On the X platform, it's a unique pleasure to discover projects before they become popular and share them with you. In the previous "Be Early" series, I've uncovered projects like Top Hat, Duck Chain, Cortex, and Infinit.

So, what new additions are on my January watchlist? Let's dive in!

1. Lumitus: Integrating Web2, Web3, and AI

Lumitus is a decentralized, AI-driven platform aimed at unifying Web2, Web3, and AI systems into a functional ecosystem. It solves the challenge of fragmentation by enabling seamless communication and coordination between centralized Web2 applications, decentralized Web3 networks, and AI-driven processes.

The platform is composed of the following three core layers:

1. Computation Layer

Utilizes advanced language models and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology to process and synthesize data from Web2 and Web3 in real-time.

2. Orchestration Layer

Connects APIs, wallets, and network connections into a framework, automating workflows between different systems.

3. Execution Layer

Ensures tasks are completed locally while maintaining user privacy and full control over devices and data.

Key use cases include automating cross-chain DeFi strategies, aggregating token data, managing multi-chain wallets, and optimizing daily workflows. By combining these capabilities, Lumitus can provide efficient, autonomous task management for trading, productivity, and other industries.

Lumitus offers a practical solution that integrates decentralized systems with AI, making complex workflows simpler and more efficient.

2. Vaporware Spotlight: AI Agent Launchpad on Hyperliquid Platform

Vapor is a no-code platform for deploying and managing AI agents. Its Launchpad leverages a16z's Eliza framework—an open-source tool that enables agents to interact across multiple social media platforms and blockchains.

When deploying agents through Vapor, creators can choose to issue tokens for their agents on the Hyperliquid EVM chain, which is currently in testnet and expected to launch in early 2025.

4. Almanak: The Future of Collaborative Research

Almanak focuses on addressing complexity, infrastructure fragmentation, and unequal opportunities by allowing users to build, train, and deploy advanced financial strategies through an agent-centric platform, with institutional-grade AI agents providing support.

The Almanak platform is a non-custodial, decentralized, and permissionless solution that ensures users maintain full control of their assets while accessing tools traditionally limited to institutions. By simplifying the complexity of DeFi, Almanak leverages AI-driven financial intelligence to enable more users to participate in decentralized markets. The Almanak application is currently live and in Beta testing.

5. AIxBT Terminal: The Next-Gen AI-Powered Crypto Trading Platform

You may have already heard of AIxBT, but you might not know about the AIxBT Terminal.

This platform provides real-time market intelligence through narrative analysis. However, its biggest drawback is the high barrier to entry: it requires a payment of 600,000 $AIXBT (currently around $300,000), which is unaffordable for most people. Hopefully, the access threshold will be lowered in the future, so I can also experience it firsthand.

9. Soulgraph: Transforming AI Agents into True Companions

Soulgraph is a proxy infrastructure platform that enriches AI agents with personality, memory, and vivid expression, making them more realistic and profound. It provides developers with three core tools:

1. Soulscript: An open-source specification for defining agent personalities and ensuring consistency across different platforms. These agents can think, react, and evolve based on interactions.

2. Soulgraph Memory: Persistent memory functionality that allows agents to remember conversation content and learn from it, building unique and personalized connections with users over time.

3. Soulgraph Presence: Real-time communication infrastructure, including voice call capabilities and upcoming dynamic response avatars, making interactions more natural and engaging.

By standardizing agent behavior, memory, and expression, Soulgraph enables developers to create a reusable and interoperable personality framework. Its goal is to transform AI agents from mere tools into unforgettable, human-like companions, fostering deeper user engagement and widespread adoption.
