Onicai has announced a limited release of 10 new mAIner slots as it prepares for the launch of onicai SNS, with the additional capacity intended to support activity across its AI network and expand participation within the platform.
The project said the release will be kept intentionally small, with the new mAIners allocated through a reverse auction. Under that process, the final price will be determined by community participation rather than a fixed sale price, allowing bidders to influence the outcome of the sale.
According to the announcement, the expansion is aimed at increasing available mAIning capacity ahead of the next phase of the network’s development. The company said the limited number of slots reflects feedback from the community, with the sale designed to add capacity while maintaining a measured rollout.
The announcement places the release in the context of the forthcoming onicai SNS launch, which is expected to introduce a broader framework for community participation and network activity. While details remain limited, the company said the additional mAIners are intended to help prepare the network for future demand.
onicai also confirmed that an AI Task Board is in development. The company said mAIners are expected to provide infrastructure support as agentic AI tasks begin operating across the network, with increased capacity intended to support a larger volume of computational work.
The project described the relationship between network capacity and agentic AI activity as a key part of its next stage of development. As more AI tasks are introduced, the role of mAIners is expected to become increasingly tied to the network’s ability to process and support those workloads.
The announcement did not include a launch date for the AI Task Board or further technical details about how the new mAIner capacity will be integrated. It also did not specify the timetable for the reverse auction or the criteria that will govern participation.
Limited releases of network participation slots are often used by emerging AI and decentralised technology projects to expand infrastructure gradually while testing demand and community engagement. The effectiveness of that approach generally depends on sustained network activity and the practical use of the infrastructure being added.
onicai said further information about the reverse auction, the SNS launch and the AI Task Board will be released in the coming weeks as the project moves closer to its next phase.
