On January 10, PANews reported that members of teams from Coinbase, Google, ai16z, and other major players have joined forces to launch Aiccelerate, a new decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) aimed at accelerating the integration of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence (AI). An announcement on January 9 revealed that this DAO will focus on promoting decentralized, open-source AI development and supporting high-potential projects across various ecosystems. Furthermore, Aiccelerate positions itself as a DAO that balances both investment and development. Its main mission is to drive innovation in what it calls the 'agent AI' field. The DAO aims to establish a collaborative community made up of top developers from multiple frameworks. These experts will contribute to a range of agents and tools designed to advance the organization's goals.
In addition, Aiccelerate will unify its initiatives through a token called AICC. The DAO will use part of the profits to buy back its native token. The list of development advisors includes Shaw, founder of ai16z, EtherMage, core contributor of Virtuals Protocol, Nader Dabit, head of developer relations at EigenLayer, and Jason Zhao, co-founder of Story Protocol. In terms of investment, Aiccelerate's advisors include Andrew Kang and Marc Weinstein from Mechanism Capital, Justin Lee from Coinbase Ventures, and Anil Lulla from Delphi Digital.
