San Francisco, California, August 27th, 2024, Chainwire – Today Masa, a decentralized AI network where people earn by contributing data, announces that its Subnet 42 is now fully integrated into Bittensor’s neural network and is live on mainnet. The Masa Bittensor Subnet will be joined by 10+ Genesis Institutional Validator Partners. Masa’s AI data subnet, reached its full miner capacity in the first week of testnet, and was over capacity by 192% during its 6-week incentivized testnet.

Masa’s launch of its Subnet on Bittesnor’s mainnet is the next step in advancing its mission to supercharge open and permissionless AI data aggregation, transformation, and access. The Subnet is powered by a competitive global network of miners contributing data from diverse data sources, which is verified for accuracy by validators, and then used by AI developers to train generalized and specialized artificial intelligence. Together, this empowers a world of Fair AI powered by the people, where AI developers can build anything, anywhere with the world’s data.

Masa’s Subnet brings a massive volume of real-time and static (indexed), structured, annotated, and vectorized data to the Bittensor ecosystem, analyzing nearly 20 billion data points daily spanning:

This highlights the vast data Masa’s subnet process, empowering developers to build innovative AI applications with real-time data from a variety of sources critical for AI development. The Masa Bittensor Subnet Mainnet offers developers a cost-effective approach to accelerating AI development, powered by permissionless data access.

Masa’s subnet also introduces a new MASA-TAO dual-token incentive mechanism to participating miners and validators. Using a competitive game-theoretical framework, miners and validators are rewarded with both MASA and TAO emissions, incentivizing high-performing contributions. Anyone, anywhere in the world with high-speed internet can participate on Subnet 42.

The move is a significant milestone following Masa’s launch of an incentivized testnet for its AI Data Subnet on Bittensor, in partnership with CoinList at the beginning of July 2024. The incentivized testnet was a success, reaching its full capacity of 256 miners in the first week of operation in which over 750 miners competed for testnet slots, increasing Masa’s capacity to serve 900 million tweets per month to developers.

“The launch of Masa’s Bittensor Subnet is critical for the scaling and adoption of decentralized AI,” said Brendan Playford, Co-founder of Masa. “Just as Ethereum revolutionized smart contracts, Masa is set to transform the AI landscape by becoming the go-to data layer for both decentralized AI and the entire web2 AI ecosystem. With our subnet now live, Masa is bringing billions of rows of real-time, on-demand, and indexed data. By providing a decentralized network for AI data aggregation. preprocessing, and access, Masa is laying the foundation for a new era of Fair AI. Masa’s integration into the Bittensor ecosystem is our commitment to building an AI future that’s open, equitable, and truly powered by the people. This makes data accessible anywhere in the world by any developer building AI.”

Developers can use the Masa SDK to easily scrape and structure real-time data directly from the Masa Bittensor Subnet API, enabling advanced RAG applications. For instance, if a user is building a prediction market agent to forecast crypto trends, they can leverage live tweets, Discord chats, YouTube KOL playlists, and Telegram groups to enhance their forecasting algorithm and create vector embeddings for RAG tooling. This allows the AI model to detect spikes in mentions or key trends, such as a celebrity endorsement, allowing the program to provide users with immediate insights and alerts.

Additionally, validators on the subnet play a crucial role in aggregating open-source datasets from these data sources. They curate, process, and publish these datasets to the Masa Foundation’s Hugging Face collections. This ensures a rich, diverse, and continuously updated repository of AI-ready data, accessible to developers and researchers that span billions of rows of continuously growing data.

Masa has raised $18 million from leading investors such as DCG, Anagram, Animoca, and Republic Digital. In March 2024, Masa completed its viral 17-minute CoinList Sale, followed by the launch of its token generation event in April. Meanwhile, Bittensor has amassed a $10 billion AI ecosystem since its launch in March 2023, hosting validators such as DCG subsidiary Foundry and Polychain.
