In a groundbreaking move, blockchain start-up Bluwhale has launched the Bluwhale Node Challenge, a competition between two major Web 3.0 exchanges, OKX Web 3.0 and Gate Web 3.0, to see which can sell 1,000 nodes first. The competition is set to kick off on December 12, 2024, at 2:00 a.m. PST, with the winning exchange receiving 1,000 free nodes to distribute to its members.

Bluwhale, a Web 3.0 platform that leverages mobile devices for data, storage, and computing, has already made significant strides in decentralizing AI through its node sales. The platform's master nodes, launched in November 2024, sold out within 48 hours. With the recent introduction of common nodes, priced at $50-$60, Bluwhale is now taking a huge step towards making node sales more accessible to retail investors.

According to Bluwhale's co-founder and CEO, Han Jin, the platform aims to decentralize AI through nodes on mobile devices and has partnered with OKX and Gate Web 3.0 to make this vision a reality. With the Bluwhale Node Challenge, the platform is seeking to accelerate this process and democratize AI by empowering individuals to participate with their smartphones. As a result, over 100,000 people from 32 countries have already expressed interest in viewing and participating in the competition.

The competition is part of Bluwhale's broader goal to build a vast AI network that contextualizes cross-chain and off-chain information. Powered by millions of mobile devices acting as nodes, the platform aims to enhance decentralized applications' smart functionalities, amplify user acquisition, and increase market penetration through decentralized AI. While the competition is underway, OKX has announced its largest-ever trading campaign, "Ticket to Paradise," with a whopping 2.6M USDT prize pool. The campaign offers a grand prize of 150K USDT, equivalent to a luxury villa, alongside 2.35M USDT in partner rewards.

In related news, OKX has also launched a separate wallet campaign, "Paradise Calling," with a 250K USDT reward pool. The campaign runs from December 13, 2024, to January 9, 2025, and features weekly token campaigns in partnership with leading memecoin projects.

The Bluwhale Node Challenge is poised to reshape the landscape of decentralized AI, and its success will significantly impact the decentralized finance space. As the competition unfolds, it will be interesting to see which exchange emerges victorious and takes home the coveted 1,000 free nodes to distribute to its members.
