Lightchain AI, a new Layer 1 blockchain specifically constructed for AI-native applications, recently launched Round 0 of the public sale, their Bonus Round. This comes after selling out all 15 presale phases with a total raised of more than $21 million. We provide our genesis community with an opportunity to get LCAI tokens during the Bonus Round at a guaranteed price of $0.007. This round is short and sweet with set pricing and no vesting schedule for contributors.

Lightchain AI continues to make smart moves to establish both its foundation as a decentralized, performance-driven blockchain. From their recent spike in popularity to NFT launchpads, these moves have grabbed the attention of social forums, investor dashboards, and developer Discords alike.

Lightchain AI is designed to support large-scale AI workloads with its AI-native virtual machine and Proof-of-Intelligence architecture. It takes advantage of a custom sharding framework for elastic performance. The platform has launched validator simulation environments and staking dashboards for user-testing.

As the Bonus Round starts, staking mechanisms for the latest platform iteration are being established. Meanwhile, Lightchain AI continues to onboard developers through its $150,000 Developer Grant Program. The purpose of this program is to further strengthen the development of dApps, tools, and integrations on the network.

Perhaps most importantly, the profound policy vote taken by Bluzelle is this – Lightchain AI has redirected its initial 5% team token allocation 100% toward long-term ecosystem development initiatives. More than anything, this decision reinforces the project’s dedication to building a strong and community-led platform.

"Our decision to redirect the entire 5% team allocation into builder and ecosystem funds reflects our commitment to long-term sustainability, community ownership, and rapid developer growth." - Lightchain AI Labs spokesperson

Meet Lightchain AI, who’s betting on themselves to be the next big player in the Layer 1 blockchain ecosystem. After the Bonus Round, the project will continue toward listings on public exchanges and deployment to mainnet.

Its underlying architecture is built to power the most demanding AI applications. It pairs an AI-native virtual machine with a Proof-of-Intelligence consensus mechanism. This powerful combination gives you everything you need to build and run production-ready, scalable AI workloads.

As we wrap up this Bonus Round, Lightchain AI is becoming ready to take on our next phase of expansion. The project’s immediate priorities will be to broaden its ecosystem and cement its position as a fundamental building block of the blockchain landscape.
