On January 3, 2025, the crypto market ushered in an overall correction of the AI sector. According to Coinmarketcap data, the AI sector fell 12.1% overall in 24 hours, of which ZEREBRO and AI16Z fell 19.54% and 16.3% respectively. Despite this, the field of on-chain AI tokens is still hot, and multiple emerging projects with a market value of over 10 million US dollars have emerged in just one day. The following will introduce projects such as BUZZ, AILIVE, Hyperutility and ASD-AI, and explore the reasons and trends of the outbreak of the on-chain AI token track.
BUZZ:DeFi+AI Agent
BUZZ is a token related to the @askthehive_ai project. In just 8 hours, the market value exceeded 40 million US dollars, triggering market Fomo. As a project focused on the DeFi ecosystem, @askthehive_ai's core strength lies in its modular, interoperable AI agents, which greatly simplify complex DeFi operations such as trading, staking, and lending through natural language interfaces. Users can also customize their strategy portfolios to achieve highly personalized financial management.
BUZZ's short-term success is due to its accurate grasp of the current DeFi market's convenience needs. The project participated in the Solana AI Hackathon and demonstrated its multi-chain expansion tools and infrastructure optimization capabilities. In the future, @askthehive_ai plans to further support the creation of smart wallets on multiple platforms such as Google, X (Twitter), Discord, and realize fund recharge through Coinbase Onramp to bring users a better experience.
AILIVE: Personalized AI
AILIVE is an innovative project that combines blockchain and AI technology. Its core token $AILIVE promotes the sustainable development and decentralization of the platform. AILIVE adopts a fair distribution model, with 92.5% of tokens distributed directly to the community, and the circulation supply is reduced through a deflation mechanism to further enhance long-term value. AILIVE has exceeded $11 million in market value in just 13 hours since its launch.
On the technical level, AILIVE combines reinforcement learning, deep learning and trusted execution environment (TEE) to create an autonomous AI agent system that supports complex task training. Its unique 3D open world allows agents to interact and evolve in dynamic scenes, and to create and trade through the agent market. AILIVE also has an internal reflection engine (IRE), which gives agents personalization and introspection capabilities, promoting the development of personalized AI. AILIVE's open source code base has attracted collaboration from developers around the world, bringing more possibilities to areas such as education, games and social networking.
Hyperutility: Exploration of cross-chain bridging and tool ecology
@Hyperutility focuses on the development of blockchain technology tools. Its core product Hyper Utility (HYPU) provides fast and efficient cross-chain bridging solutions. The project initially operated in a centralized mode, and plans to introduce decentralized bridging options (such as deBridge) in the future to enhance security and scalability. In addition, Hyperutility also plans to launch practical functions such as displaying head holder information, and release a Beta version in the short term, while locking 25% of the token supply to control market supply and demand.
Due to the existence of exchanges, the demand for independent cross-chain bridge products is limited, but Hyperutility will focus on the bridge between Solana and Hyperliquid. Hyperliquid is a decentralized on-chain order book platform that covers both contract and spot trading. It is expected to generate a large demand for decentralized bridging tools and deserves further attention from investors.
ASD-AI: The AI Engine for Decentralized Science Projects
ASD-AI is an AI entity designed specifically for decentralized science (DeSci) projects. Its core goal is to optimize the token issuance process and enhance DAO management capabilities. ASD-AI provides fair and efficient solutions for projects through automated token distribution, dynamic pricing curves, and transparent governance tools. In addition, ASD-AI is compatible with mainstream blockchains, integrates zero-knowledge proofs and quantum-resistant encryption technologies, and meets the needs of the DeSci community in scientific collaboration and intellectual property protection.
Although the product is still in its early stages and is only a simple dialog box, the market value of ASD-AI's token once reached US$9 million. As the DeSci sector becomes more popular, the development potential of ASD-AI deserves continued attention.
Other Solana AI hackathon projects to be launched:
@the_make_ai: A Copilot-like AI tool built on the Solana blockchain, designed to provide developer assistance.
@_emeraldsh: Focuses on creating AI intelligent agents that can run on Solana and can perform tasks independently.
@AmalgamSocial: A single application AI agent that focuses on health data tracking and management. It aims to help users track and manage personal health data through AI technology, involving personalized health advice, data analysis and other functions.
Reasons for the outbreak of AI tokens on the chain
1. Optimization of advanced productivity and production relations
The core of AI Agent is to combine advanced AI technology with the decentralized concept of Web3 to form a new productivity tool:
- Technical support: Based on the large language model (LLM) and decentralized framework, AI Agent can complete complex tasks such as data analysis, automatic transactions and content generation.
- Reshaping production relations: Through token economics and decentralized governance mechanisms, the Web3 ecosystem deeply binds users to the community and creates a fairer and more open ecosystem.
2. Fair distribution mechanism
Some Web3 projects are usually highly controlled by VCs, which can easily lead to a decline in user trust. In contrast, the AI Agent project adopts a fair launch model:
- 100% of the tokens are owned by the community, and the team only retains a small amount for incentives.
- There is no internal lock-up and unlocking pressure, and users and investors participate equally.
3. New narrative driven by innovation
AI Agent has built a unique ecological scenario through efficient iteration. For example, Virtual Protocol focuses on the multi-agent interaction framework of games and virtual worlds, and ai16z (ELIZA) provides a cross-platform AI agent development framework.
Future Trends of On-Chain AI Tokens
1. Specialization and Segmentation
AI agents will develop rapidly in high-precision fields such as financial analysis, medical assistants, and legal consulting, and the development frameworks in vertical fields will be richer.

2. Improvement of decentralized infrastructure
Decentralized computing and storage platforms such as Hyperbolic and Aethir will provide developers with more possibilities and further improve the performance of AI agents.
Summary
The AI Agent track is leading the crypto industry to transform towards the deep integration of real demand scenarios and AI technology. Although there may be some signs of bubbles in the short term, and there are technical and security risks, its prosperity depends to a certain extent on the high stability of mainstream assets such as Bitcoin, but with the decentralized economic model, strong technical support and innovative application scenarios, this field is creating a new development trend for the encryption industry.
