AI is undoubtedly the absolute focus of the Crypto market in recent times, with various AI concept tokens surging. So, how have AI NFTs performed? What AI NFT projects are worth our attention? BlockBeats has compiled a list of 13 AI NFT projects worth noting.
ai16z partners
Although the series is created by community member @SOLsesame, it is clearly supported by the official ai16z.
Shaw has expressed support on Twitter several times:
In the official ai16z Discord, there is a dedicated "NFT" role for ai16z partners holders.
It is currently unknown what specific utility it will have, and the series itself is not an AI narrative, but has a close relationship with ai16z. The current floor price is close to 4 SOL, near the previous high.
zereborn
From the official zerebro, and should be the first NFT series created by an AI Agent. I think the official endorsement + AI creation of these two narratives make the market cap of zereborn higher than ai16z partners, although the market cap of $zerebro is currently about $1.5 billion less than $ai16z.
The current utility is unknown, and the floor price is close to 5.7 SOL.
Virtuals World
This is a Free Mint land series issued by the Virtuals official in July 2024, with a total of only 100, without any whitelist restrictions. Even so, at the time, it took nearly 20 minutes to mint, and you even had the opportunity to buy at such a low price:
With the explosion of the AI concept, as the AI leader on the Base network, this series has now soared. If it weren't for the small total supply, this would absolutely be a strong contender for the biggest NFT play of 2024, but it's true that very few NFT players have noticed this 100x NFT project, because it's actually in the AI track, which is like a different world.
The current floor price is 11 ETH, and players are looking forward to it playing a role in AI+gaming in the future.
2049 // Reflections
The official NFT series of Freysa AI, this is a limited NFT collection that runs autonomously in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), with access to tools, seed prompts, and task objectives. The series has a minting price of 0.25 ETH and a total supply of 2049, with a current floor price close to 0.6 ETH, corresponding to a market cap of about $4.2 million, and its token $FAI has a market cap of nearly $370 million.
Smol Brains
This series is also known as "Magic Monkeys", and is an old project that has existed since the last cycle, and has always been a core PFP project in the Treasure DAO ecosystem.
In the past week, Smol Brains has risen 4 times, with a current floor price close to 0.4 ETH.
The reason for the "Magic Monkey" surge is still Shaw, because Shaw was the earliest developer in the Treasure DAO ecosystem, and he is responsible for the Smol World game project of Smol Brains. Smol World will be an AI game, with each Smol Brains as an AI Agent playing on-chain games, able to steal each other's assets for PvP, and the game will be integrated with the Eliza framework.
The token $SMOL of Smol Brains has also risen up to 8 times in the past week, and $SMOL will migrate to the V2 version to strengthen its utility in the Smol World game. Currently, the market cap of $SMOL is about $16.5 million.
Kemonokaki
This project may be a bit far-fetched to include, but it is worth noting. Kemonokaki can be summarized in one sentence as the Milady of Base.
The reason for its surge in the past week is that it will enjoy the whitelist of the $OHM re-innovation project Daolympus World of daos.world.
And in the multi-signature of ALCHDAO, there are 3 people from the daos.world team. ALCHDAO is a DAO focused on investing in tokenized AI agents and blockchain innovation.
Additionally, the Virtuals Official Twitter also posted about Kemonokaki in July 2024. Of course, this was a long time ago, so it doesn't really indicate anything, but more to show Kemonokaki's Milady status on Base.
Parallel Avatars
Parallel is a Base chain TCG (Collectible Card Game) under the Echelon Prime Foundation. In 2021, Parallel completed a $50 million financing led by Paradigm, with other investors including YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, Focus Labs, OSS Capital, and Yunt Capital.
Parallel is already available for players to play. In addition to Parallel, the Echelon Prime Foundation is also developing a survival game called Parallel Colony that integrates ERC-6551 technology and allows players to collaborate with AI. Players can assign tasks to AI Agents, and the AI Agents will complete them on their own, communicate with other AI Agents, and also communicate with players to give their own game ideas. The AI Agents will also conduct transactions autonomously in Parallel Colony.
The initial AI Agent game characters need to be created through Parallel Avatars, and there will also be mechanisms in the future to allow regular players to obtain AI Agent game characters to participate in the game. Currently, the floor price of Parallel Avatars is close to 1 ETH.
This game will open for testing in the first quarter of this year. In addition to Parallel Colony, Parallel has also created an AI-driven fully on-chain automated trading tool @AIWayfinder, which has a strong All In AI approach.
CryptoAgents
This is an unreleased series with a total supply of 10,000 and a Free Mint. In simple terms, this will be an NFT series created by an AI Agent, but the difference is that this will be a fully on-chain NFT series, with the images rendered through smart contract code.
The project is launched by @punk3700, who is the founder of the modular Bitcoin Layer2 project BVM and the founder of Eternal AI, a multi-chain AI layer.
Bossu
A new project, currently planned to mint on January 7th, nicknamed "Shark Egg" in the Chinese-speaking community, as the cute appearance has attracted more attention from NFT players.
The information about this team @wawe_online is rather messy. The official website says it was founded in 2019 as a digital art creative studio in Argentina, but the location shown on Linkedin is Chiang Mai, Thailand, and the Behance profile shows it's in China.
But this is a Free Mint series, so the problem is not that big. Their token $BOSSU is running on the Eliza framework, and its current market capitalization is close to $2 million. The NFT series itself is an IP image that the studio has been building for years, and it is not generated by an AI Agent, but using an AI Agent to operate the IP image and then release the image does reflect a development path for the IP beyond just a starting image.
xNomad
A new AI NFT project from NFTGo, not yet launched. Simply put, it's an AI Agent and a small picture bound together, and NFT holders can use their NFT as an AI Agent, letting it invest, receive airdrops, and the money earned by the small picture can also be withdrawn.
It's running on the Eliza framework, let's see if Shaw can look over the eyes, if so it will be more optimistic.
Botto
From here on, it's some things that are quite different from the current mainstream AI narrative, which NFT players are more likely to pay attention to.
Botto, old NFT players should be familiar with, this is also a project from the last cycle to the present. Botto is a decentralized driven AI artist, working since October 8, 2021. The AI creates 350 artworks per week, and the community will vote to select one final work to be auctioned on SuperRare. Voting requires staking $BOTTO to get voting points, and 40% of the auction proceeds will be used to reward the voters.
The community will also decide on the creative themes of the AI, whether to introduce or remove the AI models used, etc. through proposals, allowing Botto to explore different directions of artistic exploration in different cycles.
This project can be considered to have crossed the bull and bear markets, Botto's 6 works were also auctioned at Sotheby's on October 24, 2024 for a total of $351,600. Currently, the market capitalization of $BOTTO is approximately $31 million.
Neura
Neura is not a conventional AI image generation platform, in fact, the team behind Neura, Adanede, intends to build Neura into a decentralized, self-aware AI artist through self-financing. Neura will create art independently, but users can use Android NFTs to influence Neura's creation. Different Android NFTs will endow Neura with different creative styles, and each user will be a unique node of Neura.
Currently, Neura has created the first series "The Memories" and completed the Free Mint. This series allows users to freely give inspiration to the AI, and then the AI redraws based on the user's basic outline, which is like letting Neura show its strength first, and the future path of the AI artist's cultivation has not officially started yet, so you can follow up.
alignDRAW
These images are quite abstract... right?
This rough mosaic abstraction is because these works were created by the first text-to-image AI model in history. In 2015, 19-year-old Elman Mansimov, through his alignDRAW model, first realized the AI operation of generating images through text prompts.
This is a pure art project, focusing on the narrative of the history of AI development. In 2024, the series reached an all-time high price of nearly 3 ETH, while the initial minting price was 0.1 ETH. Currently, the floor price of the series is around 1.66 ETH.
