Recently, I’ve been diving into an Alpha project—(AA)—and put together some of my thoughts @ARAI_Systems. ARAI positions itself as a “full-chain AI Copilot.” Simply put, it’s like an intelligent co-pilot for the on-chain world. It can understand user intent in real time, help you automatically create DeFi strategies, complete play-to-earn tasks, and even handle cross-chain operations with one click. What used to require manual clicking and worrying about cross-chain risks can now basically be handled by AI. The backing is solid too—Sequoia, Redpoint, and Animoca have all invested in it. Its ecosystem partnerships are extensive, spanning over 20 chains like BSC, Arbitrum, Manta, and Taiko. Among its partners are top-tier projects like Orbiter, Unibase, and Animoca. Even the official BNB Chain account has promoted it before, so it’s safe to say it’s recognized by the mainstream ecosystem. Looking at the data, on-chain transactions have already exceeded 5.2 million, and cross-chain volume has hit $380 million. The AI game they launched last week attracted over 1 million users in just one week, with nearly 50,000 daily active users. The community discussions are buzzing. Their recent collaboration with Hyperbot (the first DeFi project in the Aster ecosystem) is also worth noting—it’s a complementary move in the AI+DeFi space. What’s more, AA has already launched on Binance Alpha, and many believe that contracts might be coming soon. Judging from the trends of other Alpha projects like Hemi, the combination of spot and contracts is often the key stage for amplifying growth. Overall, ARAI seems to be one of the more grounded projects in the “AI+on-chain interaction” space. Whether it’s their product vision, ecosystem expansion, or data performance, there’s definitely something to learn from. The next key points will likely be whether contracts go live and how they deepen collaboration with ecosystem partners—these could determine whether they truly break into the mainstream.
