Meme coins, AI, and DePIN are recognized as the three key pillars of Solana's expansion strategy for 2024. From the rise of meme coins to the success of eco-coins in the secondary market, it's clear that these strategies are being actively implemented.
Earlier this year, the Solana Foundation became involved with an AI protocol called TARS AI for the first time. The token TAI has increased sixfold in the past six months, closely tracking the performance of TAO.
Here’s a brief overview:
TARS AI is a modular infrastructure and one of the few Solana projects selected for both the Google Entrepreneurship Program and the NVIDIA Developer Program. It provides AI support to the Solana blockchain, leveraging Google Cloud as its underlying layer. Currently, it has over 1 million users.
In terms of funding, TARS AI has received backing from the Solana Foundation, and its team is composed of AI professionals. In September, IO NET officially partnered with TARS AI, providing a network of more than 11,000 GPUs and CPUs, which helps developers deploy AI models more quickly and efficiently on Solana
TARS AI offers five products: AI Hub, Space, Saft, Claimer, and Staking. The Staking feature is particularly important for token holders, as it offers attractive returns in a rising market, encouraging long-term holding. Additionally, TAI is a deflationary asset, with more than 90% of its supply currently locked, and the project is exploring ways to further boost the token's performance.
In summary, TARS AI's product diversity and the growing secondary market interest have contributed to its recent success. According to CMC data, the token’s market value is currently $350 million, ranking 429th globally, with the potential to move up to the 200-300 range.
