, earn rewards, and explore the world of LazAI companions.
