Bluwhale Decentralizing AI via Smartphones Gains Momentum Amid Ethereum Verge Upgrade

SAN FRANCISCO – December 3, 2024 – As Vitalik Buterin announces the Ethereum upgrade called The Verge—a lighter, “stateless verification” for the Ethereum network using mobile wallets and even smartwatches—Bluwhale, an AI Web3 start-up that already leverages smartphones as nodes to contribute to decentralizing AI, has seen 6,000+ buyers sign up for its Master node whitelist, and more than 10,000 unique buyers participate. Ahead of the curve, Bluwhale is the first startup to push the boundaries of running nodes directly on your smartphones.

Starting December 1st, Bluwhale will offer, in addition to its Master nodes (currently around $600), a lower entry point node called the Common Nodes ($60). Designed to decentralize node ownership further and with unlimited availability, these lower-tier priced nodes enable more people to participate in Bluwhale’s AI network without breaking the bank. Because they are available at lower prices, the Common Nodes provide fewer rewards and capabilities compared to the Master Nodes.

“The next evolution of node sales needs to improve on user experience and accessibility. Similar to NFTs, the more people that can afford and purchase nodes the more decentralized a network and larger a community will be, thus we made them mobile and opened a better price tier” said Han Jin, CEO and co-founder of Bluwhale. “We realized that many Bluwhale community members dont even own desktops or laptops anymore in certain regions of the world, as mobile devices are becoming powerful enough. So we had to double down on empowering anyone to run AI nodes from the smartphone in your pocket.”

Since the Master Node launch Nov. 22, the Bluwhale node sale has seen considerable traction, with 50,000+ people from 32 countries expressing interest in viewing and participating in the sale. To date, 10,000+ Master Nodes have already been sold to approved owners, and the Common Node sale on Dec 1st should at least triple that number.

“Just like ChatGPT which does not need you to download/install software, check hardware specs or understand the technology, blockchain nodes should be just as simple to operate while making you passive income,” Jin continued. “What we’re seeing with our mobile nodes is the birth of a real, decentralized Web3 where individuals power your network potentially unlocking seven Billion devices worldwide.” 

The Bluwhale network is also rapidly growing, with 1,000,000 verified users in only six months, more than 10 million monthly transactions, and 3000 participating enterprises supporting chains such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB, Polygon and Movement Labs among others. Today, with Bluwhale, anyone can connect through socials to the AI platform and turn their smartphone as well as data into a valuable asset. They can receive rewards from pairing with enterprises and individuals for communication, running mobile nodes for verification and contributing data, storage and computing to decentralize Bluwhale’s AI network. 

The Common Nodes will be available next to the Master Nodes starting December 1st, opening up a 90% discounted entry price for even more people to participate in the sale. Bluwhale is planning three seasons of airdrops for its node holders, and to open up operating the nodes before the end of the year. Make sure to accumulate BLUAI points, as the nodes will need a small amount of points to be initialized.
