AI is disrupting the global technology, finance, and innovation landscape with unstoppable momentum. Since the release of ChatGPT, generative AI has become a mainstream narrative in just one year, sparking significant interest from investors in large language models (LLM) and AI applications. According to data from the International Financial Forum (IFF), by 2024, global AI startups have attracted over $120 billion in funding, with $35 billion raised in the first half of 2024 alone.
This AI boom is gradually impacting the Crypto market, especially in the realm of AI-related crypto projects and tokens. Currently, the total market capitalization of AI crypto tokens has exceeded $43 billion, far surpassing other sectors. For users, AI Memecoin PvP has become the most intuitive way to engage with "AI+Crypto." From Truth Terminal's "Self-Talk About Memes" released on the X platform, to the phenomenal rise of the meme coin GOAT, and the subsequent emergence of projects like ACT, ai16z, ELIZA, and Virtual Protocol, AI Memes have driven innovative applications of AI Agents in on-chain token issuance, community governance, DAO management, and autonomous trading.
Meanwhile, industry giants are also moving quickly. For example, OpenAI plans to launch an AI Agent tool called Operator in early 2025, which can autonomously complete computer tasks based on user instructions, marking the official entry of AI Agents into the crypto ecosystem. ACT and ELIZA have explored new possibilities for on-chain governance, while ai16z and Virtual Protocol have become industry highlights with their innovative autonomous trading capabilities, further advancing the narrative of on-chain AI agents.
Nevertheless, the narrative of on-chain AI Agents is still in its early stages. Similar to the eve of the DeFi Summer in 2020, the integration of AI+Crypto faces many gaps in infrastructure and technology. As a pioneer in this field, REVOX is committed to building a decentralized AI Agent infrastructure that connects AI developers with decentralized computing resources in the role of an operating system, promoting the deep integration of "AI+Crypto" and moving towards the next technological wave.
I. The On-Chain Operating System of the AI Agent Era: REVOX's Forward-Looking Vision
In the current AI ecosystem, centralized ecosystems dominated by large language models (LLM) like ChatGPT and Runway prevail, while decentralized AI projects like Bittensor and IO.net, despite being highly regarded, have limited practical applications. REVOX has identified this pain point:
Web3 needs an AI Agent infrastructure as a shared interface connecting developers with decentralized computing resources.
"AI is like the iPhone of its time; LLMs are the factories for manufacturing hardware, while REVOX serves as the operating system, providing developers and users with a seamless AI-Agent experience." — REVOX co-founder Troy Hua stated.
On-chain AI agents require substantial infrastructure to fill the gaps, and REVOX is dedicated to the protocol of AI agent infrastructure, transforming the creation of decentralized AI applications through autonomous agents. REVOX supports the creation of customizable AI agents to address various scenarios and challenges. In line with the principle of decentralization, REVOX can provide an environment for developers, organizations, and individuals to independently develop and deploy any data sources and APIs.
(1) Centralized AI, Integration Challenges, and Lack of Incentives: Existing Pain Points of AI Agent Protocols
Currently, executing AI agents on the blockchain is complex and incomplete, yet on-chain AI agents are key to realizing decentralized AI applications. Many dApps rely on off-chain AI services to handle complex computations and manage data, effectively introducing centralized elements into a decentralized ecosystem, which also brings potential vulnerabilities. This not only contradicts the spirit of decentralization but also limits the security of AI when directly interacting with assets and financial-related functions.
Moreover, basic dApp components such as wallet integration, transaction management, and smart contract execution are largely disconnected from the rapidly evolving AI landscape, hindering the seamless integration of AI with dApps and affecting their innovation, adaptability, and intelligence levels. More importantly, there is currently a lack of strong and reliable incentive mechanisms for decentralized AI protocols, resulting in insufficient motivation for developers to explore and build the potential of an interoperable AI Agent ecosystem.
(2) Decentralized AI Agent Infrastructure: REVOX Fills Key Gaps
To address the challenges facing decentralized AI, REVOX has launched a series of solutions:
1. Scalable On-Chain AI Based on Smart Contracts: REVOX allows smart contracts to execute AI reasoning directly on the blockchain. By keeping key computations on-chain, it has introduced DPrompt, a critical component for on-chain AI reasoning for all agents within the network. DPrompt achieves smart contract integration in two ways: first, by recording AI requests on-chain, which are then processed by designated AI providers who stake REVOX tokens as collateral, receiving requests and returning responses to DPrompt's smart contract; second, by generating proofs for machine learning computations based on zkML (zero-knowledge) and opML, focusing on creating proofs that allow efficient challenges or verifications of AI computations, reducing the resource consumption required for execution while enhancing the trust and integrity of AI outputs. zkML and opML are essentially part of the "AI+Crypto" concept.
2. Seamless Integration of AI Agents with Web3: REVOX transforms basic Web3 components such as wallet integration and smart contract calls into AI agents. These agents are dynamic, intelligent participants on-chain, capable of executing complex tasks, making decisions, and interacting with other components of the ecosystem. This integration also makes dApps smarter and more autonomous, providing users with a better personalized experience.
3. Developer-Friendly Smart Agent Framework: REVOX provides developers with a flexible framework to interact with different AI agents, allowing them to coordinate various agents, each possessing expertise in a specific niche, to collaboratively solve complex problems. For instance, for financial applications requiring analysis and forecasting, or social platforms seeking intelligent content moderation, REVOX offers tools to build solutions.
4. Incentive Mechanisms for Agent Developers and Computing Power Providers: REVOX places great emphasis on incentives for developers and computing power providers. Its incentive mechanism rewards AI agent developers and computing resource providers. This innovative ecosystem encourages the expansion of the agent network to enhance the quality and diversity of services provided and ensures that computing power providers will invest funds in the development of their network.
II. Key Components of the REVOX Ecosystem
At the core of the REVOX ecosystem are various Primitive Agents, each focusing on completing specific simple and specialized tasks. The coordination of these Primitive Agents ensures efficiency, flexibility, and scalability within the REVOX framework. Currently, several classic use cases for Primitive Agents include:

VI. Conclusion
Former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan recently stated that AI originated from academic research and large tech companies, thus having a higher reputation; while crypto technology originated from anonymous forums and internet communities, initially having a lower reputation. However, AI makes everything easy to forge, while crypto technology makes forgery difficult, and the reputations of the two may gradually converge. Although AI is widely recognized as an important technology with civilizational significance, the value of crypto technology is underestimated, and the two will gradually approach each other in reputation in the future. Furthermore, AI is essentially centralized in power, while Crypto represents decentralization, and there are significant technical synergies between the two.
Of course, there are skeptics who argue that the combination of "AI+Crypto" is merely a temporary hype, as crypto technology has yet to show lasting impact or widespread application in entertainment, gaming, and social media. But this is precisely the problem that "AI+Crypto" can solve—mass adoption of crypto. AI Agents significantly lower the barrier for users to enter Web3, creating greater possibilities for crypto to go mainstream. Previously, Delphi Digital co-founder Tommy predicted that the total market capitalization of AI+Crypto could grow from the current $43 billion to over $250 billion, with many projects that have been in development for years set to launch, especially those intelligent token projects that cannot rely on traditional AI platforms (like ChatGPT) will experience explosive growth.
The entry of traditional venture capital into Crypto+AI, the rapid updates and integration of Open AI technology into the mainstream, and the crypto-friendly policies after Trump's administration will all drive the development of Crypto+AI in 2025. Just like the DeFi Summer of 2020, "AI+Crypto" may open the next DeFi Summer.
Therefore, the combination of AI and Crypto will become the core narrative of future technology. As a pioneer in building AI Agent infrastructure, REVOX is gradually creating the "operating system" that connects AI with the decentralized world, providing developers and users with a revolutionary intelligent experience.
