The NEAR Protocol has launched a $20 million AI Agent Fund aimed at scaling decentralized AI applications, marking a strategic move to enhance on-chain automation. This initiative is part of a broader trend in the cryptocurrency sector where artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into various projects. The fund will provide financial support and resources to innovative agent tokens, as well as access to no-code platforms to facilitate the development of AI projects. Despite the launch, the market for AI tokens has seen a downturn, with the total market cap for AI agent tokens dropping from $10 billion to $6.6 billion in recent weeks. Notably, while many AI tokens experienced significant losses, SNAI reported a 127% gain amidst the market-wide sell-off. The NEAR Foundation's focus on AI-driven applications in gaming and finance could be transformative, although successful execution remains critical.
