Its architecture is layered for scalability, featuring an EVM-compatible chain, a Data Services Platform (DSP), and a decentralized AI Marketplace.

Binance HODLer Airdrop Snapshot
Between June 18–21, 2025, Binance took hourly snapshots of users’ BNB balances subscribed to Simple Earn or On-Chain Yields. Those meeting KYC and eligibility criteria shared 125 million SAHARA tokens — 1.25% of the total supply.
To ensure fairness, Binance applied a staking cap of 4% of the average BNB staked — preventing whales from dominating the airdrop.

For BNB holders who participated, this is just the beginning. Sahara AI is poised to become a major force in the Web3 AI space.
