Masa is a decentralized AI network, where people earn by contributing data. AI developers can build anything, anywhere with the world’s data.
Masa is backed by DCG, Anagram, Animoca, and incubated by Binance and Hashkey. Masa was the first AI project debuted on CoinList in 2024, where we had a record-breaking, 17-minute token sale.

Masa is excited to announce the launch of Masa’s AI Data Subnet on Bittensor. The launch of the Masa Bittensor Subnet unites the technology and community of two pioneering forces in decentralized AI.
The Masa Bittensor Incentivized Testnet invites you to:
Masa Bittensor Incentivized Testnet is designed to test the Masa Bittensor Subnet’s capacity, resilience, and performance. Miners will provide data and computational resources to the Masa Bittensor Subnet.
The top-performing 256 miners at any given point in time will be eligible to earn a share of the 3,000,000 MASA token rewards pool. The higher your performance, the more rewards you may earn. Performance is based on factors including the amount of data, quality of data, and computational processing power miners provide to the network. All rewards are calculated programmatically over the entire duration of the testnet campaign.

Bittensor is a decentralized, peer-to-peer artificial intelligence network designed for the creation, sharing, deployment, and training of machine learning models. With its sophisticated TAO economic model that incentivizes the decentralized production of high-value artificial intelligence, Bittensor has become a force to be reckoned with. Since its launch in March 2023, Bittensor has grown into one of the first $10-billion AI ecosystems, with institutional validators staking a total of 5.7 million $TAO, worth over $1billion.
Data is the new currency of the AI economy. With many proprietary and open-source options, general purpose LLMs are converging, becoming commoditized, and are in a race to the bottom. The most valuable AI applications will be the most specialized ones that leverage real-time data for up to date context and subject specialization. Specialized AI applications require huge amounts of specialized AI training data that is constantly up to date.
The Masa Bittensor Subnet provides real-time and static, structured, annotated, and vectorized data from a variety of data sources critical for AI development, such as X (Twitter), Discord, diarized speech (e.g. podcasts, YouTube, TikTok), gated web data (e.g. New York Times), and public web data (e.g. Google Search).
Real-time data can be used to build robust datasets or used directly in system prompts, providing up to date context to LLMs. Static data sets are constantly updated and stored by subnet workers for further processing into vectors to fuel Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in AI agents. These data sets are processed and annotated using agentic data pipelines that employ fine-tuned LLMs trained on JSON and other formats to deliver high-quality outputs from volatile data inputs.

MASA token staking is live. All Masa token holders can now easily stake their MASA tokens in Masa’s simple and user-friendly app. Users can choose their lock-up period and APY to get started.
These staking rewards are only available for a limited time and the staking pool is capped at 60,000,000 MASA tokens.
Masa’s intuitive staking interface allows users to view their lock-up period, staked amount, APY & the total tokens earned at the end of the unlock period.
