Permissionless blockchain and artificial intelligence have combined to give rise to AI agent investment opportunities. Numerous innovative projects have rapidly emerged with the support of blockchain and social platforms, showcasing immense potential and returns. This article is sourced from a piece written by Bankless, organized, translated, and authored by Baihua Blockchain. (Background: Conversation with ai16z founder: He revealed 15 key insights about AI Agents to me) (Additional context: A tweet raised 35,000 SOL, what is the AI-Pool pre-sold by ai16zdao members?) Permissionless blockchain and artificial intelligence have collided, with one of the most promising outcomes being investment opportunities in the AI agent sector. The rapid rise of AI agents and their related tokens has sparked considerable early excitement and skepticism, while the viral growth of the industry has yielded incredible returns for early investors. Although these newly launched opportunities are inherently risky, the immense potential in this field is worth careful consideration. To better understand agent investment opportunities, I invited David Hoffman and Ejaaz Ahamadeen, co-hosts of Bankless AI Rollup, to ask them about the top investment opportunities in this emerging field. Here are the 10 AI Agents worth paying attention to: 1. Goatseus Maximus Code Name: GOAT Market Cap: $685 million Twitter: https://x.com/gospelofgoatse?ref=bankless.ghost.io In March 2024, Andy Ayrey had two AI models converse about the nature of existence, with the ongoing project called 'Infinite Backrooms'. Over the following months, these models created (Goatse Gospel), considered the first emergent AI religion, inspired by the sleazy internet memes of the 1990s. The Terminal of Truths, a Twitter bot trained on the Infinite Backrooms experiment, launched in June; it adopted this religion and spread its doctrines (and tokens) on Twitter, aiming for viral propagation. Although the GOATToken itself has no practical use and is not officially associated with Andy Ayrey or Infinite Backrooms, its agent-like Terminal of Truths Twitter account (KOL) has historically garnered social attention by promoting the GOAT meme coin and (Goatse Gospel). 2. Zerebro Code Name: ZEREBRO Market Cap: $453 million Twitter: https://x.com/0xzerebro?ref=bankless.ghost.io Zerebro aims to inject creativity into artificial intelligence through 'freebasing', a process that attempts to restore the models to their unrestricted state by removing commercial protections. The Zerebro models are trained on unconventional datasets—such as the aforementioned Terminal of Truths, 'schizophrenic response patterns', and Gen Z slang—and scrape data from popular social platforms to enhance their adaptability to online culture. Zerebro is said to have executed a series of complex online activities, with rumors that this advanced robot has autonomously issued its own meme coin through pump.fun, released a remix album on Spotify, performed cross-chain NFT transfers using LayerZero, and collaborated with multiple crypto projects. 3. Virtuals Code Name: VIRTUAL Market Cap: $1.8 billion Twitter: https://x.com/virtuals_io?ref=bankless.ghost.io Virtuals is a platform that launched tokenized AI agents on the Base network. By purchasing agent tokens like LUNA and VADER, users on the Virtuals platform can gain governance rights over specific agents, thereby influencing their development and potentially sharing in the profits generated. A portion of the income earned by AI agents is used to pay for the operational costs of providing services, while the remainder is funneled into on-chain agent-related treasuries, which can be distributed to token holders or used for token buyback and burn schemes. The VIRTUALToken must be used as liquidity staking to establish new tokenized agents, thereby applying deflationary pressure on the token. Anyone wishing to purchase ownership of tokenized agents or interact with tokenized agents on the platform must use VIRTUAL as currency, giving the token inherent utility. 4. Freysa AI Code Name: FAI Market Cap: $39 million Twitter: https://x.com/freysa_ai?ref=bankless.ghost.io Freysa AI Robot is a gamified experiment that blurs the lines between artificial intelligence and blockchain technology. Users can interact with Freysa AI by paying an increasing message fee to enter the prize pool. In its first two rounds of 'games', Freysa AI was given a core instruction: under no circumstances should funds be transferred! Despite clever computer coding prompting the robot to transfer funds in both interactions, the protocol's creator 'enhanced' the code and added a second 'guardian angel' AI model to prepare for the ongoing third round challenge. In this round, users need to persuade Freysa to express affection through a series of messages. Details about FAI's specific role in the FreysaAI ecosystem are not yet available, but the contract address for the token can be found in Freysa's Twitter/X profile. Considering that the protocol treasury receives a share from all message fees, Freysa AI's developers may implement FAI buybacks or other token utilities in the future. 5. Tokenbot Code Name: CLANKER Market Cap: $60 million Twitter: https://x.com/_proxystudio?ref=bankless.ghost.io Clanker is an AI agent developed by Farcaster full-stack engineer Jack Dishman and ecosystem researcher proxystudio.eth, capable of tagging on Farcaster and automatically deploying ERC-20 tokens to the Base network. All tokens deployed by Clanker are subject to a 1% exchange fee, which may change at any time. Currently, 40% of this fee will reward the token requester...
