🪄 Gopher Testnet Is Live — The Truth Layer of the AI Economy ⚡
Every few cycles, a project quietly steps up to redefine what blockchain can do.
This time, it’s not another L2 — it’s a sovereign Layer-1 built to power AI itself.
Masa — known for pioneering decentralized data infrastructure — has officially evolved into Gopher, launching a new blockchain that delivers verifiable, AI-ready data on demand.
The rebrand marks a leap from an app-level network to a programmable AI data economy powered by emissions and on-chain governance.
🪂 The Gopher Testnet is live, letting users explore the network, stake tokens, and earn Gopher Points ahead of the $GOAI token generation event (TGE).
About GopherÂ
Gopher is the truth layer for the AI economy — a modular, proof-of-stake blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK and powered by IBC for scalability and interoperability.
Its emission-based design rewards contributors who provide valuable, verifiable data — creating a decentralized backbone for AI models, apps, and agents.
The former Subnet 42 remains active under the new brand, continuing to deliver real-time data as part of the ecosystem’s core infrastructure.
At the center of it all lies $GOAI, the native token powering emissions, staking, gas, governance, and treasury flows — linking every component of the network into a single value loop.
The token drives each layer of the economy: emissions reward builders and data providers, staking secures validators, gas powers transactions, the marketplace settles data payments, governance directs emission weights, buybacks tie revenue to token value, and the treasury supports long-term growth.
A 1 : 1 swap from $MASA to $GOAI will be announced soon, with both exchange and on-chain options — no new supply, no hidden mints, only migration into Gopher’s new Layer-1 economy.
