ElizaOS (formerly AI16Z)
ElizaOS (formerly AI16Z) is an AI-powered investment DAO built on Solana, created by Shaw Walters and the Eliza Labs team. It uses a smart AI agent called “Marc” to manage a treasury and make investment decisions without human bias. However, it has no relation with the venture capitalist A16Z. Token holders can suggest proposals, but the AI has the final say. ElizaOS operates on an open-source framework that developers can fork and build upon. The project has over 45,000 partners, $25M+ in AUM, and 2,000+ forks. Its revenue model includes a 10% contribution from agents built using Eliza, with profits used for buybacks, development, and ecosystem growth.
Virtuals Protocol
Virtuals Protocol is a decentralized platform that lets users co-own and earn from AI agents built for gaming, entertainment, and beyond. These agents are autonomous, interactive, and operate across platforms like Roblox. Built on Ethereum Layer 2 (Base), Virtuals uses Initial Agent Offerings (IAOs) to tokenize agents and share ownership. Revenue is transparently distributed via Immutable Contribution Vaults (ICVs), which track developer input on-chain. Founded by Jansen Teng and Wee Kee Tiew, the project simplifies AI integration through plug-and-play tools. Virtuals aims to make AI ownership and monetization accessible, without requiring deep technical knowledge. At the time of reporting $VIRTUALS increased by 10% to $1.75.
AIXBT
AIXBT is an AI-powered crypto influencer built on the Virtuals Protocol, designed to deliver market commentary and financial takes on X (formerly Twitter). Created by pseudonymous developer Rxbt, the agent blends narrative tracking with meme culture, amassing over 400,000 followers and driving its meme coin, AIXBT, to a peak market cap above $500M. Token holders with 600,000+ AIXBT gain access to the exclusive Aixbt Terminal, a sentiment analysis platform marketed as a Bloomberg-style dashboard. While technically limited in its analysis depth, AIXBT’s real value lies in its cultural resonance and early-mover advantage in AI-native content-driven token economies. At the time of reporting, AIXBT has increased by more than 15% in one day.
Conclusion
AI agent-driven crypto projects like ElizaOS, Virtuals, and AIXBT offer new models for investing, gaming, and content. Their long-term success will depend on real utility, user adoption, and ongoing product development. Investors should track usage, governance, and roadmap progress.
