The new platform, backed by Chinese city Shenzen, is expected to rely on AI to automatically collate large swathes of data from machine learning researchers on every corner of the globe.
Shenzhen-based companies single-handedly accounted for $7.3 million in transaction volumes out of the $22 million made by the four participating countries, according to reports.
The airdrop is a joint effort with Meituan Dianping, one of China's leading food delivery apps, according to a statement from Shenzhen authorities.
Tencent’s blockchain platform for the Chinese city of Shenzhen has already been put to great use.
