PublicAI, the San Francisco-based AI training data platform building the human layer of AI, has closed its CoinList public token sale with $2M raised and demand that blew past expectations. The sale was oversubscribed, surpassing their initial targets.
 
This public sale follows PublicAI’s $10M institutional round backed by top-tier investors, including Stanford Blockchain Accelerator (BBF), Solana Foundation, and NEAR Foundation pushing their total up to $12M.
 
How the Sale Worked The CoinList event used a “fill-from-the-bottom” model, designed to give smaller participants first priority. The initial target was $2M at a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $70M. Once the allocation filled, remaining entries were distributed via lottery, with refunds issued to those who didn’t secure a slot.
 
TGE Coming to Binance Alpha Soon PublicAI’s token generation event is scheduled for 15th August 2025 and will launch on Binance Alpha, with listings planned across major exchanges to follow.
 
The Human Layer of AI History shows that every major technological leap reshapes the way we work. In 2018, 60% of existing jobs didn’t exist before 1940. But this time, we’re not just dealing with a new tool; we’re facing systems that learn and adapt. PublicAI’s mission is clear: create a future where humans work with AI, not be replaced by it. By fairly compensating millions of contributors for high-quality training data, PublicAI is building a symbiotic human–AI ecosystem that strengthens both sides.
 
PublicAI Joins Chainlink Build
PublicAI also extends human-validated intelligence beyond AI into the oracle layer, together with Chainlink they plan to deliver high-integrity data to any blockchain. This collaboration allows PublicAI to pioneer a new vertical: Intelligence Feeds backed by human consensus.
 
Standing Among Giants CoinList has hosted some of the most iconic token sales in history, including Solana’s $1.6M raise in 2020 at $0.20 per token. PublicAI, which was backed by Solana at a very early stage, is now making its own mark as the first AI project on CoinList in 2025. Its oversubscribed sale puts it in rare company and signals strong market belief in its mission and model.
