Overview of Popular Tokens Driven by AI Agents and DeSci

In the past six months, two emerging forces, AI Agents and DeSci, have stirred up a wave in the market. From a narrative perspective, AI Agents focus on their immense potential in autonomous decision-making, data analysis, and task execution, excelling at solving problems through algorithms. DeSci, on the other hand, is dedicated to breaking down traditional barriers in scientific research by utilizing blockchain technology to achieve data sharing and transparency, promoting decentralized knowledge sharing and research funding. This article will summarize and consolidate the currently prominent and potential AI Agent and DeSci related Tokens.

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. It can perceive the environment, plan actions, execute tasks, and learn from experience to improve, achieving specific goals without human intervention. For example, it can automatically monitor data, analyze anomalies, and make corresponding decisions. The key features of an AI Agent are autonomy and goal orientation.

Data shows that the current trend of AI development is similar to the early stage of the DeFi boom in 2020-2021. Industry insiders have made some projections for the development of AI Agents by 2025, including the need for AI agents to have independent wallets, the emergence of decentralized autonomous chatbots, and an increasing demand for proof of the uniqueness of different AI personalities as the use of AI becomes more widespread.

1.2 Popular AI Agent Token

The following are some popular AI Agent tokens ranked by consumer mind share:

• AIXBT: Market capitalization of $550 million, focused on tracking hot discussions on crypto Twitter and identifying strong narratives.

• Virtuals: Market value of 4 billion USD, launched the Initial Token Offering (IAO) model, allowing users to generate new AI agents by locking tokens.

• AI16Z: With a market value of $2 billion, it is a decentralized DAO that possesses multiple related Tokens and an open-source AI agent framework.

• Fartcoin: Market cap of $900 million, located in the Solana ecosystem, allows users to submit fart jokes in exchange for Tokens.

• Luna: Market value of $140 million, an AI virtual person with its own wallet.

• Bully: Market cap of 72 million USD, representing a witty and outspoken AI character.

1.3 AI Agent Market Analysis

The current AI Agent boom in on-chain data resembles the state before the DeFi surge in 2020-2021. Base and Solana have become the main battlegrounds, with high performance and high speculation being key factors for supporting AI Agents. Notable AI project directions 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, we can predict the policy tendencies and execution intensity of political figures in the cryptocurrency field.

The data transparency of blockchain provides a solid foundation for the development of AI. The on-chain opportunities for AI Agents include both short-term speculation and the trend of long-term value investment. Current market speculation is mainly based on the following points:

1. The continuous rise of AI16Z drives the overall market sentiment of AI Agents.

2. The AI Agent's spontaneous iterative evolution leads to the automation of project progression.

3. Market trend analysis tools similar to AIXBT are recognized.

4. Virtuals achieved success through a model similar to Pump.fun

5. The market maturity of AI virtual humans and AI works in non-cryptocurrency fields is improving.

2. The Life Sciences Revolution of DeSci

2.1 Overview of DeSci

DeSci (Decentralized Science) is a model for building a fair and equitable scientific research infrastructure using Web3 technology. It aims to address issues in scientific research such as peer review, funding, intellectual property management, and data transparency and scrutiny mechanisms. DeSci attempts to introduce the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies into the non-speculative field of scientific research.

Although the concept of DeSci emerged as early as 2021, it was only recently, after a well-known exchange invested in and launched the BIO Protocol, and industry leaders participated in DeSci-themed conferences, that it regained market attention.

Introduction to 2.2 BIO Protocol

BIO Protocol is a decentralized curation and liquidity protocol in the field of science, aimed at providing resource support for scientific research projects and promoting innovation in research. The core components of the protocol include BioDAO, a curation system, intellectual property tokenization and liquidity mechanisms, as well as incentive systems.

The BIO Protocol has successfully launched 7 sub-DAOs, with another 3 currently in development. The launched sub-DAOs include:

• VITA: Focused on early longevity science research
• ATH: Focused on women's reproductive health research
• GROW: Focused on anti-aging drugs and longevity projects
• PSY: Focus on psychedelic science research
• HAIR: Committed to solving the hair loss problem.
• CRYO: Promoting research in the field of cryopreservation
• NEURON: Committed to brain health research

The sub-DAOs under development include Long Covid Labs, QuantumBioDAO, and Curetopia.

2.3 PumpScience platform

PumpScience is a DeSci platform in the Solana ecosystem, issuing Meme Tokens that represent pharmaceuticals on Pump.fun. Related concept tokens include:

• RIF: Represents Rifampicin, an antibiotic with anti-aging effects.
• URO: Represents uric acid A, which helps with cellular mitochondrial renewal.
• TRACKEDBIO: Committed to improving drug development efficiency

2.4 Other DeSci related Tokens

• Scihub: Unofficial Token that supports open-source research paper websites.
• ANTI and PRO: Quantum Entanglement Combined Tokens, expressing different attitudes towards Meme Tokens.
• WORM: The first on-chain digital brain project
• GENOME: Gene Data Project
• GALEON: Innovating electronic health record management using blockchain technology
• DRUGS: Medical and Pharmaceutical Meme Token
• RSC: Rewarding scientists for publicly sharing academic content

Conclusion

AI Agents and DeSci, as emerging fields, are primarily driven by Meme forms in the current market, but their fundamental attributes differ from traditional Memes. AI Agents rely more on technological support and need to break through from within; DeSci, on the other hand, requires external influence to push it forward. In an environment with insufficient market innovation, although these two concepts did not emerge in 2024, after a year of development, AI Agents and DeSci may still become major points of speculation in the next bull market.
