# Dataset Registry & Tokenization

Welcome to the Dataset Registration Guide — the foundation of [Sahara AI](https://saharaai.com/)’s SIWA Testnet launch!

This guide will walk you through how to upload a dataset, register it on-chain, and mint an ownership NFT (non-transferable) that establishes provenance and control over your AI asset. By participating in this first phase, you’re helping shape a new standard for AI asset ownership on the Sahara Network, where datasets become verifiable, tradeable, and sovereign.

Let’s get started!

### Step 1: Access the [Developer Portal](https://portal.saharalabs.ai/main/explore) and Click Register AI Assets

### Step 3. Input your dataset information and create a storage folder for your asset

### Step 4: Register your dataset on SIWA Testnet (select "Top Up" if you don't have sufficient funds for gas fees).&#x20;

### Step 5: Approve the transaction in the wallet pop-up and wait for the minting process to be complete

### Step 6: Once the minting is complete, review the detailed fields associated with your asset&#x20;
