Against the backdrop of continuous breakthroughs in global AI technologies and the ongoing maturation of Web3 infrastructure, the convergence of AI and the crypto ecosystem is entering an entirely new phase. Recently, HTX announced a major collaborative campaign with AINFT—“AI Challenge”—with a total prize pool of $40,000 USDT. Leveraging innovative mechanisms and multi-tiered subsidies, the campaign invites users worldwide to experience the next generation of Web3 AI.

AINFT: Your Web3 AI Gateway

AINFT is an innovative large language model (LLM) aggregation platform dedicated to building a permissionless, seamless Web3 AI entry point. Users need neither email registration nor KYC verification—simply signing in via TronLink wallet enables one-click login and true on-chain identity access. AINFT has integrated top-tier paid models including Claude Opus 4.5, ChatGPT-5.2, and Gemini Pro 3.0, offering a one-stop solution for diverse use cases such as dialogue, content creation, and reasoning.

To lower barriers to entry, AINFT grants each new user a one-time allocation of 1 million free points, enabling immediate access to these premium models without any upfront deposit. Once the free quota is exhausted, users can make small, on-demand top-ups using TRON-based assets—including USDT, USDD, USD1, TRX, and NFTs. $NFT, AINFT’s official TRC20 token, offers an additional 20% bonus in points when used for payment—delivering a truly “top-up-as-you-go, no subscription required” invocation model.

$40,000 USDT Prize Pool: Multiple Subsidies for AINFT Participation—Season Two Now Live

The campaign runs from now until March 13 at 16:00 (UTC+8). Due to overwhelming market response during Season One, Season Two has launched early—with its $4,000 USDT season prize pool already unlocked. The total reward pool for this “AI Challenge” stands at $40,000 USDT: $13,000 USDT is awarded by AINFT to all participants, while HTX provides an exclusive $27,000 USDT boost exclusively for its platform users. To participate, users must first log in to the AINFT official website and connect their TronLink wallet → then complete the designated form to register their HTX UID and TronLink wallet address → finally complete both AINFT challenge tasks and HTX platform trading requirements. Rewards will be distributed within 14 business days after each season concludes.

AINFT Challenge: Share in the $13,000 USDT Prize Pool

During the campaign period, users who log in to the AINFT official website and complete challenge tasks become eligible for the following three prize pools:

1. Inflationary Bonus Pack: The prize pool unlocks progressively per season based on the number of verified community wallet addresses connected. Larger address volumes yield higher overall rewards. If the season’s threshold for verified addresses is met (currently, Season Two is live, with a minimum of 5,000 addresses), the full $7,000 USDT inflationary prize pool will be unlocked.

2. Early-Bird Bonus Pack: The first 500 users per season who successfully connect their TronLink wallet to AINFT and claim their initial points qualify as “Early Birds,” granting them eligibility to share in the season’s exclusive Early-Bird prize pool. Each season, 25 winners are selected, each receiving $20 USDT.

3. Top-Up Bonus Pack: Users who make any top-up during the campaign automatically qualify for a raffle to win shares of a $500 USDT prize pool. Twenty winners will be drawn, each receiving $25 USDT.

Ecosystem Synergy: A Deep Integration Sample of AI × Crypto

This joint campaign represents a practical scenario integration of large language model capabilities and crypto-native payment systems. By leveraging crypto assets, it enables seamless access to global computing resources—including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini—marking a critical step toward decentralized and on-chain AI services.

At the product level, AINFT integrates world-class AI compute power into Web3 environments via on-chain identity and crypto payment infrastructure—delivering a tangible implementation of a “decentralized AI gateway.” At the ecosystem level, AINFT’s collaboration with HTX and the TRON ecosystem fosters a real-world application loop linking AI compute power and crypto assets.

As demand for AI compute continues to surge and crypto payment infrastructures mature, decentralized AI gateways may well become a foundational component of next-generation Web3 infrastructure.

The strategic partnership between HTX and AINFT reflects precisely this forward-looking vision. Moving ahead, HTX will continue collaborating with top-tier ecosystem partners to build a more open, efficient, and sustainable Web3 innovation network—delivering digital assets and application experiences with greater foresight and long-term value potential to users worldwide.
