A New Era in Mobility and AI


In 2024, Soarchain transformed from an ambitious idea into a real, global network—launching our Soarchain Mainnet and introducing our first wave of Mobility GPT solutions for the automotive sector. Along the way, we established Soarchain as the go-to data and connectivity layer for AI innovators worldwide, showcasing exactly why AI needs Soarchain more than ever before.

Whether you’re talking about predictive maintenance for vehicles, advanced route optimization, or the next generation of real-time safety alerts, high-quality domain-specific data is non-negotiable. Yet across industries, data scarcity is stalling AI’s full potential—especially in mobility. This year, Soarchain set out to change that.



Why AI Needs Soarchain


The Data Bottleneck

Industry experts say the biggest bottleneck to AI innovation is a lack of high-fidelity, contextual data in large quantities. While 77% of modern devices incorporate some form of AI, the mobility sector faces a profound data shortage. According to recent market analyses, the global AI in mobility market, valued at $5.89 billion in 2023, could skyrocket to $337.27 billion by 2033. Yet AI models can only be as good as the data they train on.

Even the most advanced neural networks require massive volumes of real-world data—especially data that’s diverse, verifiable, and regularly refreshed. That’s where Soarchain enters the picture: We solve AI’s data scarcity problem by enabling vehicles to share high-quality, continuously updated sensor information in real time.


DePIN and the Power of Mobility Data

Soarchain is a mobility-focused DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network) built atop the high-throughput Solana ecosystem. Our plug-and-play devices connect directly to a vehicle’s OBD2 port, capturing data such as speed, braking habits, engine health, and environmental conditions. This data is then securely verified through our Runner and Guardian nodes—ensuring authenticity, privacy, and trust.


No more stale or siloed data: Soarchain’s decentralized architecture lets vehicles, roads, and related infrastructure communicate as one large, living data stream—exactly what AI needs to operate effectively at scale.



2024 Highlights


1. Mainnet Launch: The Dawn of a New Mobility Network

After months of rigorous testnet trials, the Soarchain Mainnet officially went live in mid-2024. Vehicles worldwide can now:

  • Plug into Soarchain with minimal setup and begin streaming secure, verifiable data in real time.

  • Earn incentives for every contribution of verified road data, turning what was previously “wasted” vehicle telemetry into a real asset.

  • Access new applications in predictive maintenance, dynamic insurance, environmental monitoring, and much more.

Within months, our mainnet onboarded thousands of vehicles—ranging from individual drivers to entire commercial fleets—across multiple continents.


2. Introducing Soarchain Mobility GPT

In August, we unveiled Soarchain Mobility GPT, an AI-powered toolkit that integrates seamlessly with Soarchain’s real-time data pipeline. This large language model (LLM) is tailored for the automotive domain, capable of:

  • Real-Time Road Insights: Detecting hazards like potholes or risky driving patterns, then generating immediate alerts.

  • Adaptive Predictive Maintenance: Monitoring a vehicle’s performance data to predict mechanical failures before they happen.

  • Context-Aware Coaching: Recommending driving tips for efficiency and safety—tailored to individual road conditions and driver habits.

Because Mobility GPT is trained on Soarchain’s verified, domain-specific data, it can offer an unprecedented level of contextual accuracy and real-time reasoning for everyday drivers and fleet operators alike.


3. AI & DePIN: Bridging Two Revolutions

While AI adoption surges across industries, decentralized networks remain equally transformative. By merging the principles of DePIN with cutting-edge AI, Soarchain has built a network that’s:

  • Trustless: Data is verified at the protocol level, ensuring authenticity and reliability.

  • Scalable: Solana’s high throughput means we can handle the data demands of millions of vehicles.

  • Rewarding for Participants: Drivers become active stakeholders, monetizing their vehicle data in real-time while fueling AI applications that benefit everyone.


In 2024, we showcased pilot projects where city traffic lights, road sensors, and drones worked together with connected vehicles, collectively optimizing traffic flow and elevating safety. This synergy exemplifies how DePIN plus AI can tackle mobility challenges at a global scale.


4. Applied AI for Real-World Impact

From consumer vehicles to public transit fleets and trucking companies, applied AI has rapidly gained traction. Rather than focusing on abstract lab settings, Soarchain’s domain-specific approach yields tangible benefits:

  • Insurance Innovation: Pay-how-you-drive insurance policies give safe drivers better premiums while factoring in actual, verified driving patterns.

  • Smarter Cities: Municipalities reduce congestion and carbon emissions by feeding Soarchain data into city-wide AI traffic management systems.

  • Enhanced Driver Safety: Soarchain’s Mobility GPT warns of upcoming hazards—icy roads, sudden braking events—enabling proactive responses that prevent collisions.



Looking Ahead: 2025 and Beyond


  1. Scaling Mainnet Adoption: We aim to onboard hundreds of thousands more vehicles globally, creating an even richer data pool for AI-driven mobility solutions.

  2. Expanding the Mobility GPT Ecosystem: Expect new AI-driven features—from multi-modal route planning to advanced anomaly detection.

  3. Strengthening Data Privacy & Quality: We’ll continue enhancing zero-knowledge proofs and node verification to maintain best-in-class data integrity.

  4. Global Partnerships: Our team is actively partnering with automotive OEMs, insurance companies, city infrastructures, and logistics providers to integrate Soarchain’s data services into everyday life.


Soarchain’s vision remains simple but far-reaching: We connect vehicles to the blockchain and funnel domain-specific data into AI solutions that truly change how we move, work, and live. We believe 2024 was the tipping point—proving that the best AI is not just about bigger models, but better data.
