LazAI testnet officially launched

This is a Web 3-native AI network where you can create, own, and profit from AI agents and data assets. Through programmable DATs (data-anchored tokens), on-chain traceability, and transparent value flow mechanisms, it addresses issues such as data monopoly, poor quality control, and unfair incentives. It is an ideal platform for building value-aligned AI agents and contributing high-quality data.

Users can now join the whitelisting campaign to prepare for the upcoming launch of Lazbubu, the AI companion DAT. Developers can start building on the testnet now.

Breaking down the core barriers to AI development

Current AI development faces the following core issues:

• Data sharing dilemma: lack of secure and standardized data exchange mechanism, which makes data prone to abuse or leakage.
• Data quality black hole: There is a lack of a unified framework to measure and verify the value of datasets.
• Infrastructure gap: Lack of a complete system that connects data, models, and computing power and can verify output results.
• Unfair distribution of benefits: Contributors rarely receive benefits transparently and fairly based on their impact.

LazAI addresses these shortcomings by providing an open, verifiable AI economic system jointly owned by participants. The testnet puts you at the core of building the ecosystem.

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 that supports multiple AI model architectures and provides cross-language SDKs for Python, Node.js, and Rust. It features high-performance inference, native on-chain connectivity, and smooth workflow management.
• Data Anchored Token (DAT) – A standard for AI assetization that returns ownership and revenue to users. Rewards are based on the value and quality of the data or models provided.
• Out-of-the-box scalability – Includes the DAT marketplace for AI-native asset trading, LazPad, a platform for deploying AI agents, and the DeFAI protocol for AI applications. Verified computation, decentralized data sources, and model hosting make the stack modular and adaptable.

With these components working together, LazAI sets a new standard for an open, verifiable AI economy.

Developer Guide: Five Steps to Join the Testnet

1. Contribute and Build – Start developing with the Alith Framework 's APIs, debugging tools, performance monitoring, and optimization guides.
2. Generate Proofs – Create cryptographic proofs of data quality and model performance and anchor them on-chain.
3. Verify results – Verify results through QBFT verification and economic security and fraud detection. Learn more .
4. Get Rewarded – Earn DAT through a transparent contribution-based incentive mechanism.
5. Integration and Extension – Access an extensible, OpenAI-compatible inference API and learn more through native DAT integration.

The LazAI testnet supports decentralized storage, OpenAI-compatible interfaces, native DAT tokenization, verified computation, and iDAO governance, creating a secure and composable AI development environment. Developers are welcome to join the LazAI developer Discord group to raise any technical questions.

Governance and Security

LazAI utilizes an iDAO governance model, where the community drives decision-making, allocates resources, and ensures accountability. This community-driven model is reinforced by LazAI's verifiable computation framework, ensuring that the network remains user-focused and protected from abuse throughout its transition from testnet to the launch of the Companion DAT, LazPad, and mainnet.

Limited time participation: LazBubu companion DAT is coming soon

The LazPad whitelist campaign will close on August 20th, at which time the AI companion DAT will be launched on the testnet. Once launched, you can mint your own LazBubu DAT and start cultivating it.

✅Whitelisted users will unlock blind boxes containing rare and unexpected rewards.

Visit the LazPad whitelist page now, complete the tasks, and prepare to mint and interact with your DAT on August 20th. Join the LazAI official Telegram group and the LazAI Chinese Telegram group to ask questions and participate in community interaction at any time.
