On January 3, 2025, the encryption market ushered in an overall correction in the AI sector. According to Coinmarketcap data, the AI sector fell overall by 12.1% within 24 hours, with ZEREBRO and AI16Z falling by 19.54% and 16.3% respectively. Despite this, the field of on-chain AI tokens is still hot, with multiple emerging projects with a market value exceeding 10 million US dollars emerging in just one day. The following will introduce projects such as BUZZ, AILIVE, Hyperutility and ASD-AI, and explore the reasons and trends for the explosion of the AI token track on the chain.
BUZZ : DeFi+AI Agent
BUZZ is a token related to the @askthehive_ai project. Its market value exceeded US$40 million in just 8 hours, triggering market FOMO. As a project focused on the DeFi ecosystem, @askthehive_ai’s core strength lies in its modular, interoperable AI agents that dramatically simplify complex DeFi operations such as trading, staking, and lending through natural language interfaces. Users can also customize strategy combinations to achieve highly personalized financial management.
BUZZ’s short-term success benefits from its precise grasp of the current demand for convenience in the DeFi market. 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,
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 only been online for 13 hours, and its market value has exceeded US$11 million.
At 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 the ability to personalize and introspect, promoting the development of personalized AI. AILIVE's open source code base attracts collaboration from developers around the world, bringing more possibilities to fields such as education, gaming and social networking.
Hyperutility : Exploration of cross-chain bridging and tool ecology
@Hyperutility focuses on the development of blockchain technology tools, and its core product Hyper Utility (HYPU) provides fast and efficient cross-chain bridging solutions. The project will initially operate 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 focuses on the bridge between Solana and Hyperliquid. Hyperliquid is a decentralized on-chain order book platform covering contract and spot transactions. It is expected to bring a lot of demand for decentralized bridging tools and deserves further attention from investors.
ASD-AI : AI engine for decentralized science projects
ASD-AI is an AI entity designed specifically for the Decentralized Science (DeSci) project. Its core goal is to optimize the token issuance process and improve DAO management capabilities. ASD-AI provides projects with fair and efficient solutions through automated token distribution, dynamic pricing curves and transparent governance tools. In addition, ASD-AI is compatible with mainstream blockchains, integrates zero-knowledge proof and quantum- resistant encryption technology, and meets the needs of the DeSci community in scientific collaboration and intellectual property protection.
Although the product is still in its infancy and is just a simple dialog box, the market value of ASD-AI's tokens once reached $9 million. As the popularity of the DeSci sector increases, the development potential of ASD-AI deserves continued attention.
Other noteworthy Solana AI Hackathon projects to be launched:
@the_make_ai: Copilot-like AI tool built on the Solana blockchain, designed to provide developer accessibility.
@_emeraldsh: Focus on creating AI intelligent agents that can run on Solana and be able to perform tasks independently.
@AmalgamSocial: A single application AI agent focused 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 explosion of on-chain AI tokens
1. Optimization of advanced productivity and production relations
The core of AI Agent is to combine advanced AI technology with the decentralization concept of Web3 to form a new productivity tool:
- Technical support: Based on large language models (LLM) and decentralized frameworks, AI Agent can complete complex tasks, such as data analysis, automatic transactions and content generation.
- Reshaping of production relations: Through token economics and decentralized governance mechanisms, the Web3 ecosystem deeply binds users to the community, creating 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 loss of user trust. In contrast, the AI Agent project adopts a fair launch model:
- The tokens are 100% owned by the community, and the team only retains a small amount for incentives.
- There is no internal pressure to lock up and unlock, and users and investors participate equally.
3. A new narrative driven by innovation
AI Agent builds unique ecological scenarios through efficient iteration. For example, Virtual Protocol focuses on a multi-agent interaction framework for games and virtual worlds, and ai16z (ELIZA) provides a cross-platform AI agent development framework.
The future trend 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. At the same time, the development framework in vertical fields will be more abundant.

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