AI Agents Behind AI Memecoin Frenzy And Agentic Web

Artificial intelligence and blockchain have circled each other for years, whether with decentralized AI solutions or AI-driven DeFi protocols. And yet, something different has taken the spotlight in recent months: AI agents. With AI memecoins being graciously referred to as a new supercycle narrative and AI agents captivating the crypto community, it's necessary to ask what the hype is about.

There is a lot of confusion around the difference between AI agents and bots, so let's start from the beginning. Unlike chatbots or virtual assistants such as Alexa, AI agents don't just follow predefined rules. Instead, these agents are programs capable of autonomously performing tasks on behalf of their users. They're designed to analyze their environment and make decisions, all while acting independently to achieve set goals.

AI agents have seen a particular interest coming from the trading sector precisely because of their nature. One can think of them as digital twins that determine the best way to get things done based on what you train them to do for you. The level of autonomy where you don’t have to lift a finger is why AI agents differ from traditional bots.

However, not all agents that we encounter right now are fully autonomous, with the example of a semi-autonomous AI agent called Terminal of Truths, which is precisely where the AI memecoin frenzy began.$NEAR
