AI Agents are artificial intelligence entities designed to operate automatically and independently to perform specific tasks. AI Agents can receive information from the environment, process it, make decisions, and take actions to achieve their set goals.
Exploring the Ecosystem: AI Agents in the Crypto Market
Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly asserting its important role in many fields. Recently, AI Agents have emerged as a smart automation tool, helping to optimize processes and create breakthrough applications in life and work.
AI Agents in the crypto field are being exploited as intelligent assistants, supporting users with complex tasks such as data analysis, sharing perspectives, asset management, and transactions, thereby opening up powerful innovations.
In this article, we will explore AI Agents and discover this emerging ecosystem.
What are AI Agents?
AI Agents are artificial intelligence entities designed to operate automatically and independently to perform specific tasks. AI Agents can receive information from the environment, process it, make decisions, and take actions to achieve their set goals.
In general, there are several notable features of AI Agents:
- Autonomy
- Ability to interact with the environment
- Planning capability
- Learning and adaptation ability

The AI Agent Ecosystem
AI Agents are the hottest topic in the cryptocurrency market right now, with many projects achieving rapid growth of hundreds of times in a short period, leading to a rapid increase in the number of projects across all categories.
First, we need to know that AI Agents are not just a piece of the crypto market, their ecosystem is very large in the traditional technology field. Projects span from infrastructure, data collection, labeling, storage, reasoning models, computation, and security. Therefore, to avoid being scattered, within the scope of this article, we will only filter out the project groups that have the most connection with the cryptocurrency market.
We can categorize AI Agent projects into 4 main groups: Infrastructure, Agent Platform, AI Agent, and Memecoin.
