Big week for Gaia: the network is deploying. We're putting ownership at the center—letting builders, partners, and contributors shape the AI economy. Here’s why it matters 👇

1/🧵 Gaia’s network is deploying. This puts ownership at the core—letting developers, contributors, and users shape a sovereign AI infrastructure.

2/ Centralized AI = walled gardens that lock up data, hoard IP and assert misaligned economics. Gaia flips the model: a transparent, user-owned network where value and decisions stay with the community—driving open innovation in the knowledge economy.

4/ Traction speaks: - 700K+ active nodes - 3k domains - 17T+ AI throughputs - Tools like LLM libraries, node CLI, Gaia Domains - 100+ integrations with @MetaMaskDev , @CoinbaseDev, @ethereum, @eigenlayer, and more! - $20M+ backed by @bytetrade, @SIG , @Mantle_Official, @OutlierVC, @MoonPay, @BitGo, and more!

6/ With Gaia, you own your agents, your data, your workflows—no lock-in or gatekeepers. Deploy and monetize AI in a programmable, composable, and truly community-run environment.

7/ Network goes online and onchain! - Our network will enable for AI inference providers as Gaia nodes and domains to enable staking to validate economic trust to client services - As @eigenlayer 's early (perhaps first) AI inference AVS, operators and validators will secure Gaia in coming months - Built on @ensdomains, Gaia domains enable short-names for knowledge exchange. Be your own inference provider!

8/ Season 1 Airdrop launches for early contributors: node operators, domain hosts, XP builders! Strictly for network utility and governance (not speculation). Claim site opens shortly for eligible addresses. Please be cautious to only engage with official Gaia addresses!

9/ Tokenomics are designed for alignment and sustainability: - Max supply: 1B $GAIA - Governance: ERC-20Votes + OpenZeppelin Governor - Ethereum mainnet Allocation: 32% Network (managed via governance) 28% Ecosystem 5% Community 20% Early Backers (vested) 15% Team (vested)

@ruloslll We have a long journey! Why would any "true community member" want to exit right from the start?

@Axl_qinko Not the case. We appreciate all of our community, contributors and stakeholders
