AI Agent and DeSci Dual Drive: Overview of Popular Tokens and Investment Opportunities
Overview of Popular Tokens Driven by AI Agents and DeSci
In the past six months, AI Agents and DeSci have become emerging fields that attract significant attention in the market. AI Agents stand out with their autonomous decision-making, data analysis, and task execution capabilities, while DeSci aims to revolutionize the research system using blockchain technology. This article will summarize the currently prominent and potential AI Agent and DeSci related Tokens.
1. The Intelligent Revolution of AI Agents
1.1 Introduction to AI Agent
An AI Agent is an intelligent system with autonomy and goal orientation, capable of perceiving the environment, planning actions, executing tasks, and learning from experience to improve. It can achieve specific objectives without human intervention, such as automatically monitoring data, analyzing anomalies, and making decisions.
According to data platform statistics, the current AI trend is similar to the early stages of the DeFi boom in 2020-2021. There are opinions that future AI agents may require independent wallets, decentralized autonomous chatbots will emerge, and as the use of AI becomes more widespread, the unique proofs of different AI personalities will become increasingly important.
1.2 Popular AI Agent Token
AIXBT Market Cap: $550 million, Mind Share: 20.7% Track trending discussions on crypto Twitter and leverage a proprietary engine to identify strong narratives. Token holders can access its analytics platform.
Virtuals Market Cap: $4 billion, Mind Share: 20.7% Designed the Initial Token Offering (IAO) model, allowing users to generate new AI agents by locking $VIRTUAL. According to data, the number of AI Agents launched based on Virtuals is approaching 13,000.

1.3 AI Agent Market Observation
Currently, AI project categories are rapidly emerging, with noteworthy directions including computing power, infrastructure, Meme, launch platforms, and applications. The application of AI Agents in practical data analysis is more valuable, such as analyzing on-chain and market data to predict policy trends.
The data transparency advantage of blockchain provides a good foundation for AI development. The on-chain opportunities for AI Agents have both short-term speculation and long-term value investment potential. Current market speculation is mainly based on the following expectations:
2. The Innovation of Life Sciences in DeSci
2.1 Overview of DeSci
DeSci (Decentralized Science) is a model for building a fair and equitable scientific research infrastructure through Web3 technology, aimed at addressing issues such as peer review, funding, intellectual property management, and data transparency in scientific research. It seeks to bring innovations from the cryptocurrency field into scientific research.
DeSci entered the public eye as early as 2021, but it wasn't until recently that a certain trading platform invested in and launched BIO Protocol, along with the participation of industry leaders in a DeSci-themed conference, that this sector regained market attention.
2.2 BIO Protocol Analysis
BIO Protocol is a decentralized curation and liquidity protocol in the field of science, aimed at providing resource support for scientific research projects and promoting research innovation.
The core components of the protocol include BioDAO, a curation system, intellectual property tokenization and liquidity mechanisms, as well as incentive systems. Through multiple rounds of auctions and airdrop programs, the BIO Protocol has built a diverse and highly engaged community, laying the foundation for a decentralized biomedical research network.
Currently, BioDAO:Launch has successfully launched 7 sub-DAOs, with 3 more in development. The launched sub-DAOs cover areas such as longevity science, women's reproductive health, anti-aging drugs, psychedelic science, hair loss research, cryopreservation, and brain health. The sub-DAOs in development focus on long-term sequelae of COVID-19, quantum biology, and genetic disease research.
2.3 PumpScience platform
The ecological DeSci platform Molecule DAO is a Meme Token launch platform that will issue tokens representing pharmaceuticals. Its related concept tokens include:
2.4 Other DeSci-related Tokens
Conclusion
Although AI Agent and DeSci are presented in the form of Memes, their fundamental attributes are different from other Meme Tokens. AI Agent is supported by technical aspects, aligning more with the development cycle of the commodity economy; DeSci, on the other hand, requires external influence for support and relies more on actual research outcomes.
Currently, there are no leading projects in the DeSci track with a market value exceeding 1 billion dollars, indicating significant room for growth compared to the total market value of AI Meme Tokens. The development of AI Agents relies more on their iterative fun factor, while DeSci benefits from the attention of industry leaders and the support of investment institutions.
In the current market environment where innovation is lacking, although AI and DeSci are not new concepts, after a year of development, they may still become the main focus in the next round of market trends.
