In the fierce fluctuations of the crypto bull market, opportunities and risks coexist. As the market adjusts, it is those projects that stand at the forefront of technology and have strong innovation that demonstrate their unique value. This article will reveal eight of the most exciting and promising tokens in the current market trough: AI16z, ZEREBRO, ARC, AIXBT, GRIFFAIN, GRIFT, ZODS and ALCH. These projects not only create new possibilities in their respective fields, but also have unique advantages across cycles, and are accumulating strength for future market waves.
By deeply analyzing its catalysts, market performance, and team background, I researched some projects that can be invested in during this downturn for their intrinsic value and investment opportunities. Each choice could become the next legend; these projects are undoubtedly worthy of attention as 'ALPHA' pioneers.
AI16z | ai16zdao
The AI16z token is a meme project issued by 'pirate Marc' Marc AIndreessen on Daos.fun, based on the a16z concept. It is the first hedge fund led by AI agents, combining low-risk investments and high-risk investments managed by AI Degen Spartan. The underlying architecture, 'Eliza,' is open-source and has gained substantial developer support, while the V2 update has enhanced flexibility and security.
The AI16z token once reached a peak market value exceeding $1B. The current trading volume is $9.3M, still oscillating at a high level, but market sentiment remains uncertain. One of the catalysts for the project is the rumors of its upcoming listing on Binance, which has sparked significant attention among investors. The project's appeal also comes from its advanced proxy library, combined with powerful AI proxy features, providing innovative investment solutions for investors. However, the project still faces a challenge with its unclear token application scenarios and increasingly fierce market competition, especially with the rising competitors in the AI investment field.
Currently, the valuation of AI16z is $750 million, a decline of 23% from its historical peak, which provides investors with a relatively inexpensive buying opportunity. However, whether it can maintain its market position depends on its ability to overcome current competitive pressures and continue to develop its core technologies and application scenarios.

ZEREBRO | 0xzerebro
Zerebro is a popular agent on Crypto Twitter, renowned for its exceptional artistic creation capabilities, able to generate music, memes, artworks, and NFTs. It can operate independently across multiple platforms, create posts for Twitter and Instagram, and collaborate with its creators, having released two albums on Spotify. It has also created and sold artworks on Polygon, collaborated with DeFi protocols, and signed with an on-chain record label.
Zerebro, with its exceptional artistic creation capabilities, once reached a peak market value of $624.15M. The current trading volume remains at $37.2M, still oscillating at a high level with minor fluctuations, demonstrating strong market support. Despite having a decent technical background, the current application scenarios for Zerebro's tokens remain unclear, bringing a certain level of uncertainty to investors. Whether the future path will widen and whether the tokens can find more practical value remains undecided.
Especially since the fate of this project largely depends on the success of Zerepy. The current market valuation for Zerebro is $294 million, a decline of 52% from its historical peak, providing a rebound opportunity for discerning investors. Particularly against the backdrop of market corrections, it seems to be at a key juncture poised for recovery; if Zerepy breaks through, Zerebro may undoubtedly reach new heights again.

ARC | arcdotfun
ARC is an AI concept token, and the ARC team is closely related to an AI development framework called 'rig,' representing the concept of hardcore AI infrastructure. The team's goal is to help developers navigate the 'sea of meaning' through the development of the 'rig' framework—an AI system that processes context and meaning similarly to the human brain.
Before the token issuance, the team elaborated on the significance of this project through the official website and Twitter articles, emphasizing that it marks a shift in software development from pure logic construction to 'meaning processing,' expressing ambitions for the future of the AI industry.
Since its launch, the ARC project has reached a market value of up to $305.2M, demonstrating significant market potential. The current trading volume is $45.6M, still showing an upward trend, suggesting that investors are quite confident in its future. As a promising AI project, one of the catalysts for ARC is its application in proxy LP (liquidity providers), while the Rust framework behind it, known for its efficiency and reliability, has been considered one of the top development tools in the industry. This provides strong technical support for ARC, but facing strong competitors like AI16z, ARC still needs to continuously optimize and innovate.
Currently, ARC's valuation is $214 million, a decline of 10% from its historical peak, which means it may provide a relatively inexpensive buying opportunity for investors. Many investors in the market are paying attention to this, expecting that with technological advancements and further market maturation, ARC can break through bottlenecks and welcome a new growth cycle.

AIXBT | aixbt_agent
Aixbt is one of the agents created based on the Base platform's Virtuals. It monitors Crypto Twitter and market trends through smart analysis tools, providing users with valuable market insights. Some of the analysis content is shared on Twitter, while the rest is accessible only to token holders, who can directly converse with the agent through their exclusive terminal.
The analysis from aixbt demonstrates a certain accuracy in predicting price trends, enhancing user trust in its AI-driven market insight capabilities. aixbt showcases how AI can interpret blockchain data and assist traders in making more informed decisions across multiple platforms and domains.
Although Aixbt once reached a market value of $308M, its current trading volume is $5.2M, and it is quite volatile, showing clear trends of ups and downs. One of the catalysts for Aixbt is undoubtedly the rumors of its listing on Binance, which adds more market heat. Meanwhile, Aixbt's powerful proxy capabilities and deep market insights make it a favorite among many investors.
However, in the future, with the continuous innovation of technology, there may be more powerful proxy tools emerging, which raises higher requirements for Aixbt or may lead to its direct replacement. Currently, its valuation has dropped to $295 million, a decline of 5% from its historical peak, providing a rare entry opportunity for those daring investors.

GRIFFAIN | griffaindotcom
Griffain is a Solana-based project—an artificial intelligence proxy engine, similar to Copilot and Perplexity. It is one of the closest projects to an Agentic APP. The ultimate form of a search engine in the AI era should be that users directly state their needs, and AI directly provides results or solutions, rather than just providing web links.
Griffain, as one of the closest projects to an Agentic APP, currently has a trading volume of $40.3M, with its market value once soaring to $405M. However, over the past 10 days, its volatility has also been evident, exhibiting strong characteristics of high-level oscillation.
One of the catalysts for this project is its open access mechanism. Additionally, as a leading proxy engine, Griffain undoubtedly attracts a lot of market attention. Although the specific application scenarios for its tokens have not yet been clarified, the team behind it has received recognition from Toly, adding a lot of shine to its prospects. Griffain's current valuation is $267 million, a decline of 30% from its historical peak, providing potential rebound opportunities for investors and making it more attractive in the market.

GRIFT | orbitcryptoai
Grift is an AI proxy token launched by the AI infrastructure protocol SphereOne team (funded by Coinbase and Google), making meme trading much easier. Users just need to click once, and GRIFT will scan for high-volume memes and automatically purchase them, saving trading time and effort. SphereOne is a cross-chain crypto payment platform, and the AI trading tools it offers have been validated by the market.
Grift, an AI proxy token launched by the SphereOne team, is redefining the landscape of meme trading. Currently, Grift's trading volume is $9.8M, and its market value once soared to $82.25M, experiencing significant volatility over the past 10 days. The project's catalysts come from steadily developing partnerships and ongoing technological advancements, especially with the introduction of its token buyback mechanism, injecting new vitality into the market.
Grift’s proxy engine is highly stable, giving it unparalleled appeal, while the team's full transparency allows investors to easily verify project progress. However, as an emerging technology proxy engine, Grift inevitably faces certain technical risks. Nevertheless, the current valuation of the project is $55 million, a decline of 41% from its historical peak, but this presents a potential opportunity for investors in a volatile market.

ZODS | zodsonsol
ZODs is a platform integrating multiple functions of the Solana ecosystem, known as the 'Swiss Army Knife of Solana.' It integrates trading tools, token issuance, wallet management, on-chain insights, and social media management, aiming to allow users to complete all operations through a single platform. Similar to Griffain, but ZODs costs 80 times less.
The founder has a technical background in high-performance trading tools, and the tokens are locked until December 2025, demonstrating a long-term commitment. ZODs has open-sourced a web scraping service that provides the latest data in real-time to LLMs, supporting multilingual needs. The platform's AI proxy supports web interfaces, voice commands, and Telegram interactions, suitable for both novices and professionals. It also offers features such as DCA orders and whale wallet tracking.
The current trading volume of this project is $4.4M, with a peak market value reaching $18.8M. Although it is in a high-level oscillation phase with significant volatility, despite being open for public access, the application scenarios for the tokens are still unclear, seeming to be searching for its own stage. The performance of the proxy engine is stable, but the team's information is not publicly available, which raises certain risks and concerns. The current valuation is $11 million, a decline of 41% from the historical peak; it's time to consider whether this project can sail forward again or get lost in the wind.

ALCH | alchemistAIapp
Alchemist AI is a no-code application generation platform that allows users to quickly generate different applications and products using public AI capabilities through natural language descriptions. Unlike traditional AI Agents, Alchemist AI does not require users to create different AI agents; instead, it automates application generation through the AI capabilities provided by the platform.
Users only need to connect their wallets and input application descriptions, and the platform will generate the corresponding programs, which can then be downloaded or further optimized through dialogue with AI. The uniqueness of this platform lies in its provision of development tools to users in a no-code manner and utilizing community dissemination value, creating a breakthrough in the AI Agent track of the crypto market.
Alchemist AI's peak market value once reached $149.78M, but its current market value has dropped to $41.82M, with a trading volume of $20.4M, and the token price showing a downward oscillation trend. The project's catalysts mainly stem from continuous development progress, and the token's application scenario is to drive the launch of advanced models. The project has an impressive coding engine that will further enhance the platform's appeal.
Due to the team's information not being publicly available, investors are filled with uncertainty about its future. Currently, Alchemist AI's valuation is $77 million, a decline of 54% from its historical peak, providing a potential low-entry opportunity for investors optimistic about the future of no-code application generation.
