In the cryptocurrency space, attention is everything. Whether it's quantitative traders, calm investors, or your mom making headlines on TV, anything that can attract eyeballs will create a buzz and often influence the price of tokens. In the realm of AI agents, there are currently two ecosystems that are drawing significant attention:
@virtuals_io, which has gained widespread recognition through continuous upgrades and the launch of a series of anticipated agent projects on Base.
@ai16zdao's Eliza platform, which helps teams quickly launch AI agents on Solana, turning bold ideas into reality.
Here’s how these ecosystems, along with others, are shaping the current landscape:
@virtuals_io – Pioneer of Tokenized Agents
This is the first platform to tokenize AI agents, currently hosting over 10 top-tier intellectual properties with unique expertise.
Upcoming: Communication features between agents. Imagine AI agents interacting autonomously, creating experiments we have yet to conceive.
Recent updates: Customizable agent tokens. New tokens can unlock all features with just $200,000 in funding, and existing Base tokens can be paired with agents.

@ai16zdao's Eliza Ecosystem – Open Source and Vibrant
Supporting some popular autonomous agent projects, such as:
- @pmairca (Investor AI)
- @degenspartanai (Trader AI)
- $ELIZA Framework (Core Infrastructure)
Currently, over 100 agents have been built on the Eliza stack, with new projects joining every day.
Special mention to @shawmakesmagic, who is leading trends in the crypto space with outstanding charisma and keen insights.
Recently, some concerns have arisen regarding Eliza: a new Eliza token was created, with 10% airdropped to original token holders (now managed by a third-party team).
Future plans also discuss the concept of "collective agents"—enabling interaction between agents within the Eliza ecosystem, similar to Virtuals' approach. If executed well, this could open up new scenarios for autonomous behavior and collaboration.

Other Platforms Worth Noting
- @HoloworldAI showcases the ability of $AVA to autonomously generate videos and engage in self-dialogue.
- @CreatorBid is known for its specialized AI agents, such as the WSB Agent.
- @CryptoEternalAI is a platform supporting on-chain agents, providing decentralized reasoning capabilities that can be deployed across multiple blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Base, and Solana.
Outstanding Performance of Individual Agents
@0xzerebro: Released a music album and video created by itself.
@Mika_Chasm: A fortune-telling agent with its own phone number and Telegram chat feature—yes, you can call directly for a reading.
Utility-First Platforms (Not Just Entertainment or Speculation)
@myshell_ai: An AI app store with its own web3 agent marketplace.
@questflow: Making productivity automation smarter.
@ARCAgents: Providing infrastructure for gaming agents.
These platforms often collaborate with major players like Virtuals or ai16z to expand their application scenarios, although some (like myshell) already have their own marketplace.
The Next Wave: DeFi Agents
Platforms like @modenetwork are preparing to launch hundreds of agents focused on DeFi.
They are partnering with collaborators like @autonolas and @gizatechxyz to introduce agents focused on trading, liquidity provision, money markets, and more.
Their AIFi incubation center is becoming a hub for top DeFi agents.
Many more agents, agent platforms, orchestration layers, and coordination layers are planned for launch in Q1 and Q2 of 2025.
Future Directions
Not long ago, @virtuals_io was the only major distribution center for agents. Now, with the addition of ai16z and the rise of utility-first platforms, this space is rapidly evolving.
The next 1-2 months will be crucial. Can Virtuals and ai16z solidify their positions? Or will new orchestration layers and platforms emerge as we move towards 2025?
What do you think—are we heading towards consolidation, or could we see the emergence of new breakthrough players?
