Last week, Binance, the world’s largest exchange, launched three AI track tokens: AIXBT (Aixbt), CGPT (ChainGPT) and COOKIE (Cookie). It is worth noting that both CGPT and COOKIE come from the BNBChain ecosystem, which makes the encryption community begin to focus on AI projects in the BNBChain ecosystem.

In 2024, BNBChain proposed the strategic vision of "AI First (AI First) Chain", aiming to integrate AI into every aspect of business decision-making and ecological development, and strive to build BNBChain into an innovative place where AI and Crypto are deeply integrated.

Over the past decade, the Internet industry has successfully achieved a strategic transformation from "Web First" to "Mobile First", reshaping the lifestyle and consumption habits of a generation. Today, as the fourth wave of industrial revolution in human history, AI is reshaping the face of human society and the new business landscape with unprecedented power, driving the transition from "Mobile First" to the "AI-First" era. The Great Migration.

Kaifu Lee once predicted that the wave of technological revolution brought by AI will be 10 times greater than that of the mobile Internet. All kinds of apps we are familiar with today will be reconstructed by AI.

At present, Solana and Base have produced a large number of AI assets, but the AI ​​track is by no means a zero-sum game. As the trend of AI becomes increasingly clear, the entire industry is working together to promote the deep integration and substantial application of AI in the Crypto field and capture a potential market with a valuation of up to trillions.

On this long and wide "snow track", there is abundant snow, which provides a good opportunity for those participants who are patient and insist on long-termism to make a big snowball.

Under this background and judgment, BNBChain’s “AI First” development philosophy came from this.

The prototype of BNBChain AI ecosystem has emerged

At present, the development of BNBChain's AI ecosystem has achieved initial results, and more than 50 active projects closely related to the AI ​​ecosystem have been successfully deployed on the chain. These projects cover core aspects such as the collection, labeling, and storage of AI data. Infrastructure such as centralized GPU computing power, as well as multiple specific application segments such as AI Agent.

In the AI ​​Agent field that has attracted much attention recently, there are representative AI Agent Framework products such as MyShell and Revox on BNBChain.

At present, the AI ​​ecological matrix on BNB Chain has deeply penetrated and fully covered the key links of the AI ​​ecological chain - "data, computing power, algorithm", forming a complete closed loop from data input, computing power support to landing application. A closed loop will greatly enhance the collaborative development between products and promote the common prosperity of the entire ecosystem.

At the infrastructure level, there are Web3 data platforms such as Gata and Alaya AI, which can provide massive and high-quality training resources for AI models, helping the models to continuously optimize and upgrade.

At the same time, the decentralized computing platform NetMind also provides strong support for the training and reasoning process of AI models, ensuring efficient and stable computing.

In terms of implementation applications, there are AI Agents for various implementation scenarios, creative products such as Meet48 and NFPrompt.

Through the above list, we can find the linkage potential between the early projects on BNBChain and the BNB ecosystem.

BNBChain’s AI-First new business philosophy

The current AI ecological landscape shows that the "AI-First" advocated by BNBChain is by no means an empty technical slogan. This underlying philosophy is subtly guiding and reshaping the path of business decision-making and the direction of industry development. The aesthetics of BNB ecology prefers projects with practical application scenarios and long-termism.

Through the linkage between BNBChain and other BNB ecological participants, the determination to bet on AI has already been established.

In August 2024, Max Coniglio, the investment director of Binance Labs, publicly expressed his recent strategy: committed to promoting the development of decentralized application DApps driven by AI, and has continuously invested in Sahara AI, the decentralized AI network of the BNBChain ecosystem. and AI robot platform MyShell, etc.

In a recent interview, Binance co-founder He Yi said about the development of AI and encryption integration: AI technology is triggering a productivity revolution, and its influence is far beyond imagination. Blockchain technology mainly changes labor relations and interest distribution. model, and AI is a revolutionary technology that directly improves user productivity. Binance will focus on crypto AI-related projects.

Relying on the "AI-First strategic positioning, BNBChain will continue to fully empower AI developers, start-ups and enterprises, whether they have been thinking about integrating AI elements and scenarios since its inception, exploring the integration of AI and its own business, or focusing on promoting AI Projects such as infrastructure construction for track development can build a powerful artificial intelligence ecosystem with BNBChain.

The infrastructure of One BNB’s multi-chain strategy

Compared with other public chains, BNBChain has an innate architectural advantage in doing AI.

Relying on the "One BNB" multi-chain strategy, BNB Chain has integrated multi-chain technologies such as BSC (smart chain), opBNB and storage chain Greenfield to build a comprehensive and powerful infrastructure system for AI developers.

In particular, BNB Greenfield, as a decentralized storage network in the BNBChain ecosystem, solves economic issues such as ownership, privacy, storage and reuse of AI data. It gives individuals and businesses complete control over their data and enables them to monetize their data to generate revenue.

BNB Greenfield provides a set of data management solutions for AI data acquisition, privacy training, storage, etc. Based on it, developers can build various types of AI such as decentralized AI data annotation, decentralized LLM training that protects data privacy, etc. Data processing products enable developers to easily access and utilize diverse data sets, which provides a rich data resource library for data training and optimization of AI applications.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) once stated on social media that tasks such as AI data annotation are very suitable to be completed through the blockchain, and BNB Greenfield provides storage support.

In terms of technical architecture, BNB Chain has established a framework for building a comprehensive AI-first blockchain ecosystem by integrating BNB Smart Chain, opBNB and BNB Greenfield.

Comprehensive resource support and ecological composability

BNBChain not only provides complete infrastructure and supporting tools for the development of AI, but also a comprehensive resource support system to comprehensively assist the development of ecological projects. This system covers every aspect from project concept incubation, product development, investment introduction to exchange listing, forming a closed-loop support process.

Among them, since the launch of the Hackathon in 2024, a total of more than 2 million US dollars in bonuses have been awarded to more than 20 outstanding projects; BIA (BNB Incubation Alliance) provides early-stage projects with opportunities to connect with multiple capitals; MVB (Most Important Projects) Value Developer) accelerator program can pave a business school coaching and fast track to success for early Web3 developers.

According to data from the past seven seasons of MVB, nearly 60% of the selected projects have successfully received attention and investment from multiple capitals including Binance Labs, among which 5 projects have landed on the Binance Launchpool platform. MVB Season 9 is currently open for applications, focusing on the AI ​​track, including various subdivisions such as AI Agent, AI games, data labels, and data DAO.

In terms of marketing support, TVL, DAU, Meme airdrop competition incentive plan, etc. have effectively helped the project launch. The BNB ecological project has recently been a key observation object of Binance Alpha, and multiple projects have been included in the Binance wallet alpha zone.

In addition, BNBChain's multi-chain strategy opens up a new imaginative space for interoperability, composability and co-evolution between ecologies. The original Web3 applications in the ecosystem, such as DeFi, Gaming, etc., which are the dominant sectors, can seamlessly integrate AI tools, giving birth to multiple possibilities of DEFAI and AI Gaming. At the same time, AI tool products such as Paal AI, ChainGPT, Cookie3 and other ecological content can be said to provide a variety of AI-driven tools, covering encryption market information analysis, trading robots, token audit tools, etc.

**Create a new infrastructure for human paradigm shift and promote the

new wave of encrypted AI**

For an encrypted AI project to stand out from the competition, the key lies in the coordinated efforts of "community support, financial guarantee, and technological innovation." In the early stages of project launch, the liquidity of the ecosystem and the stability of the user base, as well as the ability to obtain resources and technical guidance and support within the ecosystem, are crucial to the growth of the project.

BNBChain has a large user base, and in terms of resources, it also has multi-dimensional support such as incubation and investment, technical support, etc., which can better help AI move from concept to practical application. It is particularly worth mentioning that the DeFi applications within the BNBChain ecosystem are very mature, providing strong guarantees for the exploration of DEFAI-like intelligent entities or the later listing and circulation of AI assets.

Looking back on the past 2024, the BNB ecosystem has experienced strong growth. The multi-chain framework of "One BNB" continues to improve, and problems such as the layout, expansion and storage of Web3 DApp can be solved in one stop.

In terms of ecological data, in the past 2024, BSC network TVL has achieved a significant jump from US$3.5 billion at the beginning of the year to US$5.5 billion at the end of the year, with an annual growth rate of as high as 58.2%. Its TVL has long been ranked among the 342 chain data collected by DeFiLlama. Among the Top5.

According to DeFiLama data, as of January 13, 2025, the TVL of the BSC network has been approximately US$5.9 billion, of which the market value of stablecoins circulating in the network is approximately US$6.91 billion, accounting for 3.34% of the entire stablecoin market share. The entire blockchain network ranks third, with the top two being Ethereum and Tron.

From the initial DeFi wave, to the explosion of the gaming ecosystem, to today's AI wave, what BNB Chain is doing is to provide services to users and developers with a long-term perspective.

Nowadays, the AI ​​First BNB Chain aims to promote the new infrastructure of human paradigm shift and fully promotes a new wave in the field of encrypted AI. All actions always point in one direction - "attracting the next billion users to web3".
