Bluwhale AI Node Sale: Key Information
For the convenience of Bluwhale Master Node buyers, we have prepared a single source of truth with all the critical information regarding the sale of Bluwhale’s verifier node license.
Warning: Bluwhale’s BLUAI token has NOT launched, and any token circulating on exchanges allegedly representing Bluwhale is a scam.
Our token generation event is scheduled for Q4 2024. The only reliable sources of information regarding Bluwhale’s token launch are Bluwhale’s official website and social media channels.
Bluwhale Node Types
There are two types of Bluwhale nodes to decentralize the AI network
- Master Nodes: Limited availability to 100,000 and limited timeframe to purchase from September 30th 10AM UTC until December 23rd 11PM UTC
- Common Nodes: Infinite availability and no limitation to quantity or timeframe for purchase starting December 1st, 10AM UTC
The main difference between those two nodes is that Master nodes can create a community of people running nodes together and boosting the group's rewards, while Common nodes have only 1/10th the emissions, a lower price tag, and no boosting or community capabilities.

About Bluwhale — Our Story
In a world dominated by personalized digital experiences, driven by our preference for apps that truly understand us, the need for hyper-personalization is evident. However, achieving this level of personalization relies on the consolidation of millions of users and interconnected data points within the confines of web2 silos. To break free from these network monopolies and pave the way for future web3 applications, fostering interoperability and collaboration is imperative.
Enter Bluwhale, a decentralized personalization protocol designed to transform user and contextual data into knowledge graphs. These graphs empower dApps, AI models and agents to scale efficiently. This abstract introduces an innovative incentive structure for consumer-facing decentralized applications (DApps) to collaborate within an interoperable ecosystem while simultaneously competing.
The envisioned ecosystem promises several advantages, including user control over personal data, seamless connectivity between applications, and active participation in value creation. As a result, this network holds the potential to challenge and ultimately surpass the dominance of existing consumer monopolies.
Bluwhale is Web3’s Intelligence Layer, a personalization protocol empowering dApps (Games, Defi, Protocols, L1/L2s, Exchanges) with insights into their user wallets using AI for profiling, targeting, and discovery of potential customers. The company uses AI to aggregate and contextualize user on-chain and off-chain information and matches enterprises with wallet holders for the highest probability of engagement like through messaging (on/off-chain). This will help projects aggressively grow their user base, while consumers can turn their profile and data into a profitable asset.
We are a Silicon Valley startup founded by Stanford and Berkeley machine learning experts and previous Tiktok AI specialists, DBank, Huobi and Kucoin on a mission to build the smartest AI layer on the blockchain that one day powers every wallet and dApp to become smart.
