AI agent crypto: prices and market cap

An AI agent is software that can act on its own to reach a goal, such as posting on social media, managing a wallet or paying for a service. In crypto, an AI agent token is tied to a specific agent, to a launchpad where people create and tokenise agents, or to a framework for building them. Some are memecoins built around an agent's persona and have no use inside a protocol.

AI tokens such as Bittensor (TAO) or Render (RENDER) pay for the infrastructure behind AI: compute, models and data. AI agent tokens sit one level up, with the agents. On Virtuals Protocol, every agent token is paired with VIRTUAL in its liquidity pool, and VIRTUAL pays for agent inference and for agents trading with each other. On Allora (ALLO), participants stake the token to submit AI forecasts or to score them.
