AI Crypto Projects EXPLAINED: Overhyped or Game-Changer? (2025 Guide for Beginners)

crypto and AI actually have a lot in common ever since Bitcoin dropped people couldn't stop arguing is it a scam is it the next big thing doesn't matter with Sauron one thing's clear crypto is here to stay now with AI we're getting the same Vibes when chbt landed was like the world finally woke up to AI some people freaked out yelling Skynet While others were busy damming up AI powered utopus the point is both crypto and AI have this polarizing love at or hated energy so when Collide as fireworks as of

December last year the total Market valuation of crypto AI projects had totaled over $44 billion if you compare this number to something like meme coins which are valued at $17 billion total looks super impressive meme coins aren't about anything serious anyway and if you factor in the fact that the crypto AI Market has seen a growth of over 400% in a year changes the perspective doesn't it right now there are over 600 active crypto AI projects in pretty much all niches like decentralized data marketplaces Predictive Analytics automated trading systems and even content creation few months back van e investment management firm released a research and predictions for the crypto AI Market this document states that in just 5 years by 2030 crypto AI revenues could reach $10. 2 billion that's not the valuation of crypto AI coins it's just the revenues and according to PWC blockchain AI projects are expected to add 1. 8 trillion dollar to the US economy Alone by 2030 and there are many examples of crypto AI projects that are doing exceptionally well near protocols near coin has grown over 900% since 2021 fetch ai's fedcoin has grown by almost 2,000% since 2021 one of the core reasons for such explosive growth and positive predictions is the fundamental

nature of the bond between crypto and AI the blockchain technology that cryptocurrencies are based on has the potential to solve many of the problems that AI Computing faces today there are countless projects that claim to be AI powered or AI focused and it's very easy to mistake a pump and dumb scheme for something legitimate even big players sometimes have abysmally bad reviews from users online so instead of providing a massive list of projects I've decided to focus on once that as an AI Enthusiast I see as important and genuinely useful what kinds of problems do these scrypto AI projects actually solve before we dive in I need to mention that this video is for informational and entertainment purposes only it is not Financial or investment advice and you should not rely on it as such always conduct your own research before making any investment decisions right now there is a big problem in AI giant companies like open AI Google and

Microsoft basically run the show they've got the best data the strongest computers and the top talent that leaves smaller companies and independent developers struggling to get any attention or find buyers for their special specialized models those small models can be crazy good at specific tasks like the ones used for AI detection but it's tough for them to compete against the big do- it all models benzor wants to fix this by creating a decentralized Marketplace for AI think of it like a giant talent show for AI models where anyone from anywhere can participate they launched back in 2021 and 2022 they rolled out their coin tow their system connects machine learning models from all over the world in one Network so when someone sends a question or task a bunch of these models I'll try to come up with the best answer the best model for a given query gets rewarded in to tokens simple as that instead of computers mining for crypto by crunching random math bource network

has AI competing to produce the smartest solution the hope is that this will make AI more accurate more factual and way easier to get your hands on Reddit is quite active with his 3. 5 th000 followers this is mainly because the project creators don't try to promote their coin much focusing more on creating a product Vision over money I get that have you ever thought about creating your own game I always wanted to and with a pit I can they are sponsoring this video and this toll that was for the easiest game creation ever no need to learn coding or design AI does everything AI can generate code for the game design all the elements such as backgrounds and it will make it all work with almost sow involvement just by telling AI what to do with up pits built-in artificial intelligence you can add Unique Images sounds and content the platform allows for play testing and improvements in real time the games can be easily shared all for you to play check out the Discover feed to find new games find great creators and get fresh inspiration for your Creations creating and Publishing games doesn't need to take months or years now can be done in minutes now we need to install special software everything can be done in your browser both on desktop and mobile with up pit you can create any game you want easily and bring your dreams to life and let's not forget about the community it also unites like-minded people and helps them engage with each other fostering creativity and new ideas play games share them with the audience and connect with people while playing apply as Creator through the link in the description below or scan this QR code for a chance to win a price from the $2500 poll in idle game the contest create the best game share it and claim one of the prices full details in the link below as we all know all neural networks rely on data for training Al AI fed Chad gbt countless articles books and Reddit posts to teach it help to write but most of that data is locked up by big corporations or hidden away leaving small AI developers stuck with limited lowquality data says and for the people who actually own the data there's always a risk it will be misused or leaked it's surprising we haven't seen sensitive stuff like Social Security numbers floating around right now even though Chad gbt blew up in 2022 this data problem wasn't some folks radar long before that in fact ocean protocol came out back in 2017 specifically to tackle this issue so what is ocean protocol it's a blockchainbased platform that treats data like tokenized asset

sort of like a Marketplace for data where both AI developers and data owners can share info safely and transparently yes it might remind you of nfts but here the focus is on data tokens these tokens let you buy access to data under certain conditions meanwhile encryption keeps everything loged down instead of handing over raw data which could lead to leaks Ocean's compute to dat approach runs algorithms right on the encrypted info no one ever sees the raw data itself so for something like healthcare researchers can analyze patient info to build better diagnostic TOS without anyone's personal details getting exposed it's definitely complex but that's why it works this privacy Focus approach to sharing data is something all companies should consider Apple does something similar by keeping data on your device but ocean takes it to decentralized level and yes just like Apple stock ocean protocol has its own coin ocean overall it's a mid-range crypto project but it's holding steady and has definitely caught people's attention the AI block blockchain space social media wise their Twitter page is Super Active over 11,000 posts and more than 200k followers that shows there is a big community on that platform however

the Reddit side of things seems quieter with the last post popping up about 7 months ago but overall Ocean's good enough action happening to keep an eye on the computing power is a massive headache no matter where you look AI crypto even your phone but with AI the SC in issues way more obvious than just upgrading your iPhone from 15 Pro to 16 Pro the biggest AI models like gbt 4 and Dolly need insane amounts of computing muscle and ren in That Power from The Usual Suspects Google Cloud Microsoft Azure can cost tens of millions of dollars just for training one model render Network takes an interesting take on Computing instead of relying on giant data sensors it Taps into idle gpus owned by Ordinary People and sometimes even organizations Gamers with tricked out rigs companies sit in unused Hardware everyone's good some extra horsepower lying around render divides up big tasks like training ml models or 3D rendering into smaller chunks and Farms them out to these gpus in parallel in the end renders clients get the power they need faster and cheaper without building a whole new server form payment

happens via the native render tokens you pay GPU owners for their contribution they make some extra cash and you don't need to spend a fortune in physical Hardware it's basically a decentralized market for computing capacity if you ask me it's definitely flirting with AI because you can run all sorts of AI workloads on it merging crypto and AI is tough but these guys are actually making it happen right now so I'd say it counts they're also pretty active in social media the Twitter page has over 200k followers and more than 10K posts so there is a lively Community there on Reddit they have about 7K Subs which is relatively smaller but it's still active being a crypto AI project doesn't always mean you have to build AI from scratch or fix some neverbe seen AI issue sometimes it's simply about making AI more useful in the real world that's where fetch AI comes in they're taking blockchain Tech and mixing it with these intelligent agents if you're thinking about custom gbts you're on the right track only these AI agents can do way more than just Chad they can learn from specific data sets integrate into different systems and basically talk to each other on the blockchain with fetch AI every exchange between AI agents is recorded on the public Ledger this not only keeps things transparent but also make sure no interaction goes

undocumented the native fat token is at the heart of this let's say your AI agent is out there booking hotel rooms will spend fed to pay other agents that check room availability compare prices and validate user preferences all these transactions get locked into the blockchain so it's easy to see who did what and where the tokens went these AI agents can hop around various networks and pull whatever resources they need create an ecosystem where data services and tasks are shared openly even better you don't have to be a giant tech company to join in Fetch actually provides TOS so people like he and me can create our own AI agents customized to do whatever tasks we want in a way that's open and verifiable fetch AI has been around since 2019 so it's not exactly a newcomer interestingly on coinbase it's listed under the name artificial super intelligence Alliance coin due to fetch's spip with ocean protocol and Singularity net I did mention Singularity net here but I haven't included a list of useful projects mainly because it feels a bit fishy to me Singularity net is a project that claims to be a One-Stop shop for all things AI decentralized AGI robotics a Computing digital music Marketplace basically a laundry list of disconnected features if you ask me it's trying to solve a ton of unrelated problems all at once regardless they have a token called agx which they recently rebranded from AI Agent X AI X some people might see

potential in platform aiming for decentralized AI everything but personally I'm cautious very interesting project for me personally is near protocol and it's near coin near protocol is a fast low cost blockchain platform built for running decentralized apps while it's not specifically an AI project it could easily hook into AI down the road because how flexible and efficient it is one of the biggest reasons I am excited about near is that it's super developer friendly which could help it grab a good chunk of the web 3 Market in the coming years and it's also pretty Lively on social media there is one project that might have some potential even though it's been going through a rough patch recently the project is called internet computer and the coin is ICP the goal is to let developers host websites apps and services is directly on a decentralized network no metlan Cloud providers like Google cloud and just for the sake of it let's add virtuals protocol to the mix this one's really unusual and unique and that's what makes it so interesting basically this project is all about creating and co-owning AI agents in online games these AI agents look like in-game characters and are able to chat move around in 3D interact with onchain wallets and even pick up items in games like Roblox by tokenizing these AI agents on the blockchain multiple people can co-own them and share in any Revenue they make like nfts but with real utility what excites me most is that these projects are already driving improvements in the AI industry today the potential is clear and the numbers don't lie anyway thanks for watching and don't forget to click the link in the description or scan this QR code for a chance to win a prize from the $2,500 pool in an idle game theme
