AI continues to lead the market. Which AI NFT projects are worthy of attention?

Author: Cookie, BlockBeats

AI is undoubtedly the absolute main line of the Crypto market in recent times, and various AI concept tokens have risen one after another. So, how are AI NFTs performing? What AI NFT projects are worthy of our attention? BlockBeats counts 13 AI NFT projects worthy of your attention.

ai16z partners

Although the origin is an NFT series created by community member @SOLsesame , it is obviously officially supported by ai16z.

Shaw has expressed support on Twitter multiple times:

In ai16z's official Discord, there is also an "NFT" role specially set up for ai16z partners holders.

At present, we don’t know what specific effects it will have. The series itself is either an AI narrative or has a close relationship with ai16z. The current floor price is close to 4 SOL, close to the previous high.

zereborn

Official from zerebro, and should be the first NFT series created by AI Agent. I think the two narratives of official endorsement + AI manufacturing make zereborn’s market value higher than ai16z partners, although the market value of $zerebro is currently nearly 1.5 billion US dollars different from $ai16z.

At present, we don’t know what specific effect it will have, but the floor price is close to 5.7 SOL.

Virtual World

This is a Free Mint land series officially released by Virtuals in July 2024. The total quantity is only 100, and there are no restrictions such as white orders. Still, at that time, and it took nearly 20 minutes to play, you even had the chance to buy at such a low price:

With the popularity of the AI ​​concept, as the AI ​​leader on the Base network, this series is now flying in the sky. If the total amount were not too small, this would definitely be a strong contender for the largest NFT play in 2024. However, few NFT players have indeed noticed this hundred-fold NFT project, because it is actually an AI track, and every row is like a mountain.

The current floor price is 11 ETH, and players will expect it to play a role in AI+ games in the future.

2049 // Reflections

Freysa AI's official NFT collection, a limited collection of NFTs that run autonomously in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) with access to tools, seed tips, and mission objectives. The minting price of this series is 0.25 ETH, with a total amount of 2049. The current floor price is close to 0.6 ETH, corresponding to a market value of approximately US$4.2 million, and the market value of its token $FAI is close to US$370 million.

Smol Brains

This series, also known as "Magic Monkey", is an old project that has existed since the last cycle and has always been the core PFP project of the Treasure DAO ecosystem.

In the past week, Smol Brains has increased 4 times, and the current floor price is close to 0.4 ETH.

The reason for the rise of "Magic Monkey" is still Shaw, because Shaw was the earliest developer of the Treasure DAO ecosystem. He is responsible for Smol Brains' game project Smol World. Smol World will be an AI game. Each Smol Brains acts as an AI Agent to play on-chain games and can steal each other's assets for PvP. The game will be integrated with the Eliza framework.

Smol Brains' token $SMOL has also increased by up to 8 times in the past week. $SMOL will be migrated to the V2 version to enhance its utility in the Smol World game. Currently, $SMOL has a market capitalization of approximately $16.5 million.

Kemonokaki

This project would be a bit far-fetched to include, but it deserves attention. Kemonokaki can be summed up in one sentence, which is equivalent to Milady on Base.

The reason why it has risen in the past week is that it will enjoy the white orders of daos.world's $OHM reinvention project Daolympus World.

Among ALCHDAO's multi-tickets, 3 people will come from the daos.world team. ALCHDAO is a DAO focused on investing in tokenized AI agents and blockchain innovation.

In addition, in July 2024, Virtuals official Twitter also posted Kemonokaki. Of course, this time has passed a long time, so it doesn't really explain anything. It more illustrates Kemonokaki's Base Milady status.

Parallel Avatars

Parallel is a TCG (trading card game) on the Base chain and is affiliated with the Echelon Prime Foundation. In 2021, Parallel completed US$50 million in financing led by Paradigm, with other investors including YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, Focus Labs, OSS Capital and Yunt Capital.

Parallel is already available for players to play. In addition to Parallel, the Echelon Prime Foundation is also developing Parallel Colony, a survival game that incorporates ERC-6551 technology and allows players to cooperate with AI. Players assign tasks to the AI ​​Agent, and the AI ​​Agent completes it on its own, communicates with other AI Agents, and communicates with players to give its own game ideas. AI Agent will also conduct transactions autonomously in Parallel Colony.

The initial AI Agent game character needs to be created through Parallel Avatars, and there will be a mechanism in the future to allow ordinary players to obtain AI Agent game characters to participate in the game. Currently, the floor price of Parallel Avatars is close to 1 ETH.

The game will be open for testing in the first quarter of this year. In addition to Parallel Colony, Parallel has also developed an AI-driven full-chain automated trading tool @AIWayfinder , which is quite similar to Stud AI.

CryptoAgents

This is a series that has not been released yet, the total supply will be 10,000, Free Mint. To sum up briefly, this will be an NFT series created by AI Agent, but the difference is that this will be a fully on-chain NFT series, that is, images are rendered through the code of smart contracts.

The project was launched by @punk3700 , who is the founder of the modular Bitcoin Layer2 project BVM and the founder of Eternal AI, a multi-chain AI layer.

Bossu

The new project is currently planned to be minted on January 7th. It is nicknamed "Shark Egg" in the Chinese circle. Because of its cute image, it has attracted more attention from NFT players.

The information from this team @wawe_online is quite confusing. The official website says it is a digital art creative studio established in Argentina in 2019, but the location shown on Linkedin is Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Behance shows China.

But this is a Free Mint series, so it's not a big problem. Their coin $BOSSU runs on the Eliza framework and has a current market value of nearly $2 million. The NFT series itself is an IP image created by this studio for many years. It is not generated by AI Agent. However, using AI Agent to operate the IP image and then publish the picture does reflect the IP development ideas beyond the first picture.

xNomad

A new AI NFT project from NFTGo, not yet on sale. To put it simply, the AI ​​Agent is tied to the small picture. NFT holders can use their NFTs as AI Agents and let them invest, receive airdrops, etc. The money earned by working on the small picture can also be withdrawn.

I'm running the Eliza framework. Let's see if Shaw can take a look at it. If so, I'll be more optimistic.

Botto

From here on, there are some things that are different from the current mainstream AI narrative and that NFT players will pay more attention to.

Botto, old NFT players should have the impression that this is also a project from the last cycle to now. Botto is a decentralized-driven AI artist who has been working since October 8, 2021. The AI ​​creates 350 works of art every week, and the community will vote for one to be auctioned on SuperRare. Voting requires pledging $BOTTO to obtain voting points, and 40% of the proceeds from the auction will be used to reward voters.

The community will also decide through proposals the theme of AI creation, whether to introduce or delete the AI ​​model used, etc., allowing Botto to conduct artistic exploration in different directions in different cycles.

This project can be regarded as a journey through bulls and bears. Six of Botto's works were auctioned at Sotheby's on October 24, 2024 for a total of US$351,600. Currently, $BOTTO has a market capitalization of approximately $31 million.

Neura

Neura is not a conventional AI image generation platform. In fact, Adanede, the team behind Neura, intends to build Neura into a decentralized, self-aware AI artist through self-funding. Neura will create art independently, but users can use Android NFTs to influence Neura's creations. Different Android NFTs will give Neura different creative styles, and each user will be a unique node of Neura.

Currently, Neura has created the first series "The Memories" and completed Free Mint. This series allows users to freely provide inspiration for AI, and then AI re-creates based on the user's basic outline. It is equivalent to letting Neura show its strength first. The subsequent journey of developing AI artists has not yet officially begun, so you can pay attention.

alignDRAW

These pictures are abstract...right?

This rough mosaic abstraction is because these works are made by the first text-to-image AI model in history. In 2015, 19-year-old Elman Mansimov achieved the first AI operation of generating images through text prompts through his alignDRAW model.

This is a pure art project, focusing on a historical narrative of AI development. In 2024, the series reached an all-time high price of nearly 3 ETH, and the initial minting price was 0.1 ETH. Currently, the floor price of this series is approximately 1.66 ETH.
