ERC-8004 has drawn more than 170,000 registered AI agents across Ethereum, BSC, and Base within months. New empirical data reveal how few expose a live service endpoint, and how coordinated Sybil behavior is already undermining on-chain reputation.
Prime Intellect just raised $130M at a $1B valuation without launching a token. Meanwhile, copycat coins are already trading under its name. Here’s what’s real, what isn’t, and what to watch next.
Sybil attacks don’t work the same way against decentralized AI networks as they do against blockchains. Here’s why identity, not infrastructure, is the unresolved weak point in Bittensor, Gensyn, Sentient, and Prime Intellect.
Akash Network is being forced off its own Cosmos chain by a hostile license change, even as its Burn-Mint Equilibrium ties AKT directly to AI compute demand. Here is the honest 2026 picture, providers and all.
Sentient launched with $85 million in backing, live AI products, and a token that reached major exchanges in January 2026. This analysis covers how the GRID earns, what OML fingerprinting can and cannot enforce, and what the supply schedule means for holders before the 2026 unlocks arrive.
io.net now processes over 4 billion AI tokens daily and has secured its largest enterprise contract. This analysis explores the platform’s adoption, how the IDE tokenomics model works, and the key risks investors should understand.
For the first time, AI agents can hold wallets, pay for services, and execute transactions without a human approving each step. Here is how the infrastructure actually works in 2026, what is already live, and what the risks are that most coverage skips over.
NEAR Protocol was built by one of the eight people who invented the Transformer architecture that powers modern AI. In 2026, that origin story is starting to matter. Here is what the protocol actually does, how it changed over the past year, and what the honest risks are.
Bittensor set out to build a decentralized AI marketplace where models compete for rewards based on real usefulness. Since then, the network has trained a 72B-parameter model, attracted ETF filings from Grayscale and Bitwise, and survived a governance crisis that erased nearly $900 million in market value. This article explores how Bittensor evolved through 2025 and 2026.
Storing AI crypto tokens on an exchange in 2026 introduces unnecessary custody risk. This guide compares the best hardware wallets for TAO, RNDR, FET, AGIX, and other AI-focused assets, including real compatibility differences between Ledger, Trezor, and Keystone.
