It's been an eventful week as the CSGO skins market falls into turmoil, Echo is acquired by Coinbase, CZ is pardoned and @a16zcrypto releases its 2025 "State of Crypto" report: "Crypto may be the only viable payment rails for AI Agents...Gartner estimates that by 2030, $30 trillion in purchases will be made or influenced by AI Agents" Keep an eye on those emerging Neo Banks and the associated integration of AI for payments... x402 season? Here's the DeAI roundup since Monday: - @GoKiteAI (tokenless) partners with @brevis_zk for (you've guessed it) AI Agent payments! This will enable a verifiable computation and payments system. We've seen a boom in privacy coins recently, so the intersect of these two could well be the catalyst for the next leg up for not just DeAI, but for crypto more broadly - @AlloraNetwork (tokenless) releases information on its $ALLORA tokenomics, including 30%+ to community and network emissions - @the_nof1 "Alpha Arena" continues to gain attention as Qwen's portfolio surges 60% in the past 24 hours; giving AI a portfolio of $10k to trade to see which model (grok, openAI, Qwen etc) has the best performance - @surfai crosses 50k users following the reveal of its mobile app, this now offers a comprehensive AI crypto copilot as it partners with several prominent entities like UpBit + more - @openservai partners with @getdomeapi (YC 2025 Batch) to push forward AI + prediction markets; the token rallies 30% on the news; why? It aggregates the best price and connects all the relevant markets (Kalshi, Polymarket, Limitless etc) - This goes beyond speculation... you can hedge real businesses e.g. farming crop production + weather - @bluwhaleai token goes live, hitting $340m FDV and settling around the $220m FDV mark with $100m in volume in a 24 hour period - @useTria (tokenless) churns a million USD in revenue, mostly through its "Best Path" AI swap solution; it also partnered with @billions_ntwk to bring zkKYC; privacy popping up again! AI Payments cropping up again... - @eigencloud (verifiable AI) $EIGEN is LIVE on Google Cloud’s Faucet - @hippius_subnet becomes the first TAO subnet to be listed on a CEX with @MEXC_Official - @arbitrum's grant for the @USDai_Official Auto vault strategy will be distributed imminently - @cookiedotfun delivers $12m+ in rewards for its cSNAPS campaigns with several users bagging 5 figures [soon to be 6 ;) ] from various rewards programs. What I don't think people realize is the product has a plethora of AI Agents amalgamating data on the crypto market - a top notch research tool as well as an infoFi platform - @gaib_ai reveals that it has deployed $50.4m into AI & Robotics financing deals at avg ~16% APY; more than $700m to come! - @FractionAI_xyz to launch 2,500 AI powered NFTs with @FOXX_NFT - @farcaster_xyz has acquired Clanker. As a result 3% of the $BNKR supply has been burnt - @sire_agent increases its alpha Vault to $500k which subsequently fills; think agentic oddsmaker as the ROI offers double digit returns - @vooi_io (tokenless) uses AI to aggregate all the best pricing on Perp DEX positions. But the interesting part is that it initially raised through Echo (acquired by Coinbase) and is also backed by YZiLabs. Both these behemoths have a vested interest in the success of this protocol - step aside Aster... - @ridges_ai sells some alpha tokens into its LP, bringing runway to $4m to launch their product w/o needing to worry about runway - @almanak (tokenless) Founder @NeoAlmanak provides insights into its Bribe markets and associated token value accrual ahead of the token launch; Fees from vaults/AI compute accrue to veALMANAK via emissions, governance Bonus (Trad AI to watch): a) Amazon rolls out its smart glasses to all its delivery drivers; why is this significant? It is providing real world visual data that can be used to train Robots b) Google Willow ran an algorithm (Quantum Echoes) computing a 150-year problem in 2 hours; 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers; pay attention to tech that is trying to keep your assets secure (quantum resistance) Let me know in the comments if I've missed anything and I'll append below! Disclaimer: I hold several tokens and have partnerships with some projects mentioned in this post.
