Nuklai

Here’s what you need to know

  • Introducing BUIDL BAY, the first announced builder-focused neighborhood of the Nuklai Smart Data City, an ecosystem whose highlights include attractive grants and community data contribution rewards.
  • We have made great strides in sourcing and onboarding promising data and AI innovators who can benefit from our builder-centric infrastructure and have announced the first four builders for BUIDL BAY. 
  • Select new builders on BUIDL BAY will have airdrops for future NAI stakers.
  • We have announced the roadmap to SmartDataCity, including progress on our innovative layer 1 blockchain and the HelixVM early testnet, the first actionable piece of BUIDL BAY.   HelixVM is going great and getting traction.
  • Nuklai will be the lexicon of reference data, with rewards coming soon on the bulletin for community contributions. Our reference data stores will enhance our enterprise users’ data with extensive, fact-based insights.
  • Community-vetted sizable grants are coming for future BUIDL BAY projects. Sign up using the form, and you might get picked.

Nuklai’s collaborative on-chain ecosystem is designed to unify the world of data and unlock its full potential. 

Our vision of the Smart Data City is an inclusive, collaborative data ecosystem where institutions, individual members, and project builders come together to innovate and create.

With so many milestones and achievements across the board, today we wanted to take time to update you on some great things happening on the road to the Smart Data City. 

Between new innovators, attractive grants, community data contribution rewards, and BUIDL BAY, there’s something for everyone to get excited about! BUIDL BAY is the first builder-focused neighborhood of Smart Data City, and will be released as we receive more Buidlrs.  

To be precise, we wanted to give you a scoop on the progress of Helix VM Early Testnet. We also will introduce some of the first builders leveraging our technology to create innovative data AI startups and tease more information about the exciting grants that are coming for Nuklai innovators.

Last up, we’ll let you know more about how Nuklai is building a huge repository of reference data in our ecosystem and that will help each of these builders thrive in our data landscape. As always, we want our dedicated community to be able to contribute to our reference datasets, with data bounties coming soon. 

The Smart Data City Vision: A Global Community of Data Innovators

Nuklai’s Smart Data City is more than a concept—it's a thriving community where users, builders at BUIDL BAY, and partners collaborate on data and AI innovations. 

Our ecosystem is rich with service providers, builders, investors, and innovators, fostering real-world business opportunities and collaborations.

Nuklai Infrastructure: Built for Diverse Data Innovation 

In this vibrant ecosystem, both startups and large enterprises can access a broad spectrum of services, data, and expertise. 

The journey to creating the Smart Data City includes multiple milestones, such as product releases, partnerships, and gamified campaigns to encourage participation.

Nuklai’s Helix VM and the Road Ahead

As part of our mission to build the Smart Data City, we're developing our own innovative layer 1 blockchain. 

Recently, we launched the Helix VM early testnet and introduced a submission form to encourage early innovators and builders to share their visions for projects built on web3. In exchange, we offer substantial support and grants, so register early to join the BUIDL BAY community.

Developers can now access documentation, the Faucet, and Feed code to familiarize themselves with the Helix VM testnet. 

These resources are integrated within the Nuklai wallet, allowing developers to experience running the wallet locally.

Nuklai’s First Builders: A Selection of Cutting-Edge Data Innovators

Our Ecosystem Team is going full steam, sourcing and onboarding promising innovators in the world of data and AI that can benefit from our builder-centric infrastructure.

On top of this, every new ecosystem builder brings new utility and value to the Nuklai community. As mentioned in this X post, in the near future, staking NAI will allow you to receive exclusive rewards from select projects building on Nuklai. 

Here are some of startups that have already committed to building on Nuklai. 

Planck Network: Powering Accessible AI

Meet Planck Network, our new AI Builder! Planck Network is an AI and computing power DePIN hosting over 200+ GPUs and a data center. 

Their protocols lower the barrier to deploying AI applications, making AI accessible to more companies. Planck Network’s intuitive app and open-source LLM/AI Model APIs will make building Smart Data-powered AI possible and affordable for any business.

Get Rewarded For Building a Rich Lexicon of Reference Data on Nuklai

When you think of data, what comes to mind? Personal data, business data, IoT data? These types of generated data are valuable and often difficult to obtain. However, there is another crucial type of data—reference data. 

Reference data is static and rarely changes, like currency codes, language codes, international vocabularies, and classifications of diseases. These standards are used globally and are essential in many fields.

Each builder in our ecosystem, such as Planck Network, MagnetAI, and Brainstems, will not only benefit from Nuklai's technology but from our growing repository of reference data for their unique use cases. 

This wealth of reference data will enrich the data on our platform, creating a comprehensive and invaluable lexicon for all our users and partners. Our mission is to gather all the reference data in the world, allowing businesses to enhance their data with extensive, fact-based insights.

As mentioned by our Founder and CEO Matthijs de Vries, we are working towards creating the Nuklai World's Ontology, and everyone can contribute to this ambitious mission. 

Simply put, reference data is going to be extremely valuable for the builders dropping anchor at  BUIDL BAY and basically anyone who is going to use Nuklai, including enterprise clients and data scientists. 

Together, we can onboard the world's data and unlock unimaginable insights and new use cases. Soon, new reference data bounties will be posted on the Nuklai Bulletin for all of our community to get stuck into. Keep your eyes peeled! 

Join the Buildrs’ Grant Programme: Share Your Vision and Get Supported
