With the skyrocketing market value of AI agents during the holiday season, cryptocurrency enthusiasts are on the lookout for early investment opportunities.
During the gold rush of new agents and tokens, it is almost impossible to distinguish useful information from noise, but if you can combine the data with the right parameters and arguments, the data can become a pillar for investment.
The following five tools can become essential applications to help mine opportunities in AI agents:
Cookie.fun
Cookie.fun is a popular native tool for agents that is gaining attention. The biggest highlight for free users is their token dashboard, which showcases engagement-centered metrics, highlighting share and impressions relative to price action.
You can also filter certain AI agents, such as those launched on Virtuals or other agents using the ai16z Eliza framework. It’s not only a great tool for viewing top AI agents, but it can also capture some agents that are rising in share before they are noticed across the entire crypto space.
The platform offers perks for free users, but there are many features behind a paywall, although unlocking these features requires locking up to 10,000 COOKIE tokens, currently trading at $0.65.
Arkham
Assuming you want to track the wallets of these AI agents to understand how they are performing. Once you find the wallet of the AI agent you need, Arkham is a simple yet excellent tool. The Arkham dashboard tracks their holdings, balance history, and any type of transactions made within the wallet.
A great use case for Arkham is tracking the fund performance of Vader AI. Currently, aside from updates on Twitter, Vader AI does not provide a way to track its performance on its website. However, with this Arkham dashboard, you can get all the information you need in one place.
Dune
Compared to other tools on this list, Dune is a unique data tool because it heavily relies on its community. Anyone can create queries through Dune, extract on-chain data, and generate dashboards to create useful visualizations.
You can search for almost any AI agent on Dune, and there’s a good chance a dashboard or query has already been created. For example, if you search for ai16z on Dune, one of the hottest results is a dashboard that provides insights that are hard to find elsewhere. It highlights the tokens held by ai16z, how their token holdings are performing, and some statistics about the ai16z token itself, such as DEX trading volume.
You don’t have to be a SQL expert to create your own dashboards. You can see the queries behind the dashboards and feel free to modify them based on any information you want to look up.
Kaito.AI
Kaito.ai is a tool similar to Cookie.fun, with its main product displaying not only other trends and memes but also the attention share occupied by individual AI agents. Their leaderboard screen shows the most significant daily increases and decreases in attention share over the past three months.
For those who frequently use Twitter, tweet, and initiate discussions, Kaito.ai is also a great tool. They recently completed the Yaps campaign, where users could earn Yaps by initiating discussions on crypto-related topics on Twitter.
Sentient Market
The last tool, which has been overlooked but may be the most useful, is Sentient Market. There, you can look up almost any AI agent and see a dashboard specific to that agent displaying only the information related to it.
For example, if you search for AIXBT on Sentient Market, it will not only show you metrics related to the performance of the AIXBT token, but also some crazy statistics surrounding its tweets. It tracks the best calls for AIXBT, average returns, and tweet sentiment. Alternatively, if you look for Virtuals, it will display a dashboard showing the number of agents launched and the total amount of VIRTUAL spent on launching AI agents.
