Written by: KarenZ, Foresight News
On January 10, despite the overall weak performance of the Crypto and AI markets, an AI investment and development DAO named Aiccelerate DAO has attracted widespread attention. So what is the charm of this DAO, which is supported by advisors such as ai16z co-founder Shaw, Virtuals Protocol contributor #001 Ethermage, and Story Protocol co-founder Jason?
What is Aiccelerate DAO?
Aiccelerate DAO is an investment and development DAO focused on accelerating the development of decentralized open-source AI. It aims to drive innovation by merging the power of AI and cryptocurrency technology, building an ecosystem that supports and develops decentralized open-source AI projects.
In this ecosystem, Aiccelerate DAO is committed to bringing together developers across multiple technical frameworks to jointly promote the cutting-edge development of AI and blockchain technology.
To achieve this goal, Aiccelerate DAO is building a community of developers aimed at creating a series of AI agents and tools. Through an open and collaborative approach, Aiccelerate DAO hopes to become a hub for the next generation of developers and investors, providing them with comprehensive support, including further investment, expanding networks, and promoting leading teams.
In addition, Aiccelerate DAO plans to release a series of AI agents, with the first project being a public alpha/research agent that helps users make more informed and fully transparent judgments.
Aiccelerate DAO Team and Advisory Board
Aiccelerate DAO has been in development for over two months, with team members coming from leading open-source AI teams or having previously worked at Coinbase and Consensys. The founding partners of Aiccelerate DAO include crypto OG Mark, @cryptopunk7213, and @ropirito. Mark previously studied computer science and economics at the University of Pennsylvania and Seoul National University, is currently a member of the ai16z token economics working group, and is active in the fields of NFT, Crypto x AI, and Meme; @cryptopunk7213 has worked at Coinbase and Consensys; @ropirito is a maintainer and partner at ai16z.
Notably, Aiccelerate DAO founding partner @ropirito announced that to demonstrate his firm belief in the project, he will donate all tokens held by his personal agent to the DAO treasury and will never reclaim them. Additionally, he plans to donate some tokens from his other projects to the DAO treasury as locked funds to further support the project's development.
The advisory board of Aiccelerate DAO is also impressive and is set up according to four main categories: development, investment, research, and promotion, inviting members from major teams such as ai16z, Virtuals Protocol, and Abstract. These advisors will provide Aiccelerate DAO with advice and resources to help it better achieve its development goals.
Aiccelerate DAO Development Advisors: ai16z co-founder Shaw, Virtuals Protocol contributor #001 Ethermage, Abstract contributor cygaar, Playgrounds co-founder and CEO Tachi, ai16z partner Jin, open-source AI developer Karan, Nader (EigenLayer), Story Protocol co-founder Jason.

Will Aiccelerate DAO issue tokens? How to participate?
Regarding whether Aiccelerate DAO will issue tokens and how to participate, the DAO stated that Aiccelerate DAO and all its initiatives will be managed under the AICC token. All DAO partners will benefit in the form of potential future airdrops and investment opportunities. Additionally, as Aiccelerate DAO's assets under management (AUM) grow, a certain proportion of profits will be used to buy back AICC tokens, making Aiccelerate DAO a multi-ecosystem Crypto x AI index.
Currently, the AICC token has not been officially released, but the contract address has been announced, and fundraising is open on daos.fun. Aiccelerate DAO's fundraising goal is 500 SOL (approximately $94,353), and it has currently raised 378 SOL.
Aiccelerate DAO stated that users interested in becoming partners and participating in the presale can express their willingness and how they can help the project by retweeting, liking, and commenting on tweets. Aiccelerate DAO will select suitable partners to participate in the presale based on user participation and expected contribution levels (users may be invited to participate via Twitter direct messages).
Conclusion
Given that the information currently disclosed by Aiccelerate DAO is not comprehensive, there are many uncertainties about its future direction. However, just by having members from several leading project teams in the AI and Crypto fields on stage, Aiccelerate DAO has already successfully attracted widespread attention in the industry. With the collaboration of developers, researchers, and investors in a community, open-source AI is bound to thrive.
