Introduction: AI Agent Projects and Tokens in Web3
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is progressing at the speed of light, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the Web3 and crypto landscape. AI agents—autonomous programs capable of completing tasks and interacting without constant human input—have already started disrupting industries.
From managing digital assets to powering decentralised finance (DeFi), gaming, and knowledge-sharing platforms, these AI-driven tools are reshaping what’s possible in Web3 and blockchain.
The Rise of AI Agents: What Are They?
Imagine bots that don’t just follow instructions but learn, evolve, and even interact with one another without human oversight. That’s the essence of AI agents: souped-up versions of Alexa or Siri, capable of tackling complex tasks across industries.
In Web3, AI agents unlock unprecedented opportunities for efficiency, automation, and innovation. They’re already being deployed to optimise crypto trading, verify data, create interactive NFTs, and more.
The benefits? Increased productivity, smarter decision-making, and improved security—all essential for the decentralised economy.
AI-Centric Players Already Making a Dent in AI Blockchain
We've once discussed the meteoric rise of AI crypto coins and how they're playing an increasingly important role in incentivising communities to contribute to computing power, data, and models relating to AI. The price performance of the top AI crypto coins in 2024 has also pointed to a surge in investor confidence.
Among this list of top AI crypto giants include Fetch.ai (FET), SingularityNET (AGIX), and Ocean Protocol (OCEAN). Fetch.ai provides a platform for building and deploying autonomous AI agents, whereas SingularityNET offers a marketplace where developers can share and monetise their AI algorithms.
What was once a blue ocean is now being taken over by AI agent rising stars—Truth Terminal's GOAT and Bittensor's TAO being trending names—and they have captured the imaginations of both the mainstream Web3 and the meme communities.
Let's take a close look at some of them, and what they specialise in.

Griffain
Griffain is an AI agent platform built on the Solana blockchain. Focused on autonomy, efficiency, and accessibility, Griffain proffers a non-technical, low-code environment for users to create and deploy AI agents that handle critical on-chain operations—all without constant manual intervention.
At its core, Griffain operates with two types of AI agents:
Personal Agents, which users can customise for tasks such as executing blockchain transactions, retrieving real-time market data, and managing DeFi portfolios.
Special Agents, pre-configured AI models optimised for specific use cases, including high-frequency trading, liquidity management, and on-chain analytics.
Users can set up AI agents to monitor wallets, execute token swaps, automate staking, and even generate trading signals.
The platform’s rapid adoption—evidenced by its $200M market cap in just three months and endorsement from Solana's co-founder—reflects its compelling AI solution and an inclusion on this list.
