According to PANews on January 10, as reported by Cryptoslate, team members from Coinbase, Google, ai16z, and other major players have teamed up 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 indicated that the DAO will focus on promoting decentralized, open-source AI development and supporting high-potential projects across different ecosystems. Furthermore, Aiccelerate positions itself as a DAO that emphasizes both investment and development. Its primary mission is to drive innovation in what it calls the 'agent AI' space. The DAO aims to establish a collaborative community made up of top developers across multiple frameworks. These experts will contribute to a range of agents and tools designed to advance the organization's goals.
Additionally, Aiccelerate will unify its initiatives through a token called AICC. The DAO will use a portion of its profits to buy back its native tokens. The list of development advisors includes ai16z founder Shaw, core contributor of Virtuals Protocol EtherMage, developer relations lead at EigenLayer Nader Dabit, and co-founder of Story Protocol Jason Zhao. 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.
