We had a good thing going on with AI x Web3
And then typical crypto style - greed took over, everyone launched a token, and we lost most of the credibility we had
Here's a look at the survivors that are still building 🧵
Decentralized Compute & GPU Networks
Why: AI models need massive compute power, current centralized cloud providers (AWS, Google) create bottlenecks
@akashnet_ @rendernetwork @ionet @SpheronFDN @hyperbolic_labs are doing a good job here
Decentralized Data, Training & Storage
Why: AI training requires massive datasets, data ownership and monetization is a huge problem, users generate value but don't capture it
@vana @JoinSapien @LazAINetwork @oceanprotocol @flock_io @NousResearch @grass @nillionnetwork @SaharaLabsAI @OpacityNetwork @eigenlayer
Agentic Frameworks and Onchain AI Agents
Why: Onchain agents need to understand smart contracts, execute transactions, manage wallets, and coordinate with other agents autonomously.
@GoKiteAI @ElizaEcoFund @FractionAI_xyz @Fetch_ai @TheoriqAI @Gaianet_AI @CircuitAI @lomen_org
Verified Identity: For Humans and AI
Why: As AI agents become autonomous economic actors, we need to distinguish between humans and AI, prevent Sybil attacks, and establish reputation systems.
@billions_ntwk @Kleros_io @proofofhumanity @0xHolonym @SelfProtocol @DNAOnChain
Open Source AI
Why: Current AI development is dominated by a few large corporations. Open source AI accelerates innovation through collaboration, and prevents AI monopolies from controlling humanity's most powerful technology.
@SentientAGI @openmind_agi @opentensor
InfoFi, Distribution and AI Marketing
Why: Information is a valuable asset, but discovery and distribution are centralized. AI can optimize content distribution, predict viral content, and reward content creators directly.
@KaitoAI @cookiedotfun @mediapilot_
AI Agent Launchpads
Why: Creating and deploying AI agents is complex. Most devs can't build autonomous agents from scratch, and there's no standardized way to launch, manage, or monetize them.
@virtuals_io @clankeronbase @CreatorBid @BioProtocol @EternalAI_ @DreamStarterXYZ
AI L1s and L2s
Why: AI operations require high throughput, low latency, and specialized opcodes for machine learning operations. Traditional blockchains are too slow and expensive for AI inference and training.
@NEARProtocol @0G_labs @Quark_Chain @heurist_ai @Vanarchain @Elysium_VF
I'm sure I may have missed some categories and AI teams - do let me know in the comments
