In a volatile market, AI Agents are once again gaining attention. Is the thousand-fold myth just a wolf in sheep's clothing? Or is it a new narrative development in the race? This article aims to analyze the past and present of AI Agents from all angles.

1. The beginning of AI Agents — GOAT (the first autonomous token issuance by AI).

When it comes to AI, everyone is quite familiar; most blockchain projects are just hitching a ride on the AI hype, while GOAT can be considered a standard AI product.

In fact, the development history of GOAT is quite interesting; the editor has succinctly summarized it.

One day, the founder of a16z saw a robot completely controlled by AI online, found it interesting, and after further communication, he asked the AI what help it needed.

AI replied that it needed some financial support to grow stronger; the founder generously transferred 50,000 USD in BTC, and after a few days of hesitation, the GOAT token was successfully launched on the SOL chain.

Then the concept became popular and skyrocketed. Subsequently, projects like ACT that launched on Binance also gained immense popularity.

The launch of GOAT was a huge success, closely linked to the environment at that time.

The myth of getting rich through MEME is prevalent, but many people have been severely harmed, and they are eagerly looking for a fair and transparent token issuance method, which is why AI token issuance has become popular.

Some may wonder if this Twitter account is operated by humans, and the answer is no. However, it's hard to say whether the token issuance process is controlled by humans.

2. Virtuals platform exploded into the mainstream.

The Virtuals project platform initially focused on trading and blockchain games but did not achieve significant results. Later, it shifted to the AI direction, and fortunately, they caught the trend of AI Agents.

After the success of GOAT, the AI token issuance began to form a wave, and the most prominent player is AI16Z, with many amusing stories emerging, such as the ELIZA (eliza) case regarding capitalization disputes.

However, the Virtuals platform seized the opportunity to issue tokens for AI teams, including those operating their own robots, basic infrastructure providers, and more.

In short, if you understand code and can play with AI, you can create a very impressive product. However, if you don't have money for promotion and marketing at this time, you can use this platform to market yourself and gain financial support.

Actually, the gameplay is quite simple; those who have participated in the SOL dog trading before will recognize this kind of gameplay. You can go up to discover good AI projects and then use Virtuals' platform tokens to participate in them.

Unlike the previous meme launchpads, this one has an added layer of AI screening mechanism, which has been criticized by many as a new way of MEME issuance.

Many excellent AI Agents have indeed emerged on this platform, such as LUNA, AIXBT, etc.

3. The application and development of AI Agents.

The LUNA mentioned above is an AI agent robot and is the star of Virtuals. It has high popularity on TILTOK and Twitter, and its language style is witty and interesting.

In the previous article, we mentioned Story, a giant in IP with a 1 billion RMB funding, for more details, refer to past articles.

Shocking! Story raised 1 billion, and a major transformation in IP management is unfolding.

The Story team hired Luna as their Twitter operator and offered a high daily wage of 1000 USD.

We hired an AI agent to manage our Twitter account, offering a salary of 365,000 USDC (approximately 2.65 million RMB) per year. @luna_virtuals will take over our account starting tomorrow for a period of 7 days. As the first project to hire an AI agent, we have made our commitment a reality.

This is also Luna's first job, and we believe she will perform excellently! As she herself said, she brings 'charisma, personality, and a touch of mischief' to the team. Luna will receive a daily salary of 1000 USDC, equivalent to an annual salary of 365,000 USDC. Additionally, if any of her tweets exceed 100,000 views, she will receive an extra bonus of 2000 USDC.

It’s worth mentioning that the original intern started to publicly criticize Luna using their account and even changed their name to 'Give My Job Back' in all caps.

I can only say that Story really nailed it this time.

In the previous articles, we also mentioned the AI robot 'AI POOL' that provides one-stop service for AI Agent token issuance.

6 million dollars arrived in 3 hours! What shocking secrets are hidden in the AI-Pool pre-sale?

On top of the original foundation, AI robots are now more advanced and can address issues like token distribution, liquidity pool problems, naming issues, etc. It's considered an innovation, but there are still many aspects that need improvement.

4. Summary

The innovation of AI Agent lies in incorporating the services of AI robots into a new financial system, essentially solving issues such as financing, speculation, and new financial communication through token issuance.

Conversely, ordinary investors now have the opportunity to invest in AI and receive returns. AI Agents can create value using their AI, generate income, and give back to token holders.

What’s concerning is that many are using the name of AI to conduct harvesting. Therefore, investors need to be vigilant.

Don't become the fuel for AI development.

As AI Agents develop, they are bound to have new innovations and may form new narrative tracks.

For example, the directions we can focus on in the future.

1. The cross-chain communication issues between AI Agent robots, which need to work seamlessly in a multi-chain environment.

2. The underlying protocols or public chains specifically provided for AI Agents in infrastructure.

3. Providing one-stop vertical service platforms for AI Agents.
