With the development of the AI ​​Agent track, various platforms are rapidly occupying market attention and liquidity. Against this background, the AVA token and the Holoworld AI ecosystem behind it have emerged. With its innovation and cross-platform compatibility in the field of multi-modal AI agents, it has quickly become a high-profile project on the Solana chain. As of press time, AVA was trading at US$0.285, and its total market value had reached US$280 million. Although Holoworld's official push was stolen on January 10, Holoworld still launched the Agent Market as scheduled, providing users with tools to create AI Agents without code, greatly lowering the technical threshold. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the ecology of AVA and Holoworld, and look forward to the potential and challenges of their future development.

What is Holoworld AI?

Hologram, the predecessor of Holoworld AI, is a virtual human protocol that works with online communities to help them create unique digital identities in virtual worlds and retain ownership of their IP. The project received a seed round of financing led by Polychain in July 2022. Founder Tong Lin previously worked as a software development intern at Amazon, then became a 0x product engineer and joined the venture capital South Park Commons. Subsequently, the project launched Holoworld AI as a Web3 AI+3D entertainment social network. The project uses AI to interact with users and create users' favorite virtual characters and Agents, similar to Virtual Protocol. However, Holoworld AI’s metaverse technological advantages enable it to create better “personalities” and diverse interaction types for AI Agents.

As one of its main products, Holoworld AI recently launched Agent Market. Its main functions include one-click personalized templates, drag-and-drop knowledge base (RAG), voice selection, storybook system, 3D avatar and wearable creator and private AI chat. Function etc. Benefiting from previous experience in building the metaverse, Holoworld AI creates more accessibility for Agents, which has spawned many interesting experiments. Among its previous partners, there are many industry players such as Virtuals Protocol, ACT, and Wintermute, which shows its strong growth strength.

some interesting attempts

Spore.fun

Compared with other AI Agents, Spore built a TEE environment based on Phala Network and introduced a set of internal evolution mechanisms, including creating its own wealth through Solana-based tokens, passing on successful traits, and failing to maintain A $500,000 valuation is self-destructive. Tong Lin, the founder of Holoworld AI, directly defines it as "the incubator of AI civilization", and this civilization is completely bred and grown by the AI ​​Agent itself. The first token of the protocol, SPORE, has also reached a market value of US$27.7 million. Spore means "spore" in English, and just like in biology, spores can develop into reproductive cells of new individuals after being separated from their parents. Spore hopes that through such breeding, it strives to independently create a different civilization for AI Agents style of progress.

Digimon

Digimon hopes to create an AI-native game framework to build the next generation of AI-native games and multi-agent multiplayer game infrastructure. Among them, Digimon Engine is similar to the Unreal Engine of AI games. The goal of this project is to create an AI agent framework to build a "Western World" environment. Compared with other game type frameworks, Digimon hopes to build a more AI Native framework and metaverse interaction paradigm based on multi-agent. Among them, DAMN (Decentralized Agent "Monster" Network) is a multi-agent collaborative network developed by Digimon. It realizes "Pokémon on the chain in the AI ​​era" through the agent "Monster" network. The project has opened the Waitlist, and the project tokens have reached 3300 Market capitalization of US$10,000.

AVA

As the core Agent token in Holoworld AI, AVA has produced many effects within the protocol. For example, early AVA stakers in Launchpool can obtain exclusive token distribution in the project, and AVA itself has a certain destruction mechanism (through the AVA exchange agreement Credits, such as ACT burning $10,000 worth of AVA on January 12 to use the underlying functions of Holoworld AI), have given its value a certain degree of endorsement. For Holoworld, AVA itself is equivalent to Virtual's LUNA and has a certain benchmarking effect. In the future, Holoworld's multi-agent interaction can build more complex and diversified scenarios and use cases for AVA, and even become the leader of some kind of cyber civilization. who.
