Sahara AI (SAHARA)

Sahara AI gained 42.5% for the week, trading at $0.0379 with $65.6M in daily volume after launching its Data Services Platform with a $450,000+ reward pool on day one. The protocol lets individuals monetize their personal data for AI training while maintaining privacy controls — a DePIN model attracting both retail and institutional interest. A published 2026 roadmap pointing toward a DeFi Copilot agent added further upward pressure, making it 30% lighter than the runner-up in terms of token dilution risk.
