Beginner's Guide: Basic Knowledge for Investing in the AI Agent Field
Because some AI agents are really providing tangible services and value now. In the future, they will definitely enter our lives and change our lives.During this time, I have shared some of my views on the AI agent sector and my thoughts on its investment prospects. In the comments at the end of these articles, I found that many readers still lack a certain understanding of some important basic knowledge. Therefore, in this article, I will introduce some relevant knowledge to everyone.
I. Relevant Information Channels
To gain an in-depth understanding of the various projects and detailed information in this sector, in addition to some well-known media within the community (such as Rhythm, Deep Tide, PANews, etc.), Twitter (x.com) is essential.
Often, first-hand information is released on Twitter first. Even the currently most well-known AI agent AIXBT became famous and gained attention because it released first-hand news on Twitter.
Additionally, commonly used websites like www.coinmarketcap.com and www.coingecko.com are also essential tools. We can find token information and project information on these sites.
II. Ways to Participate
The AI agent sector currently appears to be a very new field.
Why is that?
Because the vast majority of well-known project tokens have not yet been listed on major exchanges familiar to Chinese people.
Therefore, to participate in this sector, most projects can only be accessed through on-chain DEX, and many highly promising projects have not been listed for a long time and can only be exchanged on DEX.
If you only focus on what can be bought on CEX, you will definitely miss many opportunities.
I have repeatedly emphasized to our readers that once you enter this ecosystem, you should use DEX more and CEX less. I myself now spend most of my time on DEX and hardly touch CEX anymore.
The current AI agent ecosystem is mainly concentrated on Solana and Base.
On Solana, the main DEX used are Raydium and Jupiter. If you find it troublesome, you can directly use some wallet tools (like Phantom) to conduct on-chain exchanges directly in the wallet.
On Base, the main DEX used are Aerodrome and Uniswap. If you find it troublesome, you can also directly use wallets like Metamask to conduct on-chain exchanges in the wallet.
III. Project Classification
In previous articles, I have recommended some articles (I will post the links to those articles at the end), which provide a more detailed classification of the entire sector's projects. You can use those articles as a starting point to continue searching for more detailed information about various projects online, especially on Twitter.
Overall, the AI agent projects on Solana can be traced back to the original GOAT (https://goatchan.xyz/), where you can find all information related to GOAT online, and then you can discover a series of subsequent new projects, such as ACT, ai16zdao, 0xzerebro, arcdotfun, swarms, etc.
The main AI agent projects on Base can basically be traced back to the Virtuals platform (https://app.virtuals.io/). The well-known AI agents in the Base ecosystem mainly originate from projects incubated by this platform, such as AIXBT, LUNA, SEKOIA, VADER, etc.
At least so far, I believe this sector is still in its early stages. Many institutions and even venture capitalists have not yet paid large-scale attention to this sector.
New projects emerge in large numbers every day in this sector. When evaluating these projects, we should choose subfields that we are familiar with and can understand. Any coin recommended by anyone can only serve as a reference; the most crucial thing is to understand it yourself.
If you don't understand it, and you only buy A because you heard Zhang San say A is good today, will you hesitate tomorrow if you hear Li Si say A is not good?
Of course, if you feel that you are not interested in this sector, do not force yourself to participate, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the development of technology in this field. Because some AI agents are indeed providing tangible services and value now. In the future, they will definitely enter our lives and change our lives.
