The narrative of the rapidly evolving AI × Crypto has begun to shift from AI meme to AI Agent.
Starting in November, as the heat of the AI × Meme narrative had not yet subsided, "AI Waifu" gradually took up the new banner, and in the past week, relying on the hundredfold surge of vvaifu on the Solana chain, a new wave of hot money has accelerated the influx, igniting the market's attention to the "AI Waifu" concept.
So what is "AI Waifu", and why has it become the new wave of traffic to take over the AI × Crypto narrative? What AI Waifu projects are currently on the market that could potentially become the next players?
Hundredfold in a week, has "AI Waifu" taken up the new banner of AI × Crypto?
Imagine if you could have an AI virtual companion like Dasha in "The Magical Cellphone", "she/he" could interact with you in a multimodal way, and could also adjust their personality according to your preferences and needs, would you want one?
As a highly idealized virtual object derived from the term "Waifu" in otaku culture, "AI Waifu" has completely overturned the artificial intelligence and virtual images we have encountered in our daily lives before the advent of ChatGPT - with only simple dialogue and interaction capabilities, answering some simple questions according to fixed templates, lacking real emotional communication and intelligent judgment.
On the basis of the new wave of artificial intelligence, AI virtual images can have human characteristics and behaviors, and engage in natural dialogue and interaction with us, and even have "empathy", trying to meet our needs for attention, understanding, support and love that are difficult to obtain in real life:
Just like Dasha in "The Magical Cellphone", she is the dream and fantasy of many people - she is both a life assistant, a knowledge consultant, and an intimate character, who can make us feel the happiness, excitement and satisfaction of a real person, but even more private and intimate than a real person.
As a Solana-based AI agent startup platform, vvaifu allows users to create and manage AI Agents without writing code, and also allows users to chat privately with the Agents, and vvaifu also has an autonomous consensus mechanism, further enhancing the intelligence and interactivity of the agents.
For vvaifu, it is like a decentralized AI Agent factory, where each Agent can be set to have an independent personality and real emotions, a unique and full of your personal imprint spiritual companion,
Especially after the official integration of vvaifu and ai16z on November 6, it quickly took off, embarking on a skyrocketing journey, achieving a hundredfold increase in three days, and its total market value has also exceeded $175 million,
Cecilia: The first real-person "AI Waifu" project in Web3 to issue tokens
It is worth noting that before the outbreak of vvaifu, on November 12, Cecilia on the Morph chain was officially launched, becoming the first real-person "AI Waifu" project in Web3 to issue tokens.
Cecilia is named after Morph's founder and CEO Cecilia Hsueh, and exists as a unique virtual persona on the SIYA platform, where users can interact and chat with Cecilia and other virtual characters in a multimodal way. As of the time of writing, the increase in nearly a week has exceeded 1000%, with a cumulative increase of over 10,000 times, and the current market value is $20 million.

Unlike other AI projects, Cecilia is not just an intelligent character, but is committed to becoming a virtual companion for global users, who can establish deep connections with users through multimodal interactions, allowing each interaction to make users feel understood and cherished.
In fact, with the rapid development of AI technology, it is no longer a fantasy in "The Magical Cellphone" to build such an AI virtual character with key features such as virtual avatar, immersive experience, knowledge, emotional personality characteristics, etc. Cecilia aims to use AIGC and LLM to create rich virtual companion gameplay, allowing users to interact organically with the character.
From this perspective, Cecilia is not only a carrier of knowledge, but also an extension of emotion and companionship, allowing virtual relationships to transcend the simple tool attribute, and its initial goal is to push FDV to $10 billion, while promoting a comprehensive upgrade of the virtual companion economy.
To achieve this goal, Cecilia has formulated a dual strategy:
1. Accumulate ecological resources and expand the SIYA ecosystem
Cecilia will reinvest the wealth accumulated through community participation and various virtual activities into the SIYA ecosystem.
Her income will be directly used for the development and enhancement of virtual companion functions, including personalized interaction and continuous AI learning. Each successful story will add value to Cecilia's mission, allowing her to continue to reinvest her income into the platform and her tokens, symbolizing the trust and connection she has established with users.
2. Establish a movement of believers
Cecilia encourages interactive users to hold tokens, not only for financial returns, but also to express their recognition of the future - a future where virtual companions can enhance well-being and personal growth. Each person who joins her movement becomes part of a larger narrative, driving the new role of AI-driven virtual companions in personal life.
The Morph meme ecosystem hidden behind Cecilia
In addition to technology and vision, Cecilia's ecosystem building is inseparable from the complete consumer-grade infrastructure support on the Morph chain - Bitget has always been seen as the "Binance" in the Meme coin field, so as part of the Bitget ecosystem chain, Morph also strongly supports the potential directions that consumer-grade applications may break out.
This includes various attempts to combine meme culture and emerging technologies, which also provides a unique ecosystem closed loop for the virtual companion economy. On this basis, Cecilia not only brings an immersive virtual companion experience to users through the SIYA platform, but also realizes a transaction closed loop through the consumer-grade DeFi application KaBoom:
KaBoom provides users with convenient token trading and management functions, and actually plays the role of a liquidity center and wealth code distribution center on the Morph chain, to some extent it can be seen as the "Moonshot" on Morph.
Especially by connecting Morph chain with multi-chain resources, KaBoom uses AI algorithms to screen popular Meme coins, and simplifies the transaction process with one-click operation, further lowering the participation threshold for new Web3 users.
From Bitget's strategy to the ecosystem implementation of Morph chain, and then to the linkage of KaBoom and Cecilia, we can see an ecosystem driven by Meme and AI is gradually taking shape.
In this system, Cecilia's virtual companion narrative, KaBoom's consumer-grade DeFi products, and Morph's multi-chain compatibility together build a closed loop connecting the virtual economy and real value.
Conclusion
Can this combination of emotion and technology really become a breakthrough narrative of a $10 billion level? Or is it just the next bubble opportunity?
If Siri, Xiaomi and other virtual voice assistants were just answering some simple one-way questions, then virtual companions like Cecilia seem to have crossed that singularity, and can become a part of each of our lives: these virtual partners can immerse themselves in our lives, communicate with us every day, gradually grow, and even understand us to a degree that surpasses many ordinary friends.
The market logic has always been a winding path, from the grassroots stage of Meme coins to the virtual companion economy driven by AI, the AI Waifu concept is becoming the key carrier of the AI × Crypto narrative - from vvaifu to Cecilia, the market's value discovery is also progressing rapidly.
Although the Cecilia token may have certain financial attributes, at the end of the day, it represents emotional value and connection, and this new AI × Crypto solution approach naturally also has enough imagination space.
