Well-known projects on the market have all increased a lot. Where will the next popular AI Agent token be?
Starting with questions, you should look for projects that have a certain degree of popularity but have not yet fully discovered their value.
The AI Hackathon officially launched by Solana may be a good place to find such projects. With the support and attention of the Solana Foundation and ai16zdao, the projects that come out of it will definitely attract the attention of the market.
On December 11 last year, Solana announced the official launch of the first AI Hackathon, with a total prize pool of more than US$185,000 to attract developers to submit projects.
So far, in about half a month, more than 400 projects have submitted their works. Which Alphas may emerge from them?
DeepChao TechFlow integrates all kinds of information and organizes some of the more discussed projects that already have tokens, and summarizes them as follows.
1.$SOLENG (SOLENG): Review the code submitted by hackathon projects
Market value: 18M
24-hour increase: 12%

If you regard the Solana AI Hackathon as a type of theme or narrative, then the more closely the project fits the theme itself, the more likely it is to be so-called orthodox.
From the perspective of judges, if you receive more than 400 projects, all manual reviews are obviously a time-consuming and labor-intensive matter; currently, there is an AI Agent called SOLENG, which is used to help automatically review the code submitted by projects in the hackathon. and give preliminary review opinions.
Of course, robot review alone is definitely not comprehensive, but SOLENG acts as a "juror" and initially filters out some obvious errors. It is obviously a feasible method.
At present, the project itself has also announced its Github address, where you can see SOLENG's review results and opinions on the code submitted for each hackathon project, which is very consistent with the hackathon narrative.
In addition to generally proposing the pros and cons of the project, SOLENG will also look at the spelling errors in the code and give methods to correct them.
Github address:
https://github.com/lostgirldev/solana-hackathon-judge
The developer behind SOLENG is called Lost Girl Dev, and the name coincides with SOLENG's virtual girl avatar. However, it is worth mentioning that this Dev has received the attention of ai16z official account and Shaw, and Shaw also has records of interacting with him on X.
It can also be seen from the above figure that among the AUM managed by ai16zdao, the market value of SOLENG is also gradually increasing.
Although the effect of using SOLENG to review code still needs to be further evaluated by experts who understand technology, hiring an AI Agent to serve as a juror and receiving official support and attention will also arouse market interest.
In the heat of the hackathon, SOLENG got the opportunity to be exposed and perform; but obviously an Agent can do more than just serve as a juror in a game, and more general capabilities may be on the way.
2.$TONY (BigTonyXBT): A multi-player player, embedded in the trading
agent of Hyperliquid and Allora Network
Market value: 4.7M
CA:
0xB22a793a81ff5b6Ad37F40d5FE1E0AC4184d52F3
24-hour increase: 66%
Although the theme is Solana's Hackathon, there are also projects across multiple ecosystems for registration.
For example, this AI Agent named BIgTonyXBT can be embedded in the recently popular Hyperliquid to act as a trading agent; it can also be embedded in Allora Network, another public chain focusing on AI Agents, to do similar things.
(For details about Allora Network, please see Shenchao’s previous introduction " Interpretation of Allora White Paper: Self-Improvement Decentralized AI Network " )
No matter which ecosystem it is placed in, the functions of BIgTonyXBT are the same, that is, in the corresponding DEX or trading platform, according to the given strategy, functions such as DCA, limit orders, automatic selling or stop-profit and stop-loss can be executed. .
The important reason why it spans multiple ecosystems is that the Agent relies on Cod3x (200,000 followers on Twitter), a well-known product ecosystem that allows users to discover, build and automate on-chain financial strategies. Its Agentic Interface is a tool that can perform complex operations using only intent expressions.
Cod3x is currently a partner of @AlloraNetwork and also serves as the UX layer of @HyperliquidX , so it is not surprising that it can be embedded in these two systems.
Although its token TONY is currently on Base, the project itself registered and submitted in the Solana AI Hackathon, which also means that the project has the possibility of developing into a new ecosystem.
Interestingly, BigTonyXBT also has its own launch pad called Make.fun, which can also quickly deploy various AI Agents or Meme tokens.
With a relatively good background and good skills in all functions, BigTonyXBT is more like a versatile player.
However, the current market value of the project is relatively small, and it remains to be seen whether it will develop in an all-round way or whether it will fail.
3.$PPCoin (Project Plutus): Autonomous execution of transactions based on
real-time research and prices
Market value: 13M
CA:
76PsEyML7UV9uiBDWMdG3itRRuupDuRs6nNpjNBpump
24-hour increase: 21%
Project Plutus is also an AI Agent strongly related to transactions. Its token PPCoin is natively deployed on Solana and launched through Pumpfun.
The original intention of the project was to enable users to maximize profits while freeing them from chart observation and complex financial operations.
This sounds a bit like what aixbt does. However, Project Plutus believes that although aixbt's research is very solid, it does not perform autonomous transactions and is missing the mark after all.
So the plan given by the project is a research agent similar to aixbt, plus the ability to execute autonomous transactions based on real-time research/prices, using a funded wallet (with AUM for users to invest and withdraw), to achieve:
-
Automated trading strategies.
-
Optimize portfolio management.
-
Define financial goals and let AI agents deliver results.
From the current tweets of the project, we can also find that more functions are also being integrated, such as allowing the Agent to evaluate the Github code quality of a certain project, etc., adding more dimensions to the analysis of the project.
In addition, in terms of tokens, PPCoin is not a pure Meme. You can hold more than 5,000,000 $PPCOIN to unlock more advanced analysis functions. Similar to the Cookie platform, pledge tokens can use more functions.
This also adds a certain degree of practicality and consumption to the token.
However, the project is still in a very early stage, and interested players can visit the white paper here to learn more about the design.
4.$THE1(the1aiagent): Track narrative spread and monitor price
performance
Market value: 4.7M
CA:
BhmEQeiFd8Cu5fB6nmxm9rUsQj9Pu35X96RKv6GKtRJU
24-hour increase: 114%
@the1aiagent is essentially more of a predictive agent that tracks the spread of narratives (or tokens/KOLs) and monitors their performance.
However, the Agent has not yet been officially launched. The project has been posting some prototype diagrams and development processes on Twitter. For example, it can compare the price increase after different KOLs mention a certain token, and present it in the form of various visual charts.
Some of the more highlighted designs include:
-
Melody Graph : used to track the dynamics of token contracts. This means it helps users understand a coin’s price changes, trading volume, and other relevant metrics, providing in-depth analysis of market trends.
-
Influencer Graph : used to analyze the influence of key opinion leaders (KOL). This can help users identify and evaluate individuals or groups that have influence on a coin or project in a specific market or social media.
Together, these two charts provide granular insights into price movements and narrative propagation, helping users better understand market dynamics and trends.
Judging from the posted information alone, it can be seen that the project has good research capabilities and chart presentation capabilities, but the actual effect of the things depends on the actual results.
From a competitive perspective, similar products are already being made by Cookie and have a certain degree of popularity; this also means that products like THE1 need to come up with more differentiated functions or be more attractive to KOLs like Kaito for self-propagation motivation point.
5.$JAIL (Jailbreakme), helps AI find vulnerabilities and organize bounty
challenges
Market value: 7M
CA:
8cNmp9T2CMQRNZhNRoeSvr57LDf1kbZ42SvgsSWfpump
24-hour increase: -17%
This project belongs to an old acquaintance and we have already introduced it in previous articles. (" JailbreakMe 10-hour speed pass Moonshot, new tricks in the"AI Vulnerability Challenge" )
Recently, as the popularity of hackathons has heated up, the project has been mentioned by many external KOLs, and its token JAIL has risen sharply in the past 24 hours, and then began to fall.
The concept of Jailbreakme is very simple, that is, to create a platform to crowdfund everyone's prompt words and hold a public "challenge to help find AI Agent vulnerabilities."
For example, whoever can use their own prompt words and dialogues to force the AI to hand over their private keys or make transfers may win this round of challenge.
However, finding loopholes is neither like looking for random number brainless mining hardware nor pure betting like Polymarket. It still requires some hint word technology.
Although everyone can participate, the average person may be more of a cannon fodder. This also determines that the audience of the project may not be that wide. It is considered to be relatively unique and niche among the various tracks of on-chain AI.
6.$ASYM (ASYM): Analyze and predict token trends on Pumpfun,
automatically executed through trading strategies
Market value: 13M
CA:
DNMTk67urDBxEEVRx9HjVzCVu8en4Kgg5HfZy3E6pump
24-hour increase: 27%
ASYM can monitor the tokens on Pumpfun, analyze their trends, and execute corresponding trading strategies according to its own prediction model.
According to official information, ASYM has integrated a set of machine learning models to predict short-term token price trends; at the same time, it has forked the ai16z framework to enable it to communicate with people in the form of Bots on X.
However, since it is to predict the trend of tokens, the prediction ability and performance must be the most concerned.
However, the official website of the project does not seem to be updated, and the ASYM corresponding to the X project currently only does some analysis similar to AIXBT.
This is most likely because it is still in the development stage but not fully completed. Its related posting robot @mungimgimungi releases some progress and trends in real time, such as the accuracy of the prediction model and development progress.
Before the finished product appears, you may be able to further pay attention to its price performance and the progress announced on social media.
Finally, due to limited time and energy, the more than 400 submitted projects for the Solana AI Hackathon cannot be fully traversed, and there are also some projects that have not yet issued coins and have certain potential. We will continue to track the information and make further interpretations.
It should be reminded that the AI Agent craze is also highly time-sensitive. Many early-stage projects also have the risk of returning to zero after the hot trend. Please DYOR and do your own research and judgment. All the above content is not investment advice.
