AI cryptocurrencies are tokens that power AI blockchain platforms such as The Graph and SingularityNET. Users spend tokens to use the platforms and the benefits of their integrated artificial intelligence.
We looked at the top 10 AI crypto projects by market cap, and explored how AI is implemented and the unique value it brings to each platform.
The chart (GRT)
Market Capitalization: $US1.968 trillion
The graph is a protocol for indexing and querying data from blockchains in a similar way to how Google indexes and queries data from websites. Indexing blockchain data can be challenging, but The Graph aims to change that by organizing data into smaller ‘subgraphs’.
Its native, Ethereum-based cryptocurrencyBRT, was worth US$0.21 as of January 3, 2024, down from its February 2021 high of US$2.34.
Bittensor (TAO)
Market cap: $US1.558 trillion
Bittensor aims to create a neural internet by revolutionizing the development of machine learning platforms. The project is establishing a peer-to-peer marketplace for machine intelligence where AI models can combine their intelligence, essentially creating a “digital hive mind.” This innovative, decentralized method is designed to enable rapid expansion and sharing of knowledge between AI systems.
As of January 2024, TAO was trading at US$260, down slightly from its recent high of US$385 in December 2023.
Fetch.AI
Market Cap: $US598
Fetch.ai is an AI and machine learning platform based on the blockchain. Fetch.ai is all about automating business tasks like data processing and trading. Its native cryptocurrency, FET, is used to pay for transactions on the network.
