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 Validator Partners including Foundry, Openτensor Foundaτion, τaosτaτs, Datura, RoundTable21, PRvalidator, Tensorplex Labs, Rizzo, Republic, Nocturnal Labs, Luganodes, Animoca, DSRV, Crypto Times, and InfStone. 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:
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.
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.
