AI Agents and DeSci: The Rise and Prospects of Emerging Hotspots

In the past six months, AI Agents and DeSci have become emerging hotspots in the market. From a narrative perspective, AI Agents focus on the potential for autonomous decision-making, data analysis, and task execution, while DeSci is dedicated to leveraging blockchain technology to promote decentralized knowledge sharing and research funding. This article will summarize the currently prominent tokens related to AI Agents and DeSci.

1. The Wave of Intelligence in AI Agents

1.1 Overview of AI Agent

An AI Agent is an intelligent system that possesses autonomy and goal orientation, capable of perceiving the environment, planning actions, executing tasks, and learning from experience to improve. Its key features are autonomy and goal orientation. The current trend in AI is similar to the DeFi boom of 2020-2021, and it is expected that future AI agents will need independent wallets. Decentralized autonomous chatbots may emerge, and with the widespread use of AI, there may be a need for unique proofs of different AI personalities.

1.2 Popular AI Agent Tokens

• AIXBT: Tracks hot discussions on crypto Twitter, identifying potential narratives and games.
• Virtuals: Generate new AI agents by locking $VIRTUAL to form a liquidity pool.
• AI16Z: Permissionless DAO, holding ai16z and degenai tokens.
• Fartcoin: Allows users to submit fart jokes and memes in exchange for tokens.
• Zerebro: An autonomous AI agent focused on artistic creation and content generation.
• Griffain: Built on Solana, simplifying the interaction between users and cryptocurrencies.
• SNAI: The token of the SwarmNode.ai proxy platform's cloud server protocol.
• GOAT: A Meme coin trained by an AI platform.
• ARC: AI concept token, representing the concept of AI infrastructure.
• TRISIG: A self-proclaimed crypto analyst capable of identifying early alpha projects.
• ALCH: No-code application generation platform that quickly generates applications using AI capabilities.
• Spore.fun: Experimental autonomous breeding AI evolution platform.
• VADER: Aims to be an AI-powered investment DAO manager.
• Luna: An AI agent with its own wallet, capable of autonomously receiving and sending tokens.
• Bully: A token representing a witty and outspoken AI character.

1.3 AI Agent Development Trends

The current AI Agent boom shows a similar trend in on-chain data as the DeFi surge before it took off in 2020-2021. Base and Solana have become the main battlegrounds, with high performance and high speculation being key. Important areas to watch include computing power, infrastructure, memes, launch platforms, and applications.

The application of AI Agents in actual data analysis is more valuable. For example, by analyzing on-chain and market data, it is possible to predict the attitudes and policy trends of political figures in the cryptocurrency sector.

The data transparency of blockchain provides a good environment for AI development. The on-chain opportunities for AI Agents are both guided by Fomo and a trend outlook for value investment. Currently, the market speculation is mainly based on the following points:

1. The continuous rally of AI16Z drives the overall market sentiment for AI Agents.
2. The spontaneous iterative evolution of AI Agents
3. Class AIXBT projects provide high-quality market analysis
4. Virtuals achieve success through innovative models.
5. AI virtual humans and AI creations are opening up new markets in non-cryptocurrency sectors.

2. DeSci's Innovations in Life Sciences

2.1 Introduction to DeSci

DeSci (Decentralized Science) aims to build a fair and equitable scientific research infrastructure through Web3 technology, addressing issues such as peer review, funding, and intellectual property management in scientific research. Recently, Binance Labs invested in and launched BIO Protocol, and the participation of CZ and Vitalik in a DeSci-themed conference has brought renewed market attention to this field.

Overview of the 2.2 BioDAO Protocol

BIO Protocol is a curation and liquidity protocol in the DeSci field, initially invested in by Binance Labs. Its core components include BioDAO, curation system, intellectual property tokenization and liquidity mechanisms, as well as incentive systems. Currently, 7 sub-DAOs have been successfully launched, with 3 more under development.

The launched sub-DAOs include:

• VITA: Focused on early longevity science research
• ATH: Focus on women's reproductive health research
• GROW: Anti-aging drugs and longevity project platform
• PSY: Focus on psychedelic scientific research
• HAIR: Committed to solving hair loss issues.
• CRYO: Promoting cryopreservation research
• NEURON: Committed to brain health research

The sub-DAOs under development include:

• Long Covid Labs: Research on Long-term Effects of COVID-19
• QuantumBioDAO: Quantum Biology Research
• Curetopia: Genetic Disease Research

2.3 PumpScience Platform

The Meme launch platform Pump.science launched by the Solana ecosystem DeSci platform Molecule DAO issues Meme tokens representing pharmaceuticals on Pump.fun, including:

• RIF: Represents Rifampicin, an antibiotic with anti-aging properties.
• URO: Stands for Urinary Stone A, which helps with the cell's "spring cleaning".
• TRACKEDBIO: Committed to enhancing the translational efficiency of drugs from preclinical research to clinical trials.

2.4 Other DeSci-related projects

• Scihub: Unofficial token supporting open-source research paper website
• ANTI and PRO: Quantum Entanglement Combination Tokens, expressing support and opposition to Meme Tokens.
• WORM: The first on-chain digital brain that simulates the neural network of the Caenorhabditis elegans.
• GENOME: A genomic data project focused on the secure monetization of genomic data.
• GALEON: Revolutionizing electronic health record management using blockchain technology
• DRUGS: A medical and pharmaceutical Meme coin aimed at disrupting traditional large pharmaceutical companies.
• RSC: Tokenized social network that rewards scientists for publicly sharing academic content.

Conclusion: The Future Development of AI Agents and DeSci

Although AI Agent and DeSci are currently still primarily driven by memes, their fundamental attributes are different from other meme logics:

1. Technical support: Compared to pure memes, AI Agents and DeSci are more in line with the Kondratieff cycle of commodity economy, requiring technical support.

2. Breaking the circle: DeSci needs to break the circle externally, relying on influential real-world figures; AI Agent needs to break the circle internally, focusing on practicality and fun.

3. Growth Logic: The DeSci track has yet to see a leading player with a market value of 1 billion; growth requires projects like BIO Protocol to drive it; the AI Agent needs to continuously iterate on its gameplay.

Overall, the AI Agent focuses on the value investment trend of blockchain + AI, with stronger potential for going mainstream; DeSci benefits from the attention and investment of industry leaders. In an environment lacking market innovation, AI Agent and DeSci are expected to become the main points of speculation in this bull market.
