Getting Started: The Basics of Investing in AI Agents

During this period, I have shared with everyone some of my views on the AI agent track and my outlook on its investment prospects. In the comments at the end of these articles, I found that many readers still lack a certain understanding of some relatively important basic knowledge, so in this article, I will introduce some relevant knowledge to everyone.

I. Relevant information channels

To gain a deeper understanding of the various projects and detailed information in this track, in addition to some well-known media within the circle (such as BlockBeats, TechFlow, PANews, etc.), Twitter (x.com) is indispensable.

Often, first-hand materials are first released on Twitter. Even the currently most well-known AI agent AIXBT became famous and gained attention because it released first-hand news on Twitter.

In addition, commonly used websites such as www.coinmarketcap.com and www.coingecko.com are also essential tools. We can find token information and project information on them.

II. Participation methods

The AI agent track is currently a very new track.

Why is that?

Because the vast majority of well-known project tokens in this field have not yet been listed on the major exchanges familiar to Chinese people.

Therefore, to participate in this track, the vast majority of projects can only be traded through on-chain DEXs, and many projects with great potential have not been listed on exchanges for a long time and can only be exchanged on DEXs.

If you only focus on what can be bought on CEXs, you will definitely miss out on a lot of opportunities.

I have repeatedly emphasized to our readers that once you enter this ecosystem, you should use DEXs more and CEXs less. I myself now spend the vast majority of my time on DEXs and basically don't touch CEXs anymore.

The current AI agent ecosystem is mainly concentrated on Solana and Base.

The main DEXs used on Solana are Raydium (https://raydium.io/swap/) and Jupiter (https://jup.ag/). If you find it troublesome, you can directly use some wallet tools (such as Phantom) to perform on-chain exchanges in the wallet.

The main DEXs used on Base are Aerodrome (https://aerodrome.finance/) and Uniswap. If you find it troublesome, you can also directly use wallets like Metamask to perform on-chain exchanges in the wallet.

III. Project classification

In the previous articles, I have recommended some articles to you (I will post the links to the articles again at the end), and those articles have a relatively detailed classification of the entire track projects. You can use those articles as a starting point and continue to find more detailed information about each project, especially on Twitter.

Overall, the AI agent projects on Solana can be traced back to the origin GOAT (https://goatchan.xyz/), and you can find all the information related to GOAT on the Internet, and then you can find a series of new projects such as ACT, ai16zdao, 0xzerebro, arcdotfun, Swarm, etc.

The main AI agent projects on Base can basically be traced back to the Virtuals platform (https://app.virtuals.io/). The well-known AI agents in the Base ecosystem are basically derived from projects incubated by this platform, such as AIXBT, LUNA, SEKOIA, VADER, etc.

At least until now, I think this track is still in the early stage. Many institutions and even venture capitalists have not yet paid large-scale attention to this track.

New projects in this track emerge endlessly every day. When evaluating these projects, we need to choose the sub-fields that we are familiar with and can understand. Any coin recommended by anyone can only be used as a reference, and the key is still to understand it yourself.

If you don't understand it yourself, and just buy A because Zhang San said A is good today, then won't you hesitate again if Li Si says A is not good tomorrow?

Of course, if you are not interested in this track, you don't have to force yourself to participate, but it is still necessary to pay attention to the technological development in this field. Because some AI agents are now providing real services and value. In the future, they will definitely enter our lives and change our lives.
