Adding to Jeff’s list of AI related tokenless protocols to pay attention to: @xmaquina: DEUS token is going live soon. It already raised for several tranches - this token gives public access to traditional private robotics companies @USDai_Official: They’ve just increased the cap to $875m for their AI revenue backed synthetic dollar. Lending protocol that funds the acquisition of GPUs and passes the yield onto depositors @ethos_network: Points accumulation for a while, and only 256 NFT Validators available. Surely there will be a network token for this onchain verification protocol? As AI proliferates, verifying authenticity will become invaluable. @base aligned here so could double dip on their network token too which I believe Coinbase will go hard to set the precedent once the CLARITY ACT passes @BitRobotNetwork: Think the TAO of robotics. It’ll distribute native token emissions amongst its subnets using AI involvement (Gandalf AI). Each subnet focuses on solving a distinct real world robotics problem. Virtuals recently launched Subnet 5, dozens more are getting ready to launch. Founder of Filecoin and creator of IPFS @legiondotcc has no token but capital deployers that use the protocol frequently could be rewarded later? Echo went the equity acquisition route, but perhaps Legion will go decentralized route? @useTria uses best path AI tech to find the optimal swapping route for tokens, also premium card holders are said to receive a token airdrop. Raised rounds through Legion recently and solid contender in the Neo Bank space @vooi_io uses AI as part of finding the best prices on Perp DEXs through its aggregation platform. Possible double dip on underlying protocols too? It has its last Epoch of points before its token @ConsumerFi: AI training platform, collecting an abundance of data to train agents. Plus they also recently launched Kinsu for retail friendly finance that encourages your average joe to save There are others like @NousResearch which speculatively could eventually decentralize through a token also Keep an eye on tokens coming through @virtuals_io new Unicorn Agentic launch system, @openservai tech stack (e.g. BETTER) and MetaDAOs token launches I’ll append the original post containing 100+ protocols for you to look at. Some have TGEd since, but several still remain. What else is missing? I’ll append below.

So many AI plays emerging, feels like early innings again.
