AI Agent and DeSci: Overview of Emerging Trends and Popular Tokens

Introduction

In the past half year, 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 aims to leverage blockchain technology to promote decentralized scientific research and knowledge sharing. This article will summarize the currently prominent AI Agent and DeSci related Tokens.

1. The Intelligent Trend of AI Agents

1.1 Overview of AI Agent

AI Agent is an intelligent system with autonomy and goal-oriented capabilities, able to perceive the environment, plan actions, execute tasks, and learn from experience to improve, achieving specific goals without human intervention. Its key features are autonomy and goal-orientedness.

Data shows that the current trend of AI is similar to the initial phase of the DeFi boom in 2020-2021. There are views that in the future, AI agents will require independent wallets, decentralized autonomous chatbots will emerge, and with the popularization of artificial intelligence, there will be a need for unique proofs of different AI personalities.

1.2 Popular Token Overview

• AIXBT: Market cap of $550 million, mental share of 20.7%. Tracks crypto Twitter hotspots, identifies popular narratives.

• Virtuals: Market value of $4 billion, mind share of 20.7%. Designed initial Token issuance model, users can lock $VIRTUAL to generate new AI agents.

1.3 AI Agent Development Prospects

The current AI Agent craze is similar to the DeFi boom before its rise in 2020-2021, but Blockchain + AI has not yet sparked a true AI wave. Base and Solana have become the main battlegrounds, with high performance and high speculation being key. Notable areas of focus include computing power, infrastructure, memes, launch platforms, and applications.

The application of AI Agents in data analysis has more practical value. The data transparency advantage of blockchain provides a good environment for AI development. The AI Agent market is driven by Fomo and also shows hope for the implementation of Blockchain+AI applications.

Market speculation expectations are mainly reflected in:

1. The continuous rise of AI16Z has boosted the overall market sentiment.
2. AI Agent autonomously iterates and evolves, project evolution tends towards automation.
3. Twitter analysis tools provide alternative viewpoints and perspectives.
4. Virtuals achieved success through a path similar to Pump.fun.
5. AI virtual humans and AI creations open new markets in non-crypto fields

2. New Directions in Life Sciences for DeSci

2.1 Overview of DeSci

DeSci( Decentralized Science) is a model for building fair and equal research infrastructure through Web3 technology, aimed at addressing issues such as research review, funding, and intellectual property management. It attempts to introduce the speculative nature of the crypto space into the realm of research.

Although the concept of DeSci emerged as early as 2021, it has only recently regained market attention after Binance Labs invested in and launched the BIO Protocol, as well as CZ and Vitalik's joint participation in the DeSci themed conference.

2.2 BioDAO Protocol

BIO Protocol is a decentralized curation and liquidity protocol in the field of science, initially invested by Binance Labs, aimed at providing resource support for research projects.

The core components of the protocol include BioDAO, curation system, intellectual property tokenization and liquidity mechanisms, as well as incentive systems. Through multiple rounds of auctions and airdrops, the BIO Protocol has built a diversified community, laying the foundation for a decentralized biomedical research network.

Seven sub-DAOs have been launched, including VITA( Longevity Science), ATH( Women's Reproductive Health), GROW( Anti-Aging), PSY( Psychedelic Science), HAIR( Hair Loss Research), CRYO( Cryopreservation), and NEURON( Brain Health). Additionally, three more sub-DAOs are under development.

2.3 PumpScience

The Meme launch platform Pump.science launched by the Solana ecological DeSci platform Molecule DAO issues Meme Tokens representing pharmaceuticals on Pump.fun, such as:

• RIF: Rifampicin, an antibiotic with potential effects on aging
• URO: Urolithin A, a compound that aids in the "spring cleaning" of cells.
• TRACKEDBIO: A project dedicated to improving the efficiency of drug development.

2.4 Other related projects

• Scihub: Unofficial Token, supports open-source research paper website
• ANTI and PRO: Quantum Entanglement Combination Tokens, expressing support for and opposition to Meme Tokens
• WORM: The first on-chain digital brain, simulating the neural network of the elegant Caenorhabditis elegans.
• GENOME: A gene data project focused on the secure monetization of genomic data.
• GALEON: Innovating electronic health record management using blockchain
• DRUGS: Medical and Pharmaceutical Meme Token, aimed at disrupting traditional pharmaceutical companies
• RSC: Tokenized academic social network, rewards for publicly sharing academic content

Conclusion: The Development Prospects of AI Agents and DeSci

DeSci and AI Agent, although primarily driven by memes, have fundamental attributes that differ from other meme logics:

1. Technical support: AI Agent and DeSci are more aligned with the commodity economic cycle and require technical support.
2. Breaking the Circle: DeSci needs external breaking, AI Agent needs internal breaking.
3. Growth Logic: DeSci needs leading projects to drive it, and AI Agents need to continuously enhance their entertainment value.

Overall, AI Agents align with market technological development expectations and have stronger potential for mainstream adoption; DeSci benefits from the attention and investment of industry leaders. In an environment lacking market innovation, AI Agents and DeSci will still be the main points of speculation in this bull market.
