With LazAI Alpha Mainnet now live, we are introducing the Developer Incentive Program to support builders creating AI agents and applications using Data Anchoring Tokens (DATs), and the Alith framework. The program launches with a total pool of 10,000 METIS distributed across gas sponsorships and ecosystem growth initiatives.

This initiative removes barriers to entry through gas fee sponsorships while providing comprehensive ecosystem support. Whether you're launching your first project or scaling an established application, the program offers the infrastructure and resources needed to build the next generation of verifiable, personalized AI solutions on Web3.
