Spotlight - SANA by OctonetAI

February 12th, 2025

Created by OctonetAI, SANA (Solana AI NFT Agents) tokenizes agents by wrapping them in NFTs and leveraging advanced AI infrastructure to bring intelligence onchain. OctonetAI is an AI network offering scalable, decentralized, and cost-effective solutions for AI/ML developers, businesses, and researchers

In this spotlight, we’ll explore how these Agentic Assets, represented as NFTs, operate and offer unique utility and value through trained AI capabilities that makes them completely autonomous.

Each Agentic Asset comes with its own private model that the owner can train using a specific dataset. This innovative approach disrupts the current market by creating intrinsic value for the owner and introducing the opportunity for agents to gain unique competitive edges.

Consider the current DeFi landscape: many agents are trained on the same models and perform identical tasks, which means none stand out, with each representing essentially the same value. With SANA, however, that dynamic changes. For instance, a savvy trader could develop a sophisticated autonomous trading strategy embedded within an agent. This hidden strategy becomes an asset in itself, something others might want to buy or rent, at significant value adding an extra layer of value. As advanced, trained AI NFTs enter the market, they are poised to drive higher demand and increase floor prices.

Leveraging the groundbreaking technology of OctonetAI, SANA brings intelligence to the blockchain. Its advanced AI infrastructure is redefining how AI NFTs are created, trained, and utilized within the Solana ecosystem.

So how does it work?

Users can mint a unique NFT with a distinct username via the SANA dApp. They can generate or upload custom images, add descriptive tags as NFT properties, and train the NFT with data and plugins—such as chat, streaming, or social media integrations. 

Each username is unique and non-duplicable, ensuring authenticity, while all data is stored within the AI NFT for seamless integration with gaming applications (e.g., tracking health or power-ups) using the Metaplex Core AppData and Core Attribute plugins. Additionally, updates, including LLM version changes, can be applied with the Metaplex Core Autograph plugin. 

The system is also developer-friendly: the SANA SDK enables easy integration of SANA AI agents into products, and the dedicated SANA Explorer provides a transparent, comprehensive overview of all stored AI properties and interactions.

Powered by Metaplex

SANA is the first iteration demonstrating how Agentic Assets, powered by Metaplex, will shape the future of onchain interactions. It showcases the new possibilities enabled by the Metaplex Core standard and the Execute feature for this emerging vertical.

Every SANA NFT will have a unique identity and “personality” that its AI agent develops over time. These AI-driven assets learn from user interactions and environmental data, evolving to meet user needs more effectively.

Additionally, the Execute feature equips each asset’s individualized wallet with an extra layer of accountability and transparent record-keeping for all transactions and decisions. This builds trust and deepens the experience of having a personal, co-creating digital partner rather than just a faceless AI service.


SANA is the perfect showcase for what the future of agentic assets powered by Metaplex will look like.
