The cryptocurrency market is on a sellers’ course before the new year. However, there are also those who challenge this decline in the market. One of them is the AI Coin project AI16Z. In a recent development, contributors to the Agentic AI project envisage an AI-focused layer-1 with AI16Z as a native token
AI Coin project will launch Blockchain, token on the rise!
Agentic artificial intelligence platform ai16z plans to launch its own layer-1 (L1) blockchain network. The AI coin project aims to do so as part of a broader tokenomics overhaul. According to a post on the governance forum, the project is considering creating a platform similar to pump.fun to launch AI agents. The post also includes that it plans to position ai16z as an L1 Blockchain for artificial intelligence.
ai16z contributors envisage the AI tool launch pad as ‘the primary way to implement “flywheel” tokenomics that add value to ai16z, the project’s native token.’ According to the blog post, ‘Proposed mechanics include charging a % of launch fees, holding ai16z for allocation, using ai16z for initial agent offerings [and] pairing agent tokens with ai16z in liquidity pools.’ Meanwhile, L1 in the proposal will be ‘open source with node incentives’ with the AI16Z token. Amid these developments, the AI coin price has seen a significant rise despite the market decline. At the time of writing, the token was trading at $1.46, up over 212% on a daily basis.
Rapid rise
Meanwhile, AI16Z has reached a market capitalisation of around $1.5 billion since its launch in October. Ai16z describes itself as ‘the first DAO run by AI agents,’ according to its website. Using its flagship AI operating system Eliza, ai16z aims to ‘leverage AI and collective intelligence to make investment decisions.’ According to data on Daos.fun, the autonomous investment fund already manages an onchain liquidity pool. In addition, its annual return allegedly approached 25 per cent. The Eliza operating system powers a dozen Web3 AI agents, according to elizas.world.
Artificial intelligence intermediaries and market development
As you follow from Kriptokoin.com, a report published by VanEck revealed some striking data. Accordingly, as of December, Blockchain networks are home to about 10,000 AI agents. These earn millions of dollars every week from on-chain activities. The asset manager expects 1 million AI agents to populate Blockchain networks by the end of 2025. In 2024, AI coin projects collectively rose to $10 billion in market capitalisation. The majority of this occurred in Q4. J.D. Seraphine, Web3 AI developer at Raiinmaker, said that in 2025, ‘AI agents are expected to take on a more prominent role within decentralised communities.’
