LazAI, an AI-native blockchain ecosystem, has announced the launch of its Alpha Mainnet, positioning the release as the first live implementation of on-chain verifiable AI data assetization and AI agent execution settled through METIS. The rollout represents a transition from experimental environments to a live production network, where AI interactions are permanently recorded and economically meaningful on-chain.
With the Alpha Mainnet now operational, every interaction with LazAI’s flagship AI agents, including Lazbubu and SoulTarot, results in the creation of Data Anchoring Tokens, known as DATs. These tokens function as traceable and verifiable records of AI-generated data, effectively transforming user interactions into ownable digital assets. This approach introduces a new model in which AI data is no longer temporary or abstract but instead becomes a persistent component of the blockchain economy.
Turning AI Interactions Into Ownable Assets
LazAI has been developed as a Web3-native AI infrastructure protocol focused on enabling full lifecycle assetization and incentive alignment for personalized AI agents. By combining advanced blockchain infrastructure with developer toolkits, the protocol aims to support the creation of AI systems that are aligned with user interests and economic incentives.
According to the project’s leadership, the Alpha Mainnet represents a turning point where AI data becomes provably owned and verifiable by any participant on the network. Interactions that were previously fleeting are now anchored on-chain, creating transparent records that carry measurable value. Industry observers have suggested that this development may accelerate broader adoption of tokenized AI data models as Web3 teams explore new standards for accountability, transparency, and ownership in artificial intelligence.
Key Features of the Alpha Mainnet
With the mainnet live, conversations with LazAI agents automatically generate DATs, which serve as cryptographic proof of data creation and ownership. These records are designed to be permanent, traceable, and economically relevant.
The launch introduces several notable capabilities. User-generated AI data is converted into on-chain assets, establishing direct economic alignment between users and AI systems. Participation is powered by METIS, which users can bridge from Ethereum or Andromeda, ensuring that all interactions carry real economic weight. Despite these changes, the user experience remains consistent through the LazPad interface, while live on-chain incentives operate in the background. For developers, the network is production-ready, allowing immediate deployment of applications, DAT minting, and integration of verifiable inference pipelines on a QBFT consensus network.
Developer Tools and Incentive Programs
The Alpha phase also delivers a comprehensive suite of developer capabilities. These include proof-of-stake validator staking to secure AI data pipelines, DAT minting combined with revenue-sharing mechanisms for tokenized models and datasets, and an iDAO governance framework to support decentralized AI collectives. Developers also gain access to the Alith software development kit, documentation for building custom on-chain AI agents, and native cross-chain METIS settlement across LazAI, Hyperion, and the broader Metis ecosystem.
📣 LazAI Alpha Mainnet is here!
The new verifiable AI data era starts now, every agent interaction becomes a monetizable Data Anchoring Token (DAT) onchain.

To encourage early adoption, LazAI has introduced a Developer Incentive Program with a total allocation of 10,000 METIS. This initiative includes Ignition Grants for early-stage developers, offering small allocations to help launch applications and onboard initial users. Builder Grants are aimed at more established projects that demonstrate active usage and innovative DAT implementations, providing substantial gas credits and transaction subsidies during their early growth phase. Additional benefits include marketplace visibility, launch support, ecosystem promotion, and access to a broader user growth pool.
Roadmap Toward a Verifiable AI Economy
Throughout 2025, LazAI has been expanding its high-performance AI data layer. The initial phase introduces Alith as a decentralized AI agent framework, followed by the rollout of the DAT-based economy, advanced consensus mechanisms, and iDAO arbitration. Looking ahead to 2026, planned upgrades include zero-knowledge privacy features, decentralized compute markets, and multimodal data evaluation.
Together, these developments are expected to converge into a cross-chain AI asset network where digital agents, avatars, and datasets are fully on-chain, tradable, and governed through transparent mechanisms. The Alpha Mainnet launch lays the groundwork for this vision, signaling a new chapter in the evolution of AI data ownership within Web3.
