Catenaa, Tuesday, February 24, 2026- HTX and AINFT have launched a joint AI Challenge campaign with a 40,000 USDT prize pool, aiming to expand Web3-native access to leading artificial intelligence models.
The campaign runs through March 13 at 08:00 UTC and requires users to connect a TronLink wallet, complete AI tasks on AINFT and fulfill trading requirements on HTX.
AINFT positions itself as a Web3 gateway to major large language models, integrating tools such as Claude Opus 4.5, ChatGPT-5.2 and Gemini 3 Pro. Users can access the platform through wallet-based authentication without email registration.
New users receive one million free points for AI usage. After the quota is exhausted, payments can be made using TRON-based assets including TRX and stablecoins. The platform’s TRC20 token, NFT, grants a 20% bonus in points when used for payment.
The AI Challenge allocates 13,000 USDT across tiered rewards tied to wallet participation, early access and deposit-based draws. An additional 27,000 USDT is reserved for HTX users who submit their exchange ID and meet spot or futures trading thresholds.
Founded in 2013 and formerly known as Huobi, HTX said the initiative reflects growing convergence between AI computing services and blockchain-based payment rails.
The companies described the partnership as a practical test case for integrating decentralized identity, crypto payments and AI infrastructure within a single Web3 environment.
