# Marketplace Glossary

#### AI Asset

A dataset, model, or agent that can be registered, shared, reused, or monetized on the Sahara AI Marketplace.

#### Agent

A deployable AI application—like a chatbot or automation tool—built using models and datasets.

#### Attribution Graph

The on-chain system that tracks how assets are reused or built on, ensuring upstream contributors receive royalties for downstream usage.

#### Commercial Remix License

Allows full commercial use and remixing of an asset, with automatic revenue sharing to the original creator and contributors.

#### ContributionNFT

A non-transferable token representing your contribution to an asset (e.g., data labeling or model fine-tuning), used to calculate royalty shares.

#### Dataset

A structured data collection (e.g. text, CSV, images) used to train or inform AI models or agents.

#### LicenseNFT

A smart contract-based license that defines how an asset can be used—commercially, non-commercially, or freely—and automates royalty payments.

#### Marketplace

The core platform where users can browse, license, use, and (soon) monetize AI assets like datasets, models, and agents.

#### Model

A pre-trained or fine-tuned machine learning model—including LLMs—available for use, integration, or further development.

#### Monetization

The ability to earn revenue through usage, licensing, or remixing of your registered AI assets (launching post-July 2025).

#### Open Use License

A license that allows anyone to freely use, remix, or distribute an asset without payment.

#### OwnershipNFT

A blockchain-registered token proving original authorship and ownership of an asset, enabling participation in revenue distribution.

#### Remix / Derivative

Creating a new asset based on an existing one—such as training a model using a registered dataset or embedding a model in an agent.

#### Smart Contract

Self-executing blockchain code that enforces licensing, logs usage, and automates royalty payouts.

#### Testnet

The current staging environment (Siwa Testnet) for experimentation. Monetization and real asset ownership will go live on mainnet post-July 2025.

#### Wallet

A crypto wallet (e.g. MetaMask) used to manage asset registration, ownership, and receive payments on the platform.
