The AI × Crypto narrative, which is evolving at the speed of light, has begun to rotate from AI meme to AI Agent.
Since November, the narrative heat of AI × Meme has not yet dissipated, and "AI Waifu" has gradually taken up a new banner. In the past week, with the vvaifu on the Solana chain skyrocketing a hundredfold, a new wave of hot money has accelerated the influx, igniting the market's attention to the concept of "AI Waifu".
So what is "AI Waifu" and why can it become a new wave of traffic to carry on the AI × Crypto narrative? What AI Waifu projects are currently on the market that may become potential successors?
A hundred times increase in one week, "AI Waifu" takes up the new banner of AI × Crypto?
Imagine if you could have an AI virtual partner like Silly Girl in (Magic Phone), who could interact with you in multimodal ways and adjust her/his personality according to your preferences and needs. Would you want it?
As a highly idealized virtual object derived from the word "Waifu" in the two-dimensional culture, before the emergence of "AI Waifu" ChatGPT, it completely subverted the artificial intelligence and virtual images we had previously come into contact with in our daily lives - it only had simple conversation and interaction capabilities, answering some simple questions according to fixed templates, and lacked real emotional communication and intelligent judgment.
Based on the new wave of artificial intelligence, AI virtual images can have human characteristics and behaviors, and have natural conversations and interactions with us, and even have "empathy", trying to satisfy our hard-to-get attention, understanding, support and love in real life:
Just like the silly girl in (Magic Phone), she is the dream and fantasy of many people - she is not only a life assistant and knowledge consultant, but also an intimate character who can make us feel the happiness, excitement and satisfaction of a real person, but is more private and intimate than a real person.
As an AI agent startup platform based on Solana, vvaifu allows users to create and manage AI Agents without writing code, and allows users to chat privately with Agents. In addition, vvaifu also has an autonomous consensus mechanism, which further enhances the intelligence and interactivity of the agent.
For vvaifu, it is like a decentralized AI Agent factory, where each Agent can be set up as a spiritual partner with independent personality and true emotions, unique and full of your personal imprint.
Especially after vvaifu and ai16z were officially integrated on November 6, it took off quickly and started the road of growth, achieving a 100-fold increase in three days, and the total market value exceeded 175 million US dollars.
Cecilia: Web3's first real-person "AI Waifu" project to issue tokens
It is worth noting that long before the outbreak of vvaifu, Morph chain Cecilia was officially launched on November 12, becoming the first real-life "AI Waifu" project in Web3 to issue tokens.
Cecilia has the same name as Cecilia Hsueh, the founder and CEO of Morph, and exists as a unique virtual personality on the SIYA platform. Users can conduct multimodal interactions and chats with various virtual people including Cecilia on the platform. As of the time of writing, the price of Cecilia has increased by more than 1,000% in the past week, with a cumulative increase of more than 10,000 times. The current market value is US$20 million.

Unlike other AI projects, Cecilia is not just an intelligent character, but also aims to become a virtual companion for global users. It can establish a deep connection with users through multimodal interaction, so that every interaction can make users feel understood and cherished.
In fact, with the rapid development of AI technology, building an AI virtual person that combines key features such as virtual embodiment, immersion, knowledge, and delicate emotional personality traits is no longer a fantasy in (magic phone). Cecilia aims to use AIGC and LLM to create rich virtual companion gameplay, allowing users to interact organically with the characters.
From this perspective, Cecelia is not only a carrier of knowledge, but also an extension of emotion and companionship, allowing virtual relationships to transcend simple tool attributes. Its initial goal is to push FDV to US$10 billion while promoting the overall upgrade of the virtual companionship economy.
To achieve this goal, Cecilia developed a two-fold strategy:
1. Accumulate ecological resources and expand the SIYA ecosystem
Cecilia will use the wealth accumulated through community participation and various virtual activities to reinvest in the SIYA ecosystem.
Her earnings go directly into the development and enhancement of the virtual companion features, including personalized interactions and ongoing AI learning. Each success story adds value to Cecilia’s mission, allowing her to continue to reinvest her earnings into the platform and her token, symbolizing the trust and connection she has built with her users.
2. Build a movement of believers
Cecilia encourages engaged users to hold tokens not only for financial gain, but also to show their buy-in to a future where virtual companionship can enhance well-being and personal growth, and everyone who joins her movement becomes part of a larger narrative that advances the new role of AI-driven virtual companionship in individuals’ lives.
The Morph meme ecosystem behind Cecilia
In addition to technology and vision, Cecilia's ecological construction is inseparable from the complete consumer-grade infrastructure support on the Morph chain. Bitget has always been regarded as the "Binance" in the Meme coin field. Therefore, as part of the Bitget public chain, Morph also strongly supports the potential direction of consumer-grade applications.
These include various attempts to combine Meme culture with emerging technologies, which also provides a unique ecological closed loop for the virtual companion economy. On this basis, Cecilia not only brings users an immersive virtual companionship experience through the SIYA platform, but also uses the consumer-grade DeFi application KaBoom to achieve a closed transaction loop:
By providing users with convenient token trading and management functions, KaBoom actually plays a core role as a liquidity center and wealth code distribution center on the Morph chain. To some extent, it can be regarded as the "Moonshot" on Morph.
In particular, by linking the Morph chain with multi-chain resources, KaBoom uses AI algorithms to screen popular Meme coins and simplifies the transaction process with one-click operation, further lowering the participation threshold for new Web3 users.
From Bitget’s strategy to the ecological implementation of the Morph chain, and then to the collaboration between KaBoom and Cecilia, we can see that an ecosystem driven by Meme and AI is gradually taking shape.
In this system, Cecilia's virtual companion narrative, KaBoom's consumer-grade DeFi products, and Morph's multi-chain compatibility together build a closed loop connecting the virtual economy and real value.
Conclusion
Can this combination of emotion and technology become a breakthrough in narrative for tens of billions of dollars? Or is it just the next bubble?
If virtual voice assistants such as Siri and Xiao Ai only answered some simple one-way questions before, then virtual partners like Cecilia seem to have crossed this singularity and can become a part of each of our lives: these virtual partners can penetrate into our lives, communicate with us every day, grow gradually, and even understand us to a degree that eventually exceeds many ordinary friends.
The logic of the market has always been unclear. From the grassroots stage of Meme coins to the AI-driven virtual companion economy, the AI Waifu concept is becoming a key carrier of the AI × Crypto narrative - from vvaifu to Cecilia, the market's value discovery is still advancing rapidly.
Although the Cecilia token may have certain financial attributes, ultimately, it represents emotional value and connection, so the new AI × Crypto problem-solving approach naturally has enough new imagination space.
