0G: A highly efficient, secure, and programmable Data Availability (DA) layer optimized for on-chain AI, aiming to revolutionize blockchain scalability while maintaining decentralization and security performance;
FLock.io: An on-chain AI co-creation platform; and
0xscope: An internet protocol that leverages on-chain data and blockchain industry data to generate data analytics for generating Web3 entities, a knowledge graph with Web3 recommendation algorithms and a Web3 data layer for decentralized applications.

The report highlights the unprecedented growth of the AI space, underscored by a 581%* year-on-year (YoY) increase in AI computing company Nvidia's net profit in 2023, as a testament to the industry's potential. In addition, the report provides a detailed overview of the potential of crypto and AI, outlining the vast application scenarios of crypto for AI. This includes the assetization of crucial components such as:

AI Agents: For example, MyShell is an open ecosystem that enables users to train personalized AI agents using game clips.
- OKX has identified three primary directions for the future development of AI agents:
  - The intelligentization and agentization of assets: This will expand their use cases and value by empowering them to operate and interact autonomously.
  - Fostering interoperability among agents: This will elevate the overall performance of the ecosystem by establishing standards and frameworks that enable smooth interaction and collaboration among diverse AI agents.
  - Build a brand new agent economy system merging AI and blockchain technology: This is aimed at unlocking a novel economic model where AI agents play pivotal roles in content creation, financial services and other domains.
Decentralized algorithms: An example is io.net, which reduces resource costs and ensures economic efficiency through token incentives and hardware aggregation.
Data: An example is 0xScope, an internet protocol that leverages on-chain data and blockchain industry data to generate data analytics for generating Web3 entities, a knowledge graph with Web3 recommendation algorithms and a Web3 data layer for decentralized applications.
