DGrid AI2026-09-19 06:33:34DGrid AI Arena launches Points-to-DGAI redemption systemDecentralized AI infrastructure project DGrid AI said its community-led model evaluation platform, DGrid AI Arena, has rolled out a Points-to-$DGAI redemption mechanism. The update lets users earn points by taking part in AI model evaluations and convert those points into DGAI, linking user participation with model feedback and ecosystem incentives. According to DGrid AI, the platform has drawn more than 570,000 users since launch and recorded over 2.5 million model evaluation votes. AI Arena uses an anonymous head-to-head model comparison format, where users review two AI-generated outputs and pick the better answer. The company said this process helps build evaluation data from real-world use cases. DGrid added that by collecting user preference signals across different tasks, AI Arena can better identify how models perform in specific scenarios and improve model selection and routing. The project’s native token, DGAI, was previously listed on Binance Alpha as well as exchanges including OKX and Bybit.290

Bitget2026-08-31 09:31:16Bitget lists DGrid AI on PoolX with 83,000 DGAI rewards for XAUT lockersBitget has launched a new PoolX campaign featuring DGrid AI (DGAI), allowing users to lock XAUT to share an airdrop pool of 83,000 DGAI. The personal lock-up cap for the event is 300 XAUT. The lock-up window runs from 19:00 on Aug. 31 to 19:00 on Sept. 5, UTC+8. This round of PoolX also includes a long-term holding bonus mechanism, with the system granting extra weight to eligible locked amounts based on each user’s lowest XAUT balance over the previous 15 days. In addition, users whose net XAUT deposits remain positive during the campaign can receive a 3% XAUT interest-rate coupon after the event ends. First-time PoolX participants who also meet the net deposit requirement can receive a 12% XAUT interest-rate coupon.920
DGrid2026-08-27 09:21:33DGrid launches validator nodes to extend PoQ into an economically weighted AI verification networkDGrid said it launched validator nodes on Aug. 25, 2026, framing the move as an upgrade to how trust is established in AI infrastructure rather than a routine product addition. The company’s system centers on PoQ, short for Proof of Quality, a verification mechanism it says is used to audit the quality of model services across its network. With validator nodes now live, that process is no longer described only at the protocol level. It is carried out continuously by network participants and linked to staking through operating weight. According to DGrid’s description, validator nodes send randomized blind-test requests to LLM providers, simulate production-like usage instead of relying on fixed benchmarks, score outputs across quality, latency, stability and format compliance, and then write the results on-chain. The stated goal is to detect cases in which a provider’s real service diverges from what it claims to offer, including model substitution, degraded service tiers or opaque routing. DGrid also ties the system to $DGAI staking. Users can delegate tokens to validator nodes, and stake affects each node’s operating weight inside the network. DGrid’s staking page shows that 48 hours after validator nodes went live, total staked volume had exceeded 26M $DGAI, with nearly 10,000 users participating. The broader architecture described by DGrid includes an AI Gateway, a Model Marketplace, PoQ-based verification, validator-node execution and staking-based economic security.970
DGAI2026-08-25 16:02:40DGAI Jumps Nearly 93% on First Day, Giving It a $110 Million Market CapDGrid AI’s native token DGAI nearly doubled on its first day of trading. The token changed hands at about $0.73 on Tuesday, up nearly 93% over the past 24 hours, with a market cap of about $110 million and more than $165 million in trading volume. DGrid AI is expanding a decentralized AI network, and it also sold more than 140 DClaw Boxes in a matter of hours. Each unit was priced at 1,580 USDT, bringing in more than 221,000 USDT. The network uses a “Proof of Quality” mechanism, and node operators must stake DGAI to participate.930
DGrid AI2026-08-25 15:53:05DGrid AI token DGAI nearly doubles on debut as decentralized inference network expandsDGrid AI’s native token, DGAI, surged in its first day of trading as the project pushed ahead with its decentralized AI inference network and hardware rollout. CoinGecko data showed DGAI trading at about $0.73 on Tuesday, up nearly 93% over the past 24 hours, with a market capitalization of roughly $110 million and trading volume above $165 million. The token sits at the center of DGrid’s network design, where it is used for payments, staking and node rewards. According to the project’s litepaper, AI requests are routed across models hosted by distributed nodes, while a "Proof of Quality" mechanism is used to assess results. Node operators stake DGAI to provide computing resources and can earn token rewards, while poor performance or misconduct can trigger penalties. DGrid also told Cointelegraph that it sold more than 140 DClaw Boxes within a few hours at 1,580 USDT each, totaling more than 221,000 USDT in sales. The physical devices are built to run DGrid’s DClaw personal AI agent through a decentralized network of independently operated nodes instead of a single centralized provider.940
DGrid AI2026-08-25 08:05:40DGrid AI completes TGE as DGAI lists on major exchanges and hits $0.85 within 12 hoursDecentralized AI infrastructure network DGrid AI completed its token generation event at 16:00 yesterday, with its native token DGAI going live at the same time on OKX Boost, Gate, Bitget, KuCoin, Kraken, MEXC, and PancakeSwap, according to ChainCatcher. CoinMarketCap data shows the token opened at $0.1 and climbed to as high as $0.85 within 12 hours of listing, marking an 8.5x increase from its opening price. As of 16:00 today, DGAI was quoted at $0.72, giving it a fully diluted valuation of about $720 million. DGAI is the native token of the decentralized AI network DGrid and is used for node staking, AI service payments, ecosystem incentives, and governance.1170
DGrid AI2026-08-25 07:54:41DGrid AI to Launch Validator Nodes and DGAI Staking at 16:00 TodayDecentralized AI infrastructure network DGrid AI said it will launch validator nodes and DGAI staking at 16:00 today. Users will be able to stake DGAI with either a 180-day or 360-day unlock period, with annualized yields set at 60% and 90%, respectively. Stakers must delegate their tokens to a selected validator node, and rewards will begin accruing after staking is completed. DGrid AI said its validator nodes will run a PoQ, or Proof of Quality, verification program to continuously assess all LLM Providers on the network. The review covers output quality, response latency, stability, and format compliance, with results recorded on-chain and used in incentive allocation. The company said the system is designed to help ensure users access reliable AI model services. DGrid AI also noted that it completed its token generation event, or TGE, on Aug. 24. DGAI is now listed on OKXBoost, Kraken, Bitget, Gate, KuCoin, MEXC, and PancakeSwap. The token has a total supply of 1 billion, with 50% allocated to node network operations and node incentives.1110
