Overview of Popular Memes Driven by AI Agents and DeSci

Preface

In the past six months, there has been a surge in the market regarding AI Agents and DeSci. From a narrative perspective, AI Agents focus on their immense potential in autonomous decision-making, data analysis, and task execution, excelling at solving problems through algorithms; while DeSci is dedicated to using blockchain technology to break down traditional barriers in research, achieving data sharing and transparency, and promoting decentralized knowledge sharing and research funding. This article will summarize and outline the currently prominent and potentially significant tokens related to AI Agents and DeSci.

1. The Intelligent Chariot of AI Agents

1.1 Overview of AI Agent

An AI Agent is an intelligent system that possesses autonomy and goal orientation, capable of perceiving its 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 features are autonomy and goal orientation.

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

1.2 Popular Token Review

The following are some popular AI Agent related tokens:

• AIXBT: Market cap of $550 million, tracks trending discussions on crypto Twitter and identifies strong potential narratives and games.
• Virtuals: Market value of $4 billion, designed an Initial Asset Offering (IAO) model, allowing users to generate new AI agents by locking tokens.

1.3 AI Agent Market Analysis

At this stage, the AI Agent craze in on-chain data resembles the situation before the DeFi boom in 2020-2021. Base and Solana have become the main battlegrounds, where high performance and high speculation are key to supporting AI Agents. Notable directions to pay attention to include computing power, infrastructure, memes, launch platforms, and applications.

The application of AI Agents in practical data analysis is more valuable. The transparency of blockchain data provides a good foundation for the development of AI. The current market hype expectations for AI Agents mainly focus on the following points:

1. The continuous surge of certain projects has triggered FOMO sentiment in the overall market;
2. AI Agent spontaneously iterates and evolves, transitioning the project from manual to automated.
3. Social media analytics tools provide new perspectives for assessing market trends;
4. The new launch platform has achieved great success through innovative models;
5. AI virtual humans and AI works have already opened up a mature market in non-cryptocurrency fields, which helps break the barriers for blockchain + AI narratives.

2. The Life Sciences Carriage of DeSci

2.1 Overview of DeSci

DeSci (Decentralized Science) is a model that builds a fair and equal scientific research infrastructure through Web3 technology, aiming to address issues such as peer review, funding, intellectual property management, as well as data transparency and auditing mechanisms in scientific research. It attempts to bring the speculative nature of the cryptocurrency world into the non-speculative field of scientific research.

Although the concept of DeSci emerged as early as 2021, it wasn't until recently that a trading platform invested in and launched related projects, and well-known industry figures participated in DeSci-themed conferences, that this sector regained market attention.

2.2 BioDAO Protocol

BioDAO Protocol is a decentralized curatorial and liquidity protocol in the field of science, aimed at providing resource support for scientific research projects and promoting scientific innovation. The core components of this protocol include BioDAO, a curation system, intellectual property tokenization and liquidity mechanisms, as well as incentive systems.

Currently, BioDAO:Launch has successfully launched 7 sub-DAOs, with 3 more in development. The launched sub-DAOs include VITA, ATH, GROW, PSY, HAIR, CRYO, and NEURON, each focusing on different fields of life science research. The sub-DAOs in development include Long Covid Labs, QuantumBioDAO, and Curetopia.

2.3 PumpScience

PumpScience is a DeSci platform in the Solana ecosystem that issues Meme tokens representing pharmaceuticals on a certain trading platform. Related concept tokens include:

• RIF: Represents Rifampin, an antibiotic that has garnered attention for its potential effects on aging.
• URO: Stands for Urostone A, a compound that aids in the "spring cleaning" of cells.
• TRACKEDBIO: Committed to improving the drug translation efficiency from preclinical research to clinical trials.

2.4 Other related projects

• Scihub: An unofficial token aimed at supporting the open-source research paper website.
• ANTI and PRO: A pair of quantum entangled combination tokens that express support and opposition to Meme Tokens.
• WORM: The first on-chain digital brain that makes self-decisions by deploying biological neural networks on the chain.
• GENOME: A genomic data project focused on monetizing genomic data using DeFi.
• GALEON: Revolutionizing electronic health record management using blockchain technology.
• DRUGS: A medical and pharmaceutical Meme coin aimed at disrupting traditional large pharmaceutical companies.
• RSC: A tokenized social network that rewards scientists for publicly sharing academic content.

Conclusion: The Market Prospects of AI Agents and DeSci

Although AI Agent and DeSci are both primarily driven by Memes, their fundamental properties differ from those of other Memes:

1. AI Agent is supported by technology, aligns with the cyclical operation of the commodity economy, and its narrative ability requires more "technology."
2. DeSci needs to break out externally, relying on real individuals with a research background; AI Agent needs to break out internally, focusing on practicality and fun.
3. The DeSci track has yet to see a leading project with a market value of 1 billion; its growth relies more on projects driven by well-known institutional investments, while the AI Agent needs to continually iterate its gameplay.

Overall, AI Agents align more with the expected technological developments in the market and have stronger potential for going mainstream; DeSci benefits from the attention of industry leaders and support from investment institutions. In the current environment of insufficient market innovation, AI Agents and DeSci are still expected to become major focal points of speculation in the upcoming bull market.
