Several AI Agent projects backed by Binance Labs are gaining attention as they approach significant milestones, though they have yet to release their tokens. These projects, including DIN, Gud.Tech, MyShell, and Sahara AI, could offer substantial opportunities for investors once tokens are launched. The rising interest in AI Agents highlights their potential to revolutionize digital ecosystems.
DIN focuses on creating infrastructure for AI Agents and decentralized applications (dApps). Previously known as Web3 Go, DIN aims to build a blockchain specifically for AI systems. The project recently launched its Testnet, running from January 7 to February 4, 2025, with simple tasks designed for early user engagement. Users can participate using a BNB Faucet and may anticipate airdrop opportunities. With $49 million in funding, including $8 million from Binance Labs and other notable investors, DIN has built its ecosystem around xData, a browser-based AI data collection tool, and DIN Node, a data validation system. However, it remains in early development stages, with few projects built on its platform so far.
Gud.Tech is part of the Zircuit blockchain and offers AI-powered financial tools. It provides trading strategies and market insights through its GUD Terminal. While Zircuit has received backing from Binance Labs and prominent investors like Pantera Capital and DragonFly, the exact funding amount remains undisclosed. According to DefiLlama, the total value locked (TVL) in Gud.Tech is $11.4 million. Investors can obtain GUD tokens by bridging ETH to Zircuit and swapping to GUD. Notably, 78% of GUD tokens are allocated to the community through decentralized exchange liquidity, with no holdings reserved for venture capitalists. Users can stake GUD to access the GUD Terminal, which is expected to launch soon.
MyShell is designed for users to create, customize, and trade AI bots, which it refers to as AI Agents. The platform features an AIpp Store where these bots can be traded. In 2024, MyShell saw significant growth, with more than 200,000 AI Agents created and over 5 million users joining the platform. The project uses advanced AI technologies, including large language models (LLMs) and text-to-speech (TTS), alongside proprietary models like OpenVoice and MeloTTS. Users can earn Shell Points, anticipated to hold strong value upon token launch. Binance Labs invested in MyShell during its Incubation Season 6, but the funding amount has not been disclosed. MyShell has previously raised over $16 million from notable venture capital firms.
Sahara AI focuses on empowering users to deploy and manage their AI models in a secure ecosystem. With $43 million in funding from major investors such as Polychain Capital and Sequoia, the project is building the Sahara AI Data Services Platform. This platform allows users to collect, refine, and label datasets, earning Sahara Points as rewards. These datasets are intended to support the development of AI Agents using the Sahara Studio tool. The project is currently in Season 2 of its data collection initiative, with its mainnet expected to launch in Q3 2025.
AI Agent projects have experienced increased interest, as seen with significant price surges in established tokens like Virtuals Protocol and ai16z. While many investors missed early opportunities, projects like DIN, Gud.Tech, MyShell, and Sahara AI present new potential as they progress toward token launches.
