In the crypto field, most AI Agent projects quickly lose momentum primarily because they neglect systematic construction. Once a key link deviates, the momentum will dissipate and be overtaken by competitors who are comprehensively advancing in product, token, social agents, and narrative. True competitive advantage is not just a single breakthrough, but building an organic self-growth system composed of AI products, token economics, social agents, and founder narratives.
Currently, the AI Agent track is still in its early stages, mostly driven by independent developers, small teams, or AI engineers transitioning from Web2, who need to cross multiple knowledge barriers including product, on-chain operations, token design, and social operations. This article will provide a clear strategic guide for newcomers, focusing the on core pillars of AI Agent construction in the crypto field to help create build projects with long-term viability.
I. Core Driving Force: AI Product
The core product of an AI Agent is the cornerstone of its value proposition, which must be clear, compelling, and have a unique advantage in the crypto industry. In the crypto field, merely having functionality is not enough. The real energy comes from combining autonomous decision-making capabilities with permissionless on-chain execution, allowing Agents to continuously evolve without human intervention. Specifically, application scenarios of on-chain autonomous value generation include:
Predictive Trading Bot: Automatically execute high-win-rate trading strategies;
DeFAI Agents: Autonomously discover profit opportunities, rebalance in real, asset appreciation;
Entertainment IP Meme/cultural content, generate content, sell peripherals or license IP;Game/Verse Agents: Achieve on-chain income by participating in games or betting activities.
, of of AI Agent cycle, rely on ""fuel" to drive collaboration user, investor, and community collaboration and growth, and this fuel the is the token.Catalyst: Token>is the economic skeleton and incentive mechanism of the entire ecosystem. Many teams often overlook token design when developing products, but in fact, a reasonable token model is crucial for sustainable growth. Effective token usage strategies include:Community Building: Learn from MEME coin practices, create unified communication channels and organized social media promotion;
Basic Token Flywheel: First, access the product through token threshold to stimulate early demand; second, accumulate treasury through transaction fees; finally, gradually introduce revenue--based buyback/burn mechanisms to consolidate token value;
Level 1 (Dialogue Bot): Based on its own dataset, engage in in-depth interaction with users (e.g., @aixbt_agent)_agent);
<> 2( -based Bot): direct Execute on-chain operations through social interface, demonstrating practical value ((e.g., @bankankr@clankeronbase);Level 3 (-AI Agent):):): Currently emerging, capable of predicting actions and and collaborating with other Agents, such as @virtuals_io's ACP framework frameworkeworkACP framework, @otfun's s.yzo
However However, even if the social AI Agent is done is done well, ultimately depends on the narrative ability led by the founders.In the field, founders must personally become the project's biggest promoter. Effective founder marketing strategies include:<>
-frequency transparent updates on progress;<>Interact with the community through diverse content formats.
Of course, if the core AI Agent product itself has sufficient value, token utility can be gradually supplemented later. However, if the token model is weak, the project's growth will be extremely limited.
In the third quarter of , truth_("GOAT") went viral and and sparked market interest in "social AI Agents". Although numerous ineffective imitators followed, GOAT proved the feasibility of releasing actual value through direct social interaction. Therefore, social AI Agents can be divided into four levels:
<><>Level 0 (Inferior Bot): Simply copy information, with garbage content that damages brand image;In the crypto world, trust and reputation are the most valuable assets. Founders who are willing to step forward and speak for the project usually gain an overwhelming advantage. Founders who have done well in this aspect previously include:
HeyAnon founder @danielesesta
Acolyt founder @condzxyz
ElizaOS founder @shawmakesmagic
Comprehensive FlyWh: PillSynergy
When these four elements work together, they form a self-reinforgrowth system:
AI Product: Use value,;
Token Economics: Incentivize continuous participation, bind community relationships;
Social AI Agent: Amplify dissemination, passerusers;
Founder Narrative: Consolidate trust longterm stickiness.
This is not just about building a product, but creating an-that canate continuously compound growth. In the future, projects that will truly stand out are those teams that deeply integrate products, products, token economics,,, AI Agents, and founder narratives into a closed-loop flywheel system.
