AI is undoubtedly the absolute main theme in the Crypto market recently, with various AI concept tokens rising sharply. So, how are AI NFTs performing? Which AI NFT projects are worth our attention? BlockBeats has compiled a list of 13 AI NFT projects worth following.
ai16z partners
Although it originated from a NFT series created by community member @SOLsesame, it is clearly supported by ai16z officially.
Shaw has expressed support multiple times on Twitter:
In the official Discord of ai16z, there is also a special "NFT" role set up for ai16z partners holders.
Currently, it is unknown what specific utility it will have; the series itself is not AI narrative but has a close relationship with ai16z. The current floor price is close to 4 SOL, nearing its previous high.
zereborn
This comes from the zerebro official and is likely the first NFT series created by an AI Agent. I believe the official endorsement plus the AI creation narrative gives zereborn a higher market value than ai16z partners, even though the market cap of $zerebro is currently nearly $1.5 billion less than that of $ai16z.
Currently, it is unknown what specific utility it will have, with a floor price close to 5.7 SOL.
Virtuals World
This is a Free Mint land series issued by Virtuals in July 2024, with a total of only 100 pieces and no restrictions like white lists. Despite this, it took nearly 20 minutes to mint at that time, and you even had the opportunity to buy in at such a low price:
With the explosive popularity of AI concepts, as the leading AI project on the Base network, this series has now soared. If it weren't for the limited supply, it would definitely be a strong contender for the biggest NFT play of 2024, but indeed very few NFT players have noticed this hundredfold NFT project, as it is actually in the AI track, which is quite different from other fields.
The current floor price is 11 ETH, and players are hopeful that it can play a role in AI + gaming in the future.
2049 // Reflections
This is the official NFT series of Freysa AI, a limited NFT collection that runs autonomously in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), providing access to tools, seed prompts, and task objectives. The minting price for this series is 0.25 ETH, with a total of 2049 pieces, and the current floor price is close to 0.6 ETH, corresponding to a market cap of about $4.2 million, while its token $FAI has a market cap of nearly $370 million.
Smol Brains
This series, also known as "Magic Monkeys," is an older project that has been around since the last cycle and has always been a core PFP project in the Treasure DAO ecosystem.
In the past week, Smol Brains has increased fourfold, with the current floor price close to 0.4 ETH.
The reason for the rise of "Magic Monkeys" is still Shaw, as he was originally a developer in the Treasure DAO ecosystem and is responsible for the Smol Brains game project, Smol World. Smol World will be an AI game where each Smol Brains acts as an AI Agent in on-chain games, capable of stealing each other's assets for PvP, and the game will integrate with the Eliza framework.
The token $SMOL of Smol Brains has also increased up to eightfold in the past week, and $SMOL will migrate to a V2 version to enhance its utility in the Smol World game. Currently, the market cap of $SMOL is about $16.5 million.
Kemonokaki
This project might seem a bit forced to include, but it is worth noting. Kemonokaki can be summarized in one sentence as the Milady of Base.
The reason for its rise in the past week is that it will enjoy a white list for the new project Daolympus World from daos.world's $OHM.
Additionally, in the ALCHDAO multi-signature, three members are from the daos.world team. ALCHDAO is a DAO focused on investing in tokenized AI agents and blockchain innovations.
Moreover, in July 2024, the official Virtuals Twitter also mentioned Kemonokaki. Of course, this was quite some time ago and doesn't indicate much, but it more so highlights Kemonokaki's status as the Base Milady.
Parallel Avatars
Parallel is a TCG (trading card game) on the Base chain, belonging to the Echelon Prime Foundation. In 2021, Parallel completed a $50 million financing round led by Paradigm, with other investors including YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, Focus Labs, OSS Capital, and Yunt Capital.
Parallel is already available for players to play. Beyond Parallel, the Echelon Prime Foundation is also developing a survival game called Parallel Colony that integrates ERC-6551 technology and allows players to collaborate with AI. Players can assign tasks to AI Agents, which will complete them autonomously, communicate with other AI Agents, and interact with players to provide their game ideas. AI Agents will also autonomously trade in Parallel Colony.
The initial AI Agent game characters need to be created through Parallel Avatars, and there will be mechanisms in the future for regular players to also obtain AI Agent game characters to participate in the game. Currently, the floor price of Parallel Avatars is close to 1 ETH.
This game will open for testing in the first quarter of this year. In addition to Parallel Colony, Parallel has also launched an AI-driven full-chain automated trading tool @AIWayfinder, which has a strong AI gambling vibe.
CryptoAgents
This is a series that has not yet been released, with a total supply of 10,000, Free Mint. In simple terms, this will be a NFT series created by AI Agents, but the distinguishing feature is that it will be a fully on-chain NFT series, meaning the images are rendered through the smart contract code.
The project is launched by @punk3700, who is both the founder of the modular Bitcoin Layer2 project BVM and the founder of Eternal AI, a multi-chain AI layer.
Bossu
A new project, currently planned to mint on January 7, nicknamed "Shark Egg" in the Chinese-speaking community, as its cute image has attracted more attention from NFT players.
The information about the team @wawe_online is quite confusing. Their official website states that they are a digital art creative studio established in Argentina in 2019, but LinkedIn shows their location as Chiang Mai, Thailand, while Behance indicates China.
However, this is a Free Mint series, so it’s not a big issue. Their token $BOSSU operates on the Eliza framework, with a current market cap close to $2 million. The NFT series itself is an IP image developed by this studio over the years, not generated by an AI Agent, but using AI Agents to operate the IP image and then release images does reflect a development approach beyond just starting with a single image.
xNomad
This is a new AI NFT project from NFTGo that has not yet been released. In simple terms, it combines AI Agents with small images, allowing NFT holders to use their NFTs as AI Agents to invest, claim airdrops, etc. The money earned by the small images can also be withdrawn.
It operates on the Eliza framework, so let’s see if Shaw can take notice; if so, it would be more optimistic.
Botto
Starting from here, we have some projects that differ from the current mainstream AI narratives and are likely to attract the attention of NFT players.
Botto, old NFT players might remember, is a project that has been around since the last cycle. Botto is a decentralized AI artist that has been working since October 8, 2021. The AI creates 350 pieces of art each week, and the community votes on one to be auctioned on SuperRare. Voting requires staking $BOTTO to earn voting points, and 40% of the auction proceeds are used to reward voters.
The community also decides on the AI's creative themes through proposals, whether to introduce or remove the AI models used, allowing Botto to explore different artistic directions over various periods.
This project has weathered both bull and bear markets, with six of Botto's works auctioned at Sotheby's on October 24, 2024, fetching a total of $351,600. Currently, the market cap of $BOTTO is approximately $31 million.
Neura
Neura is not a conventional AI image generation platform; in fact, the team behind Neura, Adanede, intends to create a decentralized, self-aware AI artist through self-funding. Neura will create art independently, but users can influence Neura's creations using Android NFTs. Different Android NFTs will grant Neura different creative styles, making each user a unique node for Neura.
Currently, Neura has created its first series, "The Memories," and completed a Free Mint. This series allows users to freely inspire the AI, which then reinterprets the user's basic sketches, essentially showcasing Neura's capabilities first, while the journey of developing the AI artist has not officially begun yet, making it worth following.
alignDRAW
These images are quite abstract… right?
This rough mosaic abstraction is because these works were created by the first text-to-image AI model in history. In 2015, 19-year-old Elman Mansimov achieved the first AI operation that generated images from text prompts through his alignDRAW model.
This is a pure art project, primarily focusing on the narrative of AI development history. In 2024, this series reached a historical peak price of nearly 3 ETH, with an initial minting price of 0.1 ETH. Currently, the floor price of this series is about 1.66 ETH.
