There is plenty of upside potential for Crypto AI protocols. Here are several areas I'm paying close attention to right now: - Competitive open source (decentralized) AI models - AI governance and DAO automation/co-ordination - AI revenue backed (compute, inference, etc) synthetic dollars/yield - Agents working cohesively in teams, solving real world problems using permissionless payment rails to operate efficiently - Physical AI bringing in the next wave of retail attention through AI enabled robotics - AI powered InfoFi and the alignment between social and capital allocation - Improved data pipelines (using AI/agents) to refine signal through the noise - Improved automated yield + DeFi optimization using AI/Agents - The launch of agentic applications and disruption on (or enhancement to) traditional app stores - The rise of new AI-enabled skillsets to empower workforces - Value alignment between AI + human... I don't think the Super-Grok Waifu companion is all humanity has in the locker Other areas impacting AI + broader crypto: - Vibe coding tools and the rise of single Founder Unicorns - Superior token value accrual mechanisms, and improved clarity around equities + tokens - Crypto treasury companies integrating the underlying crypto assets into their business models - On chain verification systems to combat deep fakes and enable automated IP royalty payments If you are aware of any protocols developing these solutions/products let me know in the comments below
