"BNB Chain, I have been waiting for the AI craze to cool down, and then I will fully promote BNB AI - the true Builders will move forward in big strides after the hype subsides!" The bold statement made by Binance founder CZ on X is like a bombshell, instantly igniting market expectations for the BNB Chain AI track. The implication is that AI is not only a short-term hype, but also the future mainline of the BNB ecosystem.
From the Meme craze sweeping BSC to the recent rise of AI projects, BNB Chain is transitioning from the wealth effect to a technology-driven long-term narrative. The recent AI hackathon event hosted by BNB in Hong Kong has sent a strong signal: BNB Chain is actively recruiting high-quality AI projects, and the next wave of hype is about to unfold! So, which AI projects have already emerged and are ready to ride the wave? Let's unveil them one by one in descending order of market cap.
$SHELL: $150 million market cap, the leader in AI Agent launch platforms
In the AI landscape of the BNB Chain, $SHELL is undoubtedly the undisputed leader. As the token of the MyShell ecosystem, it is backed by the largest AI Agent creation platform, deeply integrated with the BNB Chain, and has successfully listed on the Binance spot market, becoming a benchmark project in the ecosystem. With a current market cap of $150 million, the market has clearly recognized its potential.
The core advantage of MyShell lies in its mature user ecosystem and commercial orientation. The platform has 5 million users and 200,000 creators, providing a "one-click AI launch" framework standard. Recently, MyShell launched a Launchpad to support the asset issuance of AI Agents, which will tightly connect creators, users, and investors: creators obtain funding support through tokenization, users enjoy more high-quality AI services, and investors can earn returns from high-potential tokens, forming a virtuous cycle flywheel effect.
Binance founder CZ and "Sister Binance" @heyibinance have explicitly stated that AI is the main narrative for BNB Chain this year, and MyShell's strategic layout perfectly aligns with this direction. Leveraging its strong community foundation and ecosystem synergy capabilities, $SHELL is likely to become the ignition point for the next wave of AI hype.
$SIREN: $50 million market cap, a pioneer with practicality and resources
Following closely is $SIREN, a standout project in the BNB Chain AI track that combines functionality and resources. It focuses on on-chain AI technical analysis, able to scan tokens in real-time for bullish and bearish signals, providing decision support for traders. Although the functionality is still basic, the direction is practical, filling the gap of useful AI tools on BSC.
$SIREN's development momentum is strong. It was first included in the Binance Alpha, with trading volume consistently ranking among the top five, and later won the ecosystem reward in the Binance Meme Competition. Recently, it was also selected for the Gate HODLer airdrop program. Earlier, it won the daily champion and weekly runner-up in the first Binance trading competition, and received an official BNB Chain reward of around $600,000. These resource boosts have helped $SIREN stand out in the second-tier echelon, and its liquidity performance is also quite impressive.
In the future, if $SIREN can integrate AI analysis of candlestick patterns (such as automatically identifying head and shoulders tops or flag formations) and enhance its on-chain data insight capabilities, its practicality will reach another level. For investors focused on ecosystem rotation, this is a choice not to be overlooked.
$NMT: $15 million market cap, the ambitious one in distributed AI computing
$NetMind Token ($NMT), with a market cap of $15 million, ranks third. It is the native token of the NetMind Chain, carrying multiple functions such as rewards, governance, trading, and staking. Its parent platform, NetMind Power, developed by NetMind.AI headquartered in London and Washington, is aimed at machine learning professionals, researchers, and developers, providing a distributed computing network for AI model training, fine-tuning, and inference.
In recent years, the surge in demand for machine learning and AI applications has led to a shortage of computing power resources and high costs, with large tech giants monopolizing the computing power market, making it difficult for small institutions and researchers to access. NetMind Power was born to address this, committed to building a decentralized AI computing power network by integrating the idle GPUs of global users. This model not only reduces the cost of obtaining computing power, but also provides a solid foundation for the "Agentic AI" ecosystem through the low-fee and high-performance advantages of the BNB Chain. The platform adopts a grid and volunteer computing scheduling architecture, combined with load balancing technology, to ensure low latency and high efficiency, allowing enterprises and research institutions to develop AI models more easily and economically.
$NMT plays a core role in the ecosystem: developers use NMT to pay for GPU computing power services, and gas fees for each transaction are also settled in NMT; users can participate in the governance voting of 21 main nodes by staking NMT, influencing the platform's development direction; in addition, the platform reserves 20% of the total NMT supply for community building through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), and the fund allocation is determined by community voting to ensure that the development direction aligns with user needs. There are also diverse ways to acquire NMT - users can obtain NMT by providing computing power resources, running nodes, staking tokens, or trading on CEX/DEX platforms, and participate in the ecosystem to share the rewards.
NetMind's vision is to break down the computing power barrier and create a fairer AI computing environment. If its technology is successfully implemented, the $15 million market cap of $NMT may just be the starting point.
$AGON: $10 million market cap, the AI empowerer in the Meme craze
$AGON is an important member of the MyShell ecosystem, with AI empowerment as its distinctive feature. It can provide project parties with a variety of AI functional support, such as AI+DeFi, AI+DePin, and even help Meme projects build automated "shill ticker" agents. In the recent Meme craze, $AGON attracted a lot of capital attention with this positioning, maintaining a stable market cap of $10 million.
As part of the ecosystem collaboration, the flexibility and potential of $AGON should not be underestimated. If the Meme and AI narratives further converge, it may become the key link connecting the two.
$AICELL: $5.8 million market cap, the explorer of multi-agent architecture
$AICELL, previously dubbed the "AI Meme Dragon No. 1", has been very active recently. It has launched a multi-agent architecture, releasing 10 AI Agents at once, trying to expand its application scenarios. Although the price fluctuations have been dramatic, the capital attention has remained relatively high. However, there are market rumors of significant rat-hole activities, and investors need to be cautious.
Technically, $AICELL's multi-agent attempt has a forward-looking nature. If it can optimize the user experience and stabilize the base, it still has the potential to occupy a place in the AI Meme track.
$BINK: $3 million market cap, the pioneer of DeFAI
$BINK claims to be the first AI Agent on the BNB Chain, focusing on the DeFAI (Decentralized Finance + AI) framework. It combines the DeFi ecosystem with AI-driven analysis and automation, providing a powerful platform for developers. Although it was established only two months ago, its token structure is well-controlled, and the GitHub is continuously updated, demonstrating the team's execution capability. Currently with a market cap of $3 million, it is still in the early stage, but the future looks promising.
$BNBXBT: $3 million market cap, the OG AI Agent on BSC
$BNBXBT is the veteran-level AI Agent on the BSC chain, similar to the BNB version of AIXBT. With a low-key development at a $3 million market cap, although it does not attract as much attention as the newcomers, as an early player, it still has a certain community foundation.
$TSA: A $2 million market cap, a testbed for cross-chain AI Meme
$TSA, created by the @HoloworldAI team, is their first test Agent on the BNB Chain. Previously, the team's AI Meme Token $AVA on Solana had a peak market cap of $300 million. Now on the BNB Chain, $TSA attracts capital attention through liquidity pools and burning pools. Although the market cap is only $2 million, its cross-chain experience and technical background give it some room for imagination. It is worth mentioning that the HoloworldAI main token $AVA is deployed on Solana, with a current market cap of $44 million.
$QAAG: A $400,000 market cap, an AI innovator in the QA field
$QAAG enters the market with a low-key $400,000 market cap, but it brings an ambitious vision - to reshape cross-industry operational efficiency through the integration of Blockchain and AI. As a project built on the BNB Chain, QAAG AI (Quality Assurance Management AI) deeply integrates advanced AI algorithms with decentralized technology, covering scenarios such as appointment management, customer service operations, sales and marketing, call center management, and subscription services, providing secure, scalable and reliable solutions. The core of its ecosystem is Brandy, a highly personalized AI assistant that can customize services for users, balancing efficiency and scale.
In the context where data privacy and operational efficiency are increasingly important, $QAAG tries to bridge the gap between AI capabilities and Blockchain security. It improves efficiency through automation, ensures data privacy standards, and supports seamless business expansion. The $QAAG token, as the driving engine of the ecosystem, not only ensures smooth interaction within the system, but also activates community vitality through incentive mechanisms. Although the current market cap is relatively small, its unique Web2/Web3 integration positioning and clear practical direction show its potential in the QA (Quality Assurance) field. If it can further land in actual scenarios in the future, this dark horse may bring surprises.
From Meme to AI, the future landscape of the BNB Chain
From the leading position of $SHELL with a $150 million market cap, to the $400,000 niche exploration of $QAAG, the AI ecosystem on the BNB Chain is showing a diversified development trend. $SIREN and $NMT are steadily advancing with practicality and technical ambition, $SHELL and $AGON are focusing on framework and ecosystem coordination, while projects like $AICELL and $TSA are seeking breakthroughs in the AI Meme subdivision track.
With the advancement of the Hong Kong AI Hackathon and the implementation of the BNB Chain's "AI-first" strategy, AI projects are expected to become the focus of the next wave of capital. As CZ said, the real Builders will move forward steadily after the hype subsides. For investors, now may be the golden window to delve into research and make early deployments. Which project are you optimistic about?
