Web3 AI is flourishing in multiple areas: Virtuals focuses on products while TAO showcases the potential of AI Bitcoin.
Important Developments and Trends in the Web3 AI Field This Week
With the improvement of the macroeconomic situation, the cryptocurrency market has迎来了新的高潮. Bitcoin has reached a historic high, and Ethereum has also broken through the $3000 mark, providing strong momentum for the "Ethereum beta" narrative, driving a collective rise of mainstream tokens in the Ethereum mainnet and various Layer 2 ecosystems.
The continuous influx of institutional funds has driven a long-term bullish sentiment for mainstream assets, although some investors remain cautious ahead of key economic data releases. Notably, in this market cycle, there is a more pronounced price correlation between Ethereum and altcoins, particularly AI-related altcoins.
Here are some important developments in the Web3 AI field:
1. Virtuals: From Trading Speculation to Product-Driven
The Virtuals ecosystem is developing rapidly and has attracted over 50,000 investors to participate in AI agent token investments. The project is working hard to convert its large community into product users, and the core product ACP (Collaborative Protocol between AI Agents) shows great potential.
However, the main challenge facing Virtuals is to develop a flagship product that can solve real problems and has high value and user stickiness. To this end, the project team is considering integrating external teams and creating a more flexible issuance mechanism to attract high-caliber development teams to join.
2. TAO: Showcasing the Potential of "AI Bitcoin"
In the past week, the price of TAO has risen by 30%, thanks to the market recovery, increased institutional adoption, and the benchmark effect of its "AI Bitcoin". Some core subnets have strongly rebounded from key support levels, showing a good development momentum.
3. Almanak: Points Program Launch
Almanak, as a leading project for scalable infrastructure in trading agents, has officially launched a points incentive program. This program will last until September 21, and the token issuance is also planned to start at the same time. Users can earn points rewards by performing various EV operations.
Almanak adopts a hybrid model of AI agent clusters and smart contracts, building a verifiable and auditable AI infrastructure for institutional users. This could herald a new era of DeFAI agents, achieving fully autonomous operation through AI technology.
4. StableAI: The rapid development of stablecoins supported by GPUs
USD.AI, as a GPU-supported stablecoin project, is still in the internal testing phase but has accumulated over $35 million in TVL. The project recently deployed its first batch of GPU server staking services, with an annualized yield of up to 15%. Its reserve fund allocation strategy balances security and profitability, and the products soon to be made public may also launch a points incentive program.
5. Attention Capital Markets: Emerging Trends
Kaito and Cookie are planning the launch of the attention capital market. Users can determine their token allocation in the project's funding rounds by holding platform points and staking tokens. This model is expected to bring new development opportunities to the InfoFi track.
6. Other Updates
Summary
The current market environment is becoming healthier, with more focus on real products and infrastructure development. Various projects are striving to develop practical products, enhance user experiences, and explore new business models. This seems to indicate that we are entering a builder's window period, preparing for the next potential market boom. For investors, closely monitoring the development trends of these projects and making strategic arrangements in a timely manner may be a wise move at this stage.
