Artificial intelligence in crypto is no longer just a narrative. Recent data from Messari shows that agent-based AI frameworks are outperforming other AI sectors, gaining over 86% in the past 90 days. The market is starting to shift its focus toward intelligent, autonomous agents that can act and adapt on-chain.

Below are three AI projects currently building the infrastructure for this evolution.

Virtual Protocol (VIRTUAL)

• Launched in late 2024, already generating $8.3 million in protocol revenue
  
  Hosts modular AI agents like IRIS (smart contract auditor) and TIBBIR (viral meme agent)
  
  Integrated with Ethereum and Base, holding $140 million+ in liquidity
  
  Technicals: Holding 200-day EMA at $1.39. If flipped, $2.80–$3.00 becomes viable
  
  Strong fundamentals and active on-chain traction

Render Network (RNDR)

• Provides GPU infrastructure for real-time AI rendering and avatars
  
  Migrated to Solana for faster and cheaper rendering
  
  Powers AI livestream commerce use cases (e.g. $7.6M in one avatar-hosted stream)
  
  Technicals: Support around $4.00–$4.20. Resistance at $5.80; upside potential $7.50–$8.80
  
  Momentum indicators turning positive (MACD and RSI)

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI)

• Formed via the merger of Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and Ocean Protocol
  
  Released ASI‑1 Mini, a lightweight Web3-native language model
  
  Backed by a $50 million token buyback from the Fetch.ai Foundation
  
  Currently reclaiming the 50-day EMA near $0.69; next resistance $0.73, upside target $1.00
  
  Bullish crossover signs building gradually

These projects aren’t just part of the AI trend—they’re helping define the core agent economy infrastructure that may shape the next generation of blockchain applications.
