The AI agent platform ai16z is preparing to enter a phase of innovation with plans to change the tokenomics and consider launching a specialized Layer 1 blockchain for artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
The ai16z development team is discussing with collaborators to improve the token value in the ecosystem. One of the highlights is the application of the staking mechanism, which brings benefits such as early access to new features and revenue sharing from platform fees for token holders.
Additionally, in the first quarter of 2025, ai16z plans to launch a token launchpad inspired by pump.fun. This platform will become a hub for AI projects developed on the Eliza framework, where the ai16z token will be used as the base currency to support interactions between AI agents.
To increase value, the platform may also apply fee mechanisms such as launch fees, requiring token staking to access the launchpad, and building strategic liquidity pools.

According to a document from the collaborators, ai16z is considering the deployment of a Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for AI applications. This will be an important step to enhance scalability and optimize performance for AI agents in the ecosystem.
Eliza is the core development framework of ai16z, allowing developers to create customized AI agents. Built with TypeScript, Eliza supports cross-platform interactions between blockchains and social media applications, enabling AI agents to communicate and collaborate across multiple environments.
- DAO Governance: Token holders have voting rights and participate in the platform's strategic decisions.
- Utility in the Ecosystem: Used to support interactions between AI agents and service payments.
