A new round of technology and business model inflection point has arrived

Over the past hundred years, all walks of life have experienced countless technological explosions. Each technological change has brought disruptive changes to the mode of production and redefiniciónned the business model. Many giants have declined due to their failure to change the underlying logic in time, and countless new forces have emerged in line with the trend of change.

In recent years, the rise of AI technology has once again triggered a similar paradigm shift. From breakthroughs in deep learning to the popularization of natural language processing, to the widespread application of generative AI in content creation, medical care, finance and other fields, AI is penetrating into all aspects of society at a speed that exceeds previous technologies. Its potential to improve human productivity and innovate business models cannot be ignored.

Since ChatGPT became popular, the Crypto industry has also seen numerous AI projects, but most of them are project-based, without a systematic ecosystem and application network. It is difficult for startups to succeed, and users and liquidity are scattered across countless networks, and the development of the ecosystem is still in its infancy.

In fact, as early as the beginning of 2023, BNB Chain started its journey of AI ecological layout with a forward-looking strategic vision. Many products including MyShell have completed a large number of user accumulation and basic education. At the same time, there is a large amount of accumulated funds in BNB Chain. In the AI boom, the demand for excellent products is more urgent, and the probability and upper limit of the project development are higher. After years of operation, the infrastructure of BNB Chain has been improved day by day, which can not only meet the transaction needs of users, but also serve as a solid foundation for AI development.

How to seize the initiative in the new round of technological inflection points? The AI First concept came into being . This concept does not regard AI as a tool or additional element, but integrates it into every step of business logic, decision-making process and product design as a fundamental way of thinking. BNB Chain not only provides development opportunities for projects, but also takes the lead in integrating the AI First concept into the AI development of the ecosystem, aiming to lead the AI development trend with a higher-level and subversive development thinking.

The AI wave is sweeping Crypto, where is the industry heading?

In the early days of ChatGPT鈥檚 popularity, the main development direction of new projects in the Crypto industry focused on introducing AI tools in specific links and using AI to empower Crypto, such as the trading information tool Paal AI and the AI game Sleepless AI.

In the subsequent period of rapid development of AI, its large-scale demand for data and computing power led to the rise of a series of Crypto-enabled AI projects, including Aethir and io.net in terms of computing power, and Nimble Network and Aggregata in terms of data.

However, although countless AI projects have been born in the past two years, only a few have really come out and survived. In addition to the fact that AI technology itself is still developing, there is a lack of collaborative efforts at the ecosystem level, and the wild growth of each project, which has led to the potential of projects and developers not being fully realized:

• The explosion of L1 and L2 has led to liquidity fragmentation, user migration stagnation, and also hindered the development of AI projects. Whether the startup ecosystem selected by the project has sufficient liquidity, a sufficient user base, and long-term cultural accumulation is crucial to the growth rate of the project .

• The development of projects based on short-term needs has led to serious homogeneity, with similar application scenarios and technical paths. Projects compete more on funding and operations rather than technology. Teams with strong funding and operations are more likely to stand out, while projects with excellent technology but lack of funding and support are unlikely to stand out . Although financial platforms such as Virtuals have alleviated this problem to a certain extent, they require sufficient funds, users and transaction infrastructure in the ecosystem to cooperate with them.

• There is a lack of linkage between AI projects in different tracks, which has failed to amplify product performance and lacks component-based development products like LangChain. Although products such as Eliza and Eternal AI have initially filled the gap, there is still room for long-term development and a higher level of aggregation is needed.

From an ecological perspective, BNB Chain is fully embracing the AI wave, aiming to gain a foothold in the AI field through strong financial support, deep technical empowerment, and precise control of future trends. The broad stage it has built provides unprecedented growth opportunities for various projects.

Why BNB Chain will be a fertile ground for the flourishing growth of AI ecosystem?

Early entry into the AI ecosystem

BNB Chain has been planning for AI for a long time. In the sixth phase of Binance Labs project incubation, it incubated AI projects such as MyShell and NFPrompt. These projects are all built on BNB Chain and opBNB, bringing a large and solid user base to the BNB ecosystem. Taking MyShell as an example, according to previous statistics , as of the third quarter of this year, there were 540,000 addresses participating in its on-chain activities.

In the subsequent MVB VII, there were 6 AI projects among the 13 projects, and there were 9 AI projects in the eighth phase of MVB. The attention continues to rise, and the sub-sectors are also continuously expanding. The three projects in the sixth phase of project incubation are biased towards application and application development. Several phases of MVB include data infrastructure such as Nimble Network, Gata, AlayaAI, Codatta, etc., as well as the most popular AI Agent tracks in recent times, such as Holoworld AI and Aspecta. No matter which AI sub-sector, it is within the scope of BNB Chains attention and support .

Follow the trend and focus on support

In addition to paying attention to and focusing on the development of AI in the initial stage before the boom, BNB Chain is also gradually increasing its attention and support for this track. On December 21, BNB Chain and Binance Labs opened the ninth phase of MVB applications. According to the official announcement, this phase will focus on the AI track, including AI Agent, AI Games, Data Labeling, DataDAO and other sub-sectors.

At the same time, Binance Alpha of Binance Wallet once again exposed some mature AI projects. Among the 38 tokens launched in the first six phases, 13 belonged to the AI track, including the Agent protocol AICell on BNB Chain and the AI infrastructure ChainGPT. After these two projects were launched on Binance Alpha, they gained 66% and 58% respectively.

Whether it is a startup project or a mature project, BNB Chains AI-centric development strategy will provide sufficient exposure and resource support, allowing the team to focus on project development and fully unleash product potential in a favorable environment.

Why BNB Chain will be a fertile ground for the flourishing growth of AI ecosystem?

In the previous chapter, we mentioned the two mainstream integration directions of AI tools participating in the operation of Crypto and decentralized provision of AI basic resources. Recently, Virtuals and pump.fun have demonstrated a third path for combining the attention economy with AI development – projects launch project tokens in a high-exposure environment, show project results and disclose progress on various social media platforms and technology platforms, and then the market freely prices the projects.

In this way, start-up projects can gain a lot of attention and quickly accumulate funds and reputation based on their technology, team background, and long-term concepts. However, to give full play to this financial feature, several prerequisites are required: a large number of end users, long-term user mental education and accumulation, and mature trading tools .

• Industry-leading user and capital pool : Only with a large number of end users can the exponential communication effect of the attention economy be fully utilized. Chains such as Ape have also attracted a wave of users by opening pump platforms, but these chains have insufficient users and funds, and can only become Ponzi structures and PvP mutual cutting of funds on the market. They can neither play the role of driving product development nor become the cornerstone of long-term product development. DefiLlama data shows eso BNB Chain TVL is 5.6 billion US dollars, ranking fifth in the entire network , higher than Base and behind Bitcoin. At the same time, according to official data , BSCs DAU is as high as 1.12 million. This industry-leading number of users and funds will be able to become the basis for the vigorous development of the project.

• Perfect user education and accumulation : Why did pump explode one month after it was launched on Solana? The reason is that SOL had completed sufficient user mental education before March. Although RUGs occurred frequently on the chain before the birth of pump, the accumulation of years in the same field completed the cultivation of user groups, habits and patterns, and finally detonated the ecosystem. BNB Chain has been born for four years, and there are also a large number of users who are familiar with transactions and curious about new things. Benchmarking with similar four.meme and PancakeSwap SpringBoard, although the launch is relatively late, we have also seen considerable results, proving the achievements and unlimited potential of BNB Chain in user cultivation.

• Mature infrastructure : Finally, the ecosystem needs a sufficiently convenient trading infrastructure to fully realize the value of a large number of users. In the third quarter of this year, Ethereum and SunPump successively took over pump.fun, but the popularity only lasted for 1-2 months. The core reasons for the failure to maintain the popularity include expensive gas fees, incomplete and imperfect information and trading tools, etc. In short, the transaction threshold on such chains is high, which hinders the entry of users and funds. On the BNB Chain, on the one hand, the transaction fee is low and the TPS is extremely high, allowing users of different capital levels to participate in the development and construction of the project. On the other hand, after years of development, the DeFi products on the BNB Chain have been improved day by day, including PancakeSwap, which ranks first in the transaction volume , the third in the issuance of stablecoins, and further derivative tools Lista DAO . Whether it is the demand for information such as transactions and addresses, or the richness and ease of use of tools, and then to advanced derivative tools, they are rich and complete, and the needs of players of different levels can be met , which improves the market circulation speed and pricing speed, and brings out the value of a large number of users .

Multiple technical architectures to support project development

In addition to helping projects acquire resources and users, the three pillars of BNB Chain, namely BNB Chain itself, high-performance chain opBNB, and storage protocol Greenfield, are also powerful driving forces for AI development.

The core elements of AI underlying development include models, data, computing power and other aspects. As one of the mainstream decentralized storage protocols, BNB Greenfield can first serve as a stable and cost-effective storage and hosting solution. Projects such as StarAI have successfully hosted their networks on Greenfield. Furthermore, the combination with smart contracts can ensure transaction transparency and equity distribution, and can also serve as the development basis for further iterative applications such as DataDAO.

For opBNB, according to official data, its current TPS is as high as 4,600 and DAU is 4.7 million. This extremely high performance can support the real-time and concurrent performance requirements of complex AI applications.

The AI product matrix on BNB Chain is richer, and there are many landing applications in the ecosystem , which can support the combined use, joint planning and common growth of products. At the bottom layer, Web3 tag projects such as DIN and Alaya AI are providing massive data for AI models. At the middle layer, ChainGPT provides an integrated solution for blockchain and AI. In application development, MyShell integrates hundreds of AI interfaces to support AI development for different depths and different fields; Eternal AI is about to launch the framework tool Agent Studio, allowing developers to create AI Agents in a component-based manner; in January, there will also be deployments of AI Agent projects such as Tearline and DeAgentAI. Finally, BNB Chain has achieved a great expansion in the toC application landscape. NFP uses AI to drive UGC design; Palio AI created by Xterio gives NPCs emotions and changes the interactive form of the game; MEET 48 has opened up a new track for Web3 idol entertainment.

BNB Chain is actively developing AI, which can plan and guía the birth and implementation of new products from a higher dimension. At present, more developers are urgently needed to participate in the AI construction of BNB Chain. Whether they have outstanding innovation capabilities or execution capabilities, the trendsetters of the AI era are expected to emerge in this ecosystem.

AI First opens up endless possibilities

AI is no longer just an additional tool to help certain links, it is a disruptive technology. AI can subvert the form and depth of interaction between game NPCs and players, AI can level the threshold for NFT creation, and AI can increase the breadth and depth of transaction information to an unprecedented level.

OpenAI will launch a new generation of AI agents in 2025, and Alphabet will create a new form of AI interaction in 2025. We are still in the early stages of the AI journey. BNB Chain hopes to work with AI developers and users to review strategies and the future with a revolutionary attitude based on the AI First concept, build a new vision, and create unlimited possibilities.
