In the cryptocurrency realm, attention is everything. Whether it's quantitative traders, calm investors, or your mom stealing the spotlight on TV, anything that attracts attention can spark a frenzy, often impacting token prices. In the realm of AI agents, there are currently two ecosystems attracting attention:
@virtuals_io has gained widespread attention through continuous upgrades and the launch of a series of anticipated intelligent agent projects on Base.
@ai16zdao's Eliza platform helps teams quickly launch AI agents on Solana, turning bold ideas into reality.
Here is how these ecosystems, along with some others, are shaping the current landscape:
@virtuals_io – Pioneer of tokenized intelligent agents
This is the first platform to tokenize AI agents, currently hosting over 10 top-tier intellectual properties with unique expertise.
Coming soon: Communication functionalities between agents. Imagine AI agents autonomously interacting, creating experiments we have yet to conceive.
Recent update: Customizable intelligent agent tokens. New tokens can unlock all features with just $200,000 in funding, and existing Base tokens can be paired with intelligent agents.

@ai16zdao's Eliza ecosystem - open source and vibrant
Supporting some popular autonomous intelligent agent projects, such as:
@pmairca (Investor AI)
@degenspartanai (Trader AI)
$ELIZA framework (core infrastructure)
There are currently over 100 intelligent agents built on the Eliza stack, with new projects joining every day.
Special mention to @shawmakesmagic, who leads the crypto space with outstanding charisma and keen insights.
Recent concerns have emerged about Eliza: a new Eliza token has been created, with 10% airdropped to original token holders (now managed by a third-party team).
The future plans also discussed the concept of 'collective intelligent agents' - enabling interaction between agents within the Eliza ecosystem, similar to the approach taken by Virtuals. If executed properly, this could open up new scenarios for autonomous behavior and collaboration.

Other noteworthy platforms
1. @HoloworldAI showcases $AVA's ability to autonomously generate videos and engage in self-dialogue.
2. @CreatorBid is known for its specialized AI agents, like the WSB Agent.
3. @CryptoEternalAI This is a platform that supports on-chain intelligent agents, providing decentralized reasoning capabilities that can be deployed across multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Base, and Solana.
Outstanding performance of individual agents
@0xzerebro: Releases self-produced music albums and videos.
@Mika_Chasm: A fortune-telling intelligent agent with its own phone number and Telegram chat feature - yes, you can call directly for a reading.
Utility-first platforms (not just for entertainment or speculation)
@myshell_ai: This is an AI app store with its own web3 intelligent agent marketplace.
@questflow: Making productivity automation smarter.
@ARCAgents: Providing infrastructure for game agents.
These platforms often collaborate with major players like Virtuals or ai16z to expand their application scenarios, although some (like myshell) already have their own markets.
The next wave: DeFi intelligent agents
Platforms like @modenetwork are preparing to launch hundreds of DeFi-focused agents.
They are partnering with collaborators like @autonolas and @gizatechxyz to launch agents focused on trading, liquidity provision, money markets, and more.
Their AIFi incubator is becoming a hub for top DeFi intelligent agents.
Many more intelligent agents, agent platforms, orchestration layers, and coordination layers are planned to launch in Q1 and Q2 of 2025.
Future directions
Not long ago, @virtuals_io was the only major distribution center for intelligent agents. Today, with the addition of ai16z and the rise of utility-first platforms, this field is rapidly evolving.
The next 1-2 months will be a critical period. Will Virtuals and ai16z solidify their positions? Or will new orchestration layers and platforms emerge as we approach 2025?
What do you think - are we heading towards integration, or could we see new breakthrough players emerge?
