Reshaping DeFi and Related Industry Development
HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of Huobi HTX, is leading the future development of the integration of AI and Web3 technologies. The managing partner of HTX Ventures recently elaborated on investment opportunities and challenges in this field during a themed discussion hosted by Google Cloud, further solidifying HTX Ventures' strategic positioning in emerging technologies.
Integrating AI and Web3: Investment Opportunities and Challenges
As AI technologies like ChatGPT disrupt various industries, HTX Ventures has adopted a cautious and focused investment strategy, concentrating on selecting projects that combine AI and blockchain technology with far-reaching impacts.
According to the direction of participation in cryptocurrency technology, the managing partner of HTX Ventures categorizes future investment opportunities in the AI field into three different directions:
● Base Layer: Technologies such as zkML (Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning) that provide highly secure, verifiable, and transparent solutions by integrating AI and blockchain technology.
● Execution Layer: AI technology can enhance data processing capabilities, support the automated development of decentralized applications (dApps), and ensure the security of on-chain transactions.
● Application Layer: AI-driven tools (such as trading bots and predictive analytics tools) play a significant role in the DeFi space. For example, the Corex project, invested in by HTX Ventures, utilizes AI to optimize its smart investment services. AI can also enrich and innovate gaming experiences in GameFi projects.
Building a Safer Crypto World: The Role of AI and Investment
The managing partner of HTX Ventures also pointed out that investors should focus on the following key factors when evaluating AI and Web3 projects:
● Balance between Decentralization and Centralization: Many blockchain projects claiming to integrate AI technology partially rely on centralized infrastructure to execute AI applications. Therefore, investors need to carefully assess whether the project truly achieves decentralization of AI technology.
● Limitations of Smart Contracts: The complexity of AI models far exceeds the execution capabilities of existing blockchain smart contracts. Methods like zkML can bridge this gap by balancing off-chain computation with on-chain verification.
● Data Privacy Protection: The development of AI heavily relies on vast amounts of data, while Web3 emphasizes user privacy and data sovereignty. Investors should pay attention to projects that can provide sufficient data training for AI models while ensuring user privacy.
● Cross-Disciplinary Talent Pool: Both AI and Web3 are highly specialized fields, and project teams need to possess cross-disciplinary talent that understands both AI technology and blockchain architecture. Investors should evaluate whether the team has sufficient technical capabilities to address the challenges of integrating and innovating AI and blockchain technologies.
Looking ahead, the managing partner of HTX Ventures anticipates that AI applications will achieve exponential growth in the next 5 to 10 years, particularly in key areas of enhancing efficiency and driving innovation. He believes that decentralized AI, AI-driven smart contracts, and AI-driven Web3 content creation will become major investment opportunities.
During TOKEN2049, the managing partner of HTX Ventures shared these insights in a themed discussion titled "AI and Web3: Building a Trusted Digital Future," hosted by Google Cloud, and engaged in dialogue with industry leaders such as F2Pool founder and CEO Discus Fish, BNB Chain Senior Business Development Director Walter Lee, and Google Corporate Development Head Frank Lin. The managing partner of HTX Ventures reiterated HTX Ventures' commitment to promoting the integration of AI and blockchain: "As AI technology continues to evolve, the infrastructure of Web3 must also be improved and upgraded accordingly. The combination of AI and blockchain is expected to reshape the development of multiple industries, and HTX Ventures will always be at the forefront of this transformation."
