Unlike Virtuals.io, which is an online marketplace focused more on the gaming and entertainment industries, A(i)gentFi is dedicated to the creation and development of AI agents. It uses DeFi automation to streamline complex processes, a fee-sharing mechanism that rewards participants, and a tokenized AI ownership system that allows users to co-own AI agents in ZKsync.

To encourage more developers to use its AI broker platform, Holdstation is also launching a $2 million grant to support developers, DAOs, and creators in building AI and blockchain projects on A(i)gentFi. Holdstation will provide technical assistance for the project, such as infrastructure, tools, and expert guidance, as well as financial support in the form of Holdstation’s governance token, HOLD.

AI technology is still in the early stages of entering the crypto space. An analysis from Syncracy Capital showed that AI-integrated crypto projects account for only 1% of the total crypto market, but with the rise of AI platforms like AI Infra, this figure is expected to rise up to 10x.

AI platform developer KaJ Labs recently invested $100 million to build advanced AI solutions in the XRP ecosystem. Not only that, blockchain tool developer Tools for Humanity has also partnered with AI startup Modulus Labs to improve the security of its layer 2 network World.
