[PRESS RELEASE – New York City, New York, August 23rd, 2024]
PlayFi, an AI-powered data network and blockchain tailored for the live content industry, announces its Genesis Node Sale sold out in under 24 hours. The sale, which took place on August 14, 2024, was a necessity to power its network strength and growth, after seeing over 70K transactions in just one week. The exclusive, small-batch offering consisted of 1,000 nodes priced at $400. The quick sell out signals promise of an eager community and anticipation for PlayFi’s network, which will make its debut on Mainnet in coming months.
While PlayFi’s main node sale will take place later in 2024, the need for the Genesis Node Sale was apparent after the network’s surge in activity. These nodes power PlayFi’s network and are necessary to expand the network’s capacity. Genesis nodes serve as a critical piece to the network infrastructure for AI processing, data management and storage, and to ensure consistency across the entire protocol.
“Selling out our first node sale in under 24 hours was an amazing signal from the community that they believe in our vision and understand the importance of nodes to grow the network,” said Ben Beath, founder of PlayFi. “While this node sale helps kickstart our network, participants are also having a direct impact on the future of live content. We’re thrilled to see that we have supporters who understand and believe in the same mission that PlayFi does to create a more powerful live content ecosystem.”
The success of the Genesis Node Sale not only validates the need for a robust and scalable network but also highlights the community’s strong engagement with PlayFi’s vision. As more nodes come online, the network’s ability to handle high transaction volumes and support complex live content applications will only grow stronger.
PlayFi is the first AI and data platform to enable web3 features to be built on top of live content. The protocol bridges the gap between content and actionable data, with infrastructure that allows studios and creators to seamlessly integrate blockchain primitives on top of games, streams, sports and entertainment content. PlayFi’s proprietary AI models extract data from content in realtime, validating it for authenticity and storing it on a high-availability data-edge network.
