WHAT A DAY! But we’ve been waiting for it: Our network is live. GAIA launches as the native token powering @Gaianet_AI’s decentralized, open, and user-owned AI stack. Let’s go on a journey. GAIA unlocks governance, staking, inference, and participation. It connects builders, node operators, and contributors to a permissionless intelligence layer, all without gatekeepers. Just code, compute, and contribution: GAIA is about participation, not promises. - Majority to the network contributors and ecosystem - Long term vesting for team and early partners - Aligned with usage, not speculation. We founded Gaia with a crazy idea: Could AI infrastructure be fully decentralized, fully open, and actually work? Now there are 700,000+ nodes running inference; real agents; real users, with a real network to build on. I just want to express my massive gratitude to everyone that made this possible; especially my co-founders Matt Wright and Sydney Lai, and the entire Gaia Team. We’ve built something extraordinary and we should be proud. To every contributor who tested, questioned, and shipped: this is yours too. What’s next: We’re opening up the full network — and giving builders more ways to shape it. - Community-led governance - Shared control over how the system evolves - Support for contributors growing the ecosystem This is where things get interesting: Again, I’m so thrilled by how far we’ve come and even more thrilled about what’s next. The future of intelligence is here, and we are going to build one that is open, sovereign, and owned by its users. Let’s go.

The GAIA token now powers the Gaia Network’s decentralized coordination layer — enabling agents, inference, and domains. ETH Contract: 0x2EE7097BfdD98fCE2AC08A1896038a7cd9aaEd81

There are multiple big AI teams that are building decentralized AI infrastructure with heavy focus in Web2 use cases One of them just went live today... it's @Gaianet_AI Reminds me of @flock_io with their Web2 use cases first approach (more value capture, real revenue) Why it's interesting ⇢ Create, deploy, monetize AI agents with their distributed infrastructure (edge nodes prioritizing privacy, transparency, and ownership) ⇢ Scalable + community-driven solutions that is very developer-friendly (extensive documentation, tools) ⇢ Gaia nodes = similar vibes to Bittensor miners (nodes execute AI tasks + maintain network integrity) ⇢ Easy to manage multiple workflows + easily fine-tune their own models without relying on distributed training / federated learning Gaia currently has 700K+ nodes running (means 700K+ computer, GPU, CPU live supporting the network and running AI tasks). Soon users will be able to use the upcoming Gaia AI Phone as a node, enabling more scalability & users adoption. Top Use Cases - Gaia x @Samsung launching Gaia Samsung Phone ➔ enabling users to use AI offline & truly own your AI (like personal Siri that's 10x better). - F1 Agent during Singapore Grand Prix ➔ agent delivers real-time race data, personalized stats, and broadcaster tools - Mars Rover prototype with @NASA ➔ real-time obstacle avoidance and autonomous driving, aligning with NASA’s needs for next-gen exploration vehicles - AI Teaching Assistant with @UCBerkeley for high-enrollment STEM courses ➔ assists professors in developing coursework and supports students with exam preparation, handling diverse queries with subject-specific expertise - Gaia also partnered with @coinbase supporting Coinbase AgentKit, partnered with @eigenlayer AVS enhancing AI inference + security, Value Accrual - Gaia earns from domains (AI agent hosting) paid in $GAIA driving the buy pressure as adoption grows. 5-10% fee goes back to the treasury which is then distributed to $GAIA stakers - Verifiers stake $GAIA to validate AI tasks (e.g., ensuring node uptime or model accuracy, as in the EigenLayer AVS partnership), earning 8–15% APY. There's also lockup / slashing for staking (couldn't find how long here) Flywheel: More Adoption → More Domains → Higher Network Revenue → Better Rewards → Attracts More Security/Capacity → Better Service Quality (better use cases) → Attracts More Domains → Constant $GAIA buy pressure + incentives staking for $GAIA incentives/rev Bottom Line Pretty interesting ecosystem that pretty much went under the radar for a lot of people because of Gaia's dev-focused & Web2-focused nature. Personally excited for Gaia phone which is coming pretty soon. Good chance this spurs the hype akin to the Solana phone craze 2 years ago.

Verification Roundtable #2🐦‍⬛ The world is going trustless. But not trust-free. Agents are transacting, protocols are reasoning, machines are making million-dollar decisions autonomously. But without verification, it's all a black box. - No provenance. - No accountability. - No shared truth. That’s where verification becomes the new root layer, for capital, identity, intelligence. On July 31st, the top minds from @Mira_Network @billions_ntwk @Gaianet_AI @lagrangedev and @Wach_AI building the proof layer of the post-human internet come together ⏰ 31st July | 2:30 PM UTC 📍 Live on X Trust isn’t dying. It’s evolving. See you at the frontier.

A new gateway to Gaia. $GAIA is now listed on @krakenfx — expanding global access to decentralized AI infrastructure. The network grows as more participants build and contribute.

.@Etherum aligned for a decade🫡🦄✨ @Gaianet_AI is EVM-first and bringing decentralized AI inference and agent infra to Ethereum and L2s. Proud to be a part of the community!

Gaia whitepaper is out! 🔥📖 Read me: Thread:

Decentralized AI isn't just a compute challenge — it's a coordination problem. Today, we’re releasing the GAIA Token Whitepaper, detailing the protocol-level mechanics that align intelligent agents, node operators, and contributors across the Gaia Network. 🧵

With Bitcoin consolidating just below all time highs, an alt season becomes increasingly likely. But this will probably be isolated to pockets of crypto, of which I believe AI will run the hardest. Here are some interesting AI developments in the past week alone: (1/x)
