The recent meme season on the chain ecosystem has attracted attention to the BNB Chain, with CZ and He Yi, the two co-founders of BNB, frequently interacting with the community. This has been further fueled by the recent launch of Alpha2.0 and the BNB Good Will Alliance, a mechanism to prevent malicious MEV bots, by Binance.
In this BNB Chain hype, the AI protocol MyShell has also seized the opportunity to collaborate with Four meme to launch a brand-new AI Agent launch platform, becoming a focus of attention for ecosystem users in the short term.
What is Shell Launchpad?
Shell Launchpad is an AI Agent token launch platform launched by the BNB Chain AI protocol Myshell on the BNB Chain on the 17th, allowing users to tokenize their self-built AI Agents after creating them on Myshell.
According to the official introduction, the issuance technology behind Shell Launchpad is provided by the well-known BNB Chain token launch platform Fourmeme.

How to create your own AI Agent?
First, we go to the creation workshop of myshell, where we can see the interface for creating an Agent. In the interface, users can first change the profile picture, set the name, NFSW settings, and a simple description of the AI Agent.
Then we can see that the Agent provides three modes, and the official data explains these three modes as follows:
- Basic Mode – Very suitable for beginners to build basic AI agents. It has an intuitive interface where you can select LLM models and write prompts.
- Developer Mode – Low-code options for advanced developers. It combines AI tools with human-controlled logic, making it easier to build interactive state machines.
- ShellAgent Mode – A no-code professional framework for building multi-agent applications.
Since the author is also a novice in AI, we choose the "Basic Mode".
After selecting the mode, we need to first fill in the greeting, then select the prompt configuration, and in the model configuration below, users can choose large language models such as GPT, Claude and Gemini.
The prompts set by the user will directly affect the effectiveness of the AI Agent's output, so the more accurate the prompts, the better. In addition, Myshell also provides various components and tools to help users, and there is also a function to enhance the prompts, which can make the AI Agent's response more accurate.
The Agent prompt tested by the author is:
"When chatting with the AI Agent, the Agent will respond to any question raised by the user with the sound of a mouse's "squeak"."
In addition, MyShell also provides Agent voice configuration, allowing users to give the Agent their favorite voice, or they can also record their own voice.
Finally, MyShell also provides application software integration, allowing users' AI Agents to connect to various social platforms, although the current version is still in Beta and many communities cannot be connected. In the knowledge base, users can import external information into the AI Agent, allowing the Agent to acquire more professional knowledge.
After the setup is complete, you can click Save to save it.
After the AI Agent is ready, the author let the Agent write a 200-word article, and the Agent gave a 200-word "squeak" response according to the set prompt.
If you are not satisfied with the Agent's response or want to modify it, you can click "Settings" to return to the Agent creation page for modification.
How to create a token?
Next, we click on the "Launch Platform Shell Launchpad" on the left column to enter the page. We need to first import a small amount of BNB to the address provided by Shell Launchpad, and then click the "Launch" button in the top right corner to select the self-created AI Agent to start creating the token.
Then we will come to the token setting page. Shell Launchpad provides options for the type of token to be raised, the total token supply, the total fundraising amount, and the issuance time for users to choose from. After filling in, we can create the token.
According to the calculation, the process of issuing tokens requires about 0.0014 BNB, and users can prepare it in advance before creation.
After the creation is complete, you can click "Shell Launchpad" -> "My Portfolio" to view the issued tokens.
Note: This token is only a test token and has no association with BlockTempo.
Current Status of the Shell Launchpad Ecosystem
After the launch of Shell Launchpad on the 17th, the market capitalization of the leading AI Agent token Shello once soared to $1.7 million, but the ecosystem did not maintain its momentum, and Shello's market capitalization subsequently declined to $350,000. With the lack of progress in the ecosystem's leading project, other AI Agent tokens also struggled to gain traction.
As of now, Shell Launchpad has launched a total of 14 projects, with only one having a market capitalization above $100,000.
Conclusion
While the short-term market trends of the launched tokens may have misled some investors, Myshell is a platform that has created many successful AI products in Web2. Both the Base chain and the Solana chain have successful precedents of AI Agent token launch platforms, such as the recently popular Virtuals Protocol and Vvaifu fun.
Therefore, the explosive AI Agent of Shell Launchpad may still be in development or yet to be discovered, and the recent improvements in the user experience and market enthusiasm of the BNB Chain may increase investors' interest in exploring the AI products within the Shell Launchpad ecosystem. As a result, the author has chosen to include it in the potential observation list.
BlockTempo reminds that the narratives in the crypto market change rapidly, and liquidity is also affected by the overall economic environment. Under the current high uncertainty, investors still need to carefully assess the token price and project risks.
