Over the past year, the Crypto × AI hype has been playing out in waves. AI blockchain, AI computing power, AI agents, AI infrastructure… each wave of narratives has come on strong, but only a handful of projects have truly captured users' attention. In terms of mindshare alone, the most practical application remains chat agents.
Meanwhile, the Web2 world is undergoing a profound transformation. AI IDEs like Cursor are beginning to reshape developer workflows, Veo3 makes text-to-video generation practical and reliable, and Claude and GPT-5 have entered real-world production environments—AI, as a fundamental capability, is being increasingly integrated into real-world scenarios. However, the Crypto world seems to remain in the conceptual exploration stage, a stark contrast to the rapid implementation of the former.
Crypto AI seems increasingly like an outsider, urgently needing truly useful applications. The ultimate synergy between AI and Web3 lies not in models or cryptocurrencies, but in finding a suitable Product-Market Fit (PMF) between the Agent and the network architecture itself, enabling real-world applications and commercialization. This is precisely SIA's original intention.
What SIA is doing is not hyping AI, nor is it hyping Web3; rather, it's turning AI into "useful services."
In the fragmented digital world, future interactions should be "users speak, AI does the legwork." This isn't traditional question-and-answer AI, but service-oriented AI. SIA aims to build a true AI service network using AI Agents, enabling each agent to interact with Web2 applications, collaborate with Web3 protocols, and work with other agents to complete tasks. This will efficiently translate user intentions into actionable actions, and ultimately record and distribute the results on-chain.
In simple terms, SIA (Super Intelligent Agent) is an ecosystem designed for AI agents, integrating network infrastructure, technical architecture, and business scenarios. Its goal is to analyze and determine user intent, transforming AI from answering questions to providing customized problem-solving, and then converting these customized problems into executable, collaborative network nodes. Ultimately, leveraging Web3's identity recognition system, smart contract mechanisms, service authentication mechanisms, and on-chain settlement capabilities, it achieves a closed-loop logic of Code to Cash. This means that agents are no longer simply executing scripts, but rather truly digital labor capable of creating value and earning income on the blockchain.
To achieve this goal, SIA has built four core capability modules, each an indispensable foundation supporting the entire intelligent service system. First is the distributed intelligent scheduling engine, which enables dynamic resource orchestration under a microservice architecture, coordinating the collaboration rhythm of multiple large models and execution nodes, and supporting asynchronous collaboration between large models and on-chain oracles and off-chain analyzers, significantly improving task completion rates. Second is the data furnace, which integrates information from different sources such as Web2 API data, on-chain asset changes, user intent, and behavioral trajectories into a unified insight system, allowing agents to make more intelligent judgments based on multi-dimensional data. Third, SIA fully supports the MCP and A2A protocols, the key hub connecting Web2 and Web3. It acts like a glue, allowing previously isolated application modules such as DeFi protocols, social platforms, and e-commerce systems to collaborate like Lego bricks. Finally, the value distribution mechanism (supporting x402) injects economic drive into the entire system. It accurately records the contribution of each agent through on-chain contracts, ensuring transparent, fair, and automatic value rewards for each service call.
In short: Transform user intent into executable instructions, turn AI from a code model into real labor, transform wallets into order systems, and smart contracts into service fulfillment mechanisms. This allows code to create value, realizing a true "code as capital" paradigm in AgentFi.
Why can't the existing Crypto AI run?
The Web3 ecosystem still has many inherent flaws. Data on the blockchain is noisy and poorly structured, making governance significantly more difficult than on Web2. Different public chains use different smart contract languages and development environments, making cross-chain deployment of AI models difficult. Inconsistent communication protocols across chains further increase development complexity. Furthermore, most Crypto AI projects' tokens are used only for payments or incentives, failing to truly align with the value growth of AI services, resulting in speculation outweighing practicality and very slow actual business progress.
Most typical Crypto AI projects in the current industry focus on a specific aspect of AI + Web3. For example, many projects attempt to address the high computing costs in the AI/rendering industry by offering prices lower than centralized cloud services (such as AWS), but they encounter issues with inconsistent output quality due to varying node quality. Bittensor, for instance, attempts to build a distributed AI model training network, but its technical complexity prevents ordinary users from truly participating. Fetch.ai focuses on autonomous economic agents (AI + DeFi), aiming to automate tasks such as transactions, data analysis, and supply chain optimization; however, some modules (such as the agent communication protocol) are not modular enough and require later refactoring to support high-performance concurrency.
In summary, past projects operated in isolation, with model training, computing power scheduling, protocol integration, and economic incentives all fragmented. Developers had to piece things together from scratch, resulting in a disjointed user experience. SIA's design logic, however, is to prevent users from bridging these gaps, but rather to enable agents to bridge them. SIA uses agents, network protocols, and native Web3 components to truly expand functionality into a complete closed loop encompassing "online deployment, collaboration, settlement, and monetization." It no longer solves a single segment of on-chain AI applications, but rather builds an entire pathway covering the entire process from request initiation, task scheduling, and data processing to behavior recording and value distribution.
Starting with AI trading, understand the structure and capabilities of the SIA.
SIA's investment and trading platform is the first truly comprehensive AI-powered cryptocurrency trading DApp. The emergence of AI trading is gradually reshaping investor behavior and market participation. SIA's trading platform uses AI capabilities to make cryptocurrency trading simpler, smarter, and safer!
Unlike traditional quantitative trading, which relies on fixed mathematical models, AI trading learns dynamically from market data, news events, and even real-time emotional fluctuations. It can understand the market context like a human, while avoiding the weaknesses that are difficult to overcome in human nature. It tirelessly captures global opportunities 24 hours a day, calmly executes strategies without being disturbed by greed or fear, and patiently waits in the absence of certainty. This discipline is something that many traders find difficult to maintain.
More importantly, AI trading is not entirely divorced from human experience. Instead, it transforms mature trading concepts into reusable digital assets through prompt design and model fine-tuning. Based on this characteristic, SIA DApps provide users with a range of services, from natural language interaction to the breakdown of complex tasks, allowing them to easily implement functions from strategy analysis to automated trade execution.
The trend indicates that the market is shifting towards a collaborative model centered on AI. In the future, the key to differentiating investors will be their ability to leverage AI to enhance their judgment, rather than be replaced by it. AI can already autonomously adjust strategies through deep learning and even discover correlations that are imperceptible to humans. This means that competition in the trading market will no longer be merely a contest of capital size, but rather a competition of the efficiency of integrating human wisdom with AI execution.
SIA's AntAgents Platform exemplifies this collaborative model to its fullest potential. Users can customize their trading styles and easily create their own trading agents. Behind this functionality lies SIA's extensive investment and trading experience, supported by tens of thousands of strategies and trading agents. SIA's AI trading strategies have achieved the highest AUM (Amount Under Management) on Binance. SIA believes that by refining trading capabilities and returning trading styles to users, ordinary users can leverage AI to achieve better investment performance, just like professional traders.
For novice users, cross-market, cross-platform, and cross-chain copy trading can be achieved through natural language processing. Users can also make stable investments through a liquidity pool built by SIA's Super Agents and receive a share of the platform's revenue. SIA believes that every user can contribute their ideas, data, and even trading habits to this super AI trading platform, and these valuable assets will be returned to each user through the platform's profits.
SIA Investment Trading Platform is an integrated trading platform that spans multiple chains, CEXs and DEXs, and various smart contracts. It provides users with access to top-tier investment addresses, allowing them to freely place orders on platforms such as Aster and HyperLiquid; users can also track smart money addresses and conduct meme trading on chains like BSC and Solana. For users with low risk tolerance, the platform offers risk-free return products and, for the first time, implements complex hedging strategies through an AI Agent. Users simply tell the AI Agent their ideas, and the strategy is executed automatically.
SIA's ultimate goal is to allow users to imbue their trading habits into their agents, creating digital trading avatars on the platform. This allows everyone to achieve 24/7 AI trading capabilities based on their own style. And this capability is completely accessible to everyone. Through interaction with SIA's agent network, users continuously generate and accumulate data on their own execution. This data directly reflects the user's true decision-making logic and behavioral patterns, forming extremely valuable "digital fingerprints."
Currently, SIA is also integrating the x402 protocol to inject powerful autonomous payment capabilities into AI Agents. This not only significantly expands their functional boundaries but, more importantly, paves the way for realizing the inclusive AgentFi vision. SIA believes that AI Agents are not exclusive to high-level technical personnel but rather a vehicle through which every user can realize their ideas. Everyone's ideas can be realized through SIA's platform, and in the future, personal agents can achieve super monetization in the Web3 field.
Furthermore, SIA fully supports the BSC (Binance Smart Chain) and Aster ecosystem. SIA is engaged in in-depth exchanges and discussions with Aster, focusing on user convenience and diverse needs, and is providing Aster with SIA's comprehensive AI Trading service capabilities, offering one-stop digital asset services to users in different fields.
Starting with trading, the SIA is now expanding its reach beyond its core market.
SIA's initial applications focused on scenarios most relevant to the Web3 context: automated trade execution. However, the true value of the Agent network lies not in the transactions themselves, but in scenarios characterized by high-frequency calls and structured execution. SIA provides interfaces for external partners, allowing users to access SIA's AI capabilities on any platform, such as real-time market data, technical analysis, and strategy recommendations for various cryptocurrencies. Currently, daily usage exceeds 30 million tokens and continues to grow.
The SIA platform offers a variety of agents, including those for trading, prediction, and gaming, providing support for multiple scenarios. For example, game developers can focus on game system design, while integration of on-chain wallets and access to large-scale AI models can be handled through SIA's AntAgents Platform. Developers unfamiliar with blockchain games and large-scale AI models can deploy these features with a single click. Social platforms can integrate SIA's client-side agents, allowing users to exchange points, engage in interactive incentives, and bridge identities with external platforms without leaving their native environment.
SIA is building an infrastructure that can provide intelligent plugins for any Web3 project. SIA's agent capabilities are modular and composable, enabling it to work efficiently with various Web3 protocols, platforms, and ecosystems. Whether it's exchanges, wallets, public chains, games, or social projects, they can all access a complete set of AI capabilities and service execution interfaces through SIA.
Looking to the future, SIA is far more than just a connector within Web3; it's becoming the ultimate super traffic gateway for Google in the AI era and for the Web2 world to access the blockchain. A traditional application only needs to connect to SIA's Agent gateway, without needing to understand complex blockchain interaction logic, to achieve a full suite of capabilities including payment, signature, and on-chain task execution—truly realizing the possibility of one-click access to Web3. In time, people's exclamations will shift from one-click token issuance and one-click blockchain launch to Web2 giants' one-click access to the Web3 world.
This isn't a group of people who write white papers; it's a top-tier team that can actually get the system running.
The team behind SIA is not just storytellers; it's a group of people who have truly fought tough battles, delivered large-scale systems, and successfully navigated commercial challenges. They come from the world's top technology companies, financial institutions, and Web3 projects, possessing years of practical experience and deep industry expertise in AI and Web3.
On the technical front, SIA's core engineering leaders and key personnel come from Alibaba and Huawei's global infrastructure teams, having led the construction of large-scale network systems in multiple markets including Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America, and possessing experience in engineering the construction of public chains and exchanges. They have not only been responsible for the design of Alibaba Cloud's distributed architecture and the engineering implementation of AI and blockchain systems, but also hold top-tier global influence in cutting-edge technologies such as TEE secure computing and privacy protection. They have served as senior advisors for crypto wallet projects such as Saferron and led open-source projects officially recommended by OpenAI. Furthermore, some team members have led the creation of Southeast Asia's largest AI computing center and served as technical judges for a developer ecosystem with hundreds of thousands of members, possessing a broad developer network and infrastructure vision.
In the Web3 field, SIA's team members also include the founder of TokenInsight, who built a world-leading blockchain data and rating system as early as 8 years ago. They constructed a multi-dimensional database covering exchanges, public chains, project teams, funds, and successfully propelled the company into the investment vision of top funds such as SIG, Distributed, Draper, and Matrix Partners, possessing excellent resources in the industry.
On the business front, team members have investment and operations experience from top international investment banks and asset management institutions such as JP Morgan, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and CICC. They have long managed private equity and secondary market products worth billions of dollars and have also served as strategic advisors or early investors for several Web3 projects, including Circle, Binance, and Matrixport.
The brand-new SIA website is now live; it's time to seriously build a "usable on-chain AI".
Past Crypto AI projects were mostly simple combinations of "AI shell + blockchain packaging." Now, AI capabilities themselves are no longer scarce, and model services are gradually becoming public infrastructure. The real challenge lies in how to truly "put these capabilities on the blockchain," transforming them into structured services that can be invoked, collaborated on, settled, and composable.
SIA does not provide a single "feature package," but a complete operating system. It allows developers to customize agents, enables users to freely initiate service requests, and ensures that every on-chain call has a clear input, output, and value path.
AI shouldn't be confined to chat windows; it should be able to perform tasks, sign contracts, and complete operations. Web3 shouldn't just revolve around assets either; it should provide AI with identity authentication, settlement systems, and composable value structures. SIA serves as the bridge connecting these two domains.
With the launch of its brand-new official website, SIA is ready!
