AI Agent and DeSci: Overview of Popular Tokens in Emerging Fields

Introduction

In the past six months, there has been an emerging trend of AI Agents and DeSci in the market. From a narrative perspective, AI Agents emphasize their tremendous potential in autonomous decision-making, data analysis, and task execution, adept at solving problems through algorithms; DeSci, on the other hand, is dedicated to breaking traditional barriers in scientific research using blockchain technology, achieving data sharing and transparency, and promoting decentralized knowledge sharing and research funding. This article will summarize the currently prominent and promising AI Agents and DeSci-related Tokens.

1. The Intelligent Wave of AI Agents

1.1 Overview of 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, achieving specific goals without human intervention, such as automatically monitoring data, analyzing anomalies, and making corresponding decisions. Its key characteristics are autonomy and goal orientation.

According to data from the platform, as of December 31, 2024, the current trend of AI is similar to the early stages of the DeFi boom in 2020-2021. The next day, an investment institution also proposed some ideas for AI Agents in 2025: AI agents need independent wallets; decentralized autonomous chatbots; as the use of artificial intelligence becomes more widespread, there is a greater need for unique proof of different AI personalities.

1.3 AI Agent Development Trend Analysis

The current on-chain data of the AI Agent craze is similar to the situation before the DeFi boom in 2020-2021, but Blockchain + AI is still unlikely to ignite an AI Summer. Certain public chains have become the main battleground, with high performance and high speculation being key to supporting AI Agents. Notable directions to pay attention to include computing power, infrastructure, Meme, launch platforms, and applications.

The application of AI agents in data analysis is more valuable. For example, they can analyze on-chain and market data to predict politicians' attitudes and enforcement efforts regarding cryptocurrency policies.

The transparent data advantages of blockchain provide a solid foundation for AI development. The on-chain opportunities for AI Agents are a combination of Fomo guidance and value investing. Current market speculation expectations are mainly reflected in:

1. The continuous rise of a certain project drives the overall market sentiment for AI Agents;
2. AI Agent autonomously iterates and evolves, the project's evolution shifts from manual to automatic;
3. The market analysis capabilities of certain projects are on par with KOLs;
4. New projects achieve great success through innovative models;
5. AI virtual humans and AI works are opening up new markets in non-cryptocurrency fields, and blockchain + AI narratives have a stronger breaking-the-boundaries effect.

2. New Directions in Life Sciences for DeSci

2.1 Overview of DeSci

DeSci( decentralized science) is a model built through Web3 technology to create a fair and equal scientific research infrastructure, aiming to address issues such as peer review, funding, intellectual property management, as well as data transparency and review mechanisms in scientific research. It attempts to introduce the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies into the non-speculative field of scientific research.

The concept of DeSci emerged as early as 2021, but it wasn't until recently when a trading platform invested in and launched a certain protocol, and industry-renowned figures participated in a DeSci-themed conference, that this sector gained renewed attention from the market.

2.2 Analysis of a well-known protocol

The protocol is a curation and liquidity protocol in the DeSci field, aimed at providing resource support for scientific research projects and promoting research innovation.

The core components include DAO, curation system, intellectual property tokenization and liquidity mechanisms, as well as incentive systems. Through multiple rounds of auctions and airdrop programs, a diverse and highly participatory community has been built.

A total of 7 sub-DAOs have been successfully launched, with 3 more currently in development. The launched sub-DAOs include:

• VITA: Focus on early longevity science research
• ATH: Focus on women's reproductive health research and drug development
• GROW: A decentralized community governance platform for anti-aging drugs and longevity projects.
• PSY: Focus on psychedelic science research
• HAIR: Committed to solving hair loss problems
• CRYO: Promoting research in the field of cryopreservation.
• NEURON: Committed to brain health research

The 3 sub-DAOs under development include:

• Long Covid Labs: Focus on research of long-term effects of COVID-19
• QuantumBioDAO: Dedicated to Quantum Biology Research
• Curetopia: Focused on genetic disease research

2.3 A certain ecological DeSci platform

The platform is a Meme launch platform introduced at a certain conference, which will issue Meme tokens representing pharmaceuticals. The related concept tokens are:

• RIF: Rifampicin, an antibiotic that has an effect on aging
• URO: Urolithin A, helps to clear old, dysfunctional mitochondria.
• TRACKEDBIO: Dedicated to improving the efficiency of drug translation from preclinical research to clinical trials.

2.4 Other related projects

• Scihub: Unofficial Token aimed at supporting open-source research paper websites.
• ANTI-Antitoken and PRO-Protoken: A pair of quantum entangled combination tokens
• WORM: The first on-chain digital brain
• GENOME: Gene Data Project
• GALEON: Innovating electronic health record management using blockchain technology
• DRUGS: Medical and Pharmaceutical Meme Token
• RSC: Tokenized academic social network

Conclusion: The Development Prospects of AI Agents and DeSci

Looking at the current market, DeSci and AI Agent are still primarily driven by Meme, but their fundamental attributes differ from other Meme logic:

• Fundamental differences: AI Agent has technical support and is more in line with the K-wave cycle operation of the commodity economy.
• Different ways to break the circle: DeSci requires external breaking of the circle, while AI Agent requires internal breaking of the circle.
• Growth logic differences: DeSci requires leading projects to drive it, while AI Agent needs to iterate its own fun.

In contrast, AI Agents align with market technological development expectations and have stronger out-of-the-box potential; DeSci benefits from the attention and investment of industry giants. In an environment lacking market innovation, AI Agents and DeSci may still become the main points of speculation in this bull market.
