Ready, Set, Bootstrap – PlayAI Gears Up For Node Bootstrapping

Following the success of iAgent’s Node Bootstrapping, NodeOps is thrilled to announce the next project in line – PlayAI. With PlayAI, we bring exciting opportunities for developers, gamers, and community members.

But what exactly is PlayAI, and how does this partnership contribute to the ecosystem? Let’s find out.

Know All About PlayAI

Source | PlayAI: an orchestration layer for consumer intelligence

PlayAI serves as an orchestration layer for consumer intelligence and is shaping the future of gaming and artificial intelligence (AI). Its modular infrastructure simplifies data coordination and processing. It allows developers to build and train AI models on complex datasets across gaming, medical, and other sectors that fuel scalable and efficient AI solutions.

PlayAI network is powered by the PlayAI Chain, Oasis Nodes, and PlayAI Stack, which provide a robust platform for data processing and AI model development. It helps to democratize AI for consumer applications and create a collaborative and interoperable open-source environment where developers can create, share, and deploy AI models permissionlessly.

PlayAI is reshaping consumer applications by making them more intelligent and data-driven. The platform provides access to valuable datasets, incentivizes stakeholders, and equips developers with advanced tools for data analysis. PlayAI offers personalized experiences across industries by turning data into a powerful catalyst.

What are Oasis Nodes?

Oasis Nodes help in data coordination within the PlayAI network. These nodes enable functions like off-chain computation, data processing, and evaluation. They also manage the performance and integrity of various AI models. Oasis Nodes determines the efficiency and security of the PlayAI ecosystem and incentivizes the participants for their contribution. Oasis Nodes will be able to handle more complex operations and tasks as the network continuously expands.

The participants who operate Oasis Nodes are the key players in securing this ecosystem. They ensure the network runs smoothly and maintain performance standards in exchange for rewards – $PLAI, PlayAI’s native token.

Here’s what Oasis Nodes do:

• Data processing: Oasis Nodes collects raw data from users, sensors, and applications for AI model training. They create well-structured data with better quality and accuracy for AI model development.

• Computing: The nodes can perform off-chain computation tasks like AI model training and parameter optimization and maintain high performance without overloading the blockchain. Oasis Nodes also validate AI models against datasets for accuracy and reliability. Distributed computation helps nodes to collaborate and handle large-scale tasks more efficiently.

• Rating: These nodes can access the quality of AI models and data, meaning – only those data that are highly accurate and reliable are used for training AI models and analysis. They use a slashing mechanism to address inaccurate data processing, reinforcing high-quality data and improving AI models throughout the ecosystem.

PlayAI will soon launch its Oasis Nodes via Node Bootstrapping event powered by NodeOps. Unlike traditional nodes set up with long waiting periods between the sales, deployment and rewards, Node Bootstrapping allows users to set up their nodes and deploy them quickly. Node operators can start earning rewards from day one, making it a great opportunity to participate and contribute to the PlayAI ecosystem.

Save the Date

The power of community participation can be seen in NodeOps Governance. The voting for the PlayAI launch proposal ended on October 9th, 2024 (Wednesday), at 5:30 pm (IST), and the project was passed with 95% positive votes from the members.

You can now be among the first ones to bootstrap your nodes—get ready for the official launch on October 14th, 2024.

How to Purchase and Delegate Your PlayAI Oasis Node

Step 1: Sign In to the NodeOps Console

Begin by signing into your NodeOps account to access the NodeConsole.

Step 2: Navigate to the Node Bootstrapping Event Page

Once signed in, go to the Node Bootstrapping Event Page to find the PlayAI Protocol listed.

Step 3: Connect Your Wallet

Connect your EVM-compatible wallet. This wallet will hold your PlayAI Oasis NFT, which operates on the Base blockchain.

Step 4: Select Nodes and Choose Deployment Option

Choose the number of nodes you'd like to purchase, then select one of the following deployment options:

• Option 1: Purchase and Deploy Let us handle node operation, including monitoring, updates, and maintenance. This option removes all the technical complexities of node management.

• Option 2: Purchase Only If you prefer to manage and operate your node independently, choose this option.

Note: If you select Option 1*, you will also need to specify the duration of your node operation.*

Step 5: Apply Promo Code (If Applicable)

If you have a promo code, enter it now and click "Apply."

Step 6: Complete Payment

Click “Pay” to start the payment process. You’ll be redirected to CopperX, our payment partner, to complete your subscription using your preferred blockchain.

Node Delegation

Step 7: Delegate Your Node

Once the payment is confirmed, you will be redirected to Nodefolio. A unique node will be created for you. To initiate delegation, click "Click to Delegate."

Ensure you connect the same wallet containing your PlayAI NFT that you used during the purchase. Delegation takes place on the Base Sepolia network, so you'll need some ETH on Base Sepolia for gas fees. You can obtain free ETH from a faucet like Alchemy Faucet.

Step 8: Confirm Setup

Congratulations! Your PlayAI Oasis Node is now set up. Return to NodeFolio to see your node's status change from "Click to Delegate" to "Running."
