# 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
