Sahara AI has announced a revised token unlock schedule for its SAHARA token, extending the lock-up period for investors by three months and for founders, core team members, and advisors by six months. The project stated that the delay demonstrates a long-term commitment to the ecosystem.
No Burn Mechanism Planned
The team confirmed that SAHARA has a fixed supply and no token burn mechanism is being considered. While buybacks remain part of the long-term treasury strategy, they will be funded by revenue from product scaling rather than used as a short-term market reaction tool.
Product Updates and New Features
On the product side, Sahara AI's Sorin platform will soon introduce perpetual trading, strategy backtesting, and Alpha signal monitoring. The SAHARA token is also set to expand to additional blockchains next week. A Sorin simulation trading competition is launching with a prize pool of up to $100,000 in equivalent tokens. The second phase of staking will provide holders with enhanced ecosystem utilities, including agent access, models, and rewards.
Roadmap Unchanged
The team emphasized that the overall roadmap remains unaffected and that new enterprise partnership announcements will continue to be released. The adjustments to the unlock schedule are intended to align incentives and signal a long-term vision for the project.
