Salaam everyone,
‎
‎I’ve been watching some popular AI-based crypto projects like $FET (Fetch.ai), $AGIX (SingularityNET), and $OCEAN (Ocean Protocol). These have been gaining a lot of attention, especially after AI went mainstream globally in 2024.
‎
‎The idea of combining blockchain with AI sounds promising with things like:
‎
‎• Decentralized machine learning 
‎• AI marketplaces (for models, data, or services) 
‎• Permissionless access to AI APIs 
‎• Autonomous agents operating on-chain
‎
‎But I still have a few open questions in my mind:
‎
‎1. Are these projects truly using advanced AI, or just riding the hype with vague technical terms?
‎
‎2. How can we, as regular investors or users, verify if there’s real development or utility behind the token?
‎
‎3. Are there any working products solving real-world problems — not just whitepapers or testnets?
‎
‎I know that Ocean Protocol has built a marketplace for data sharing, and SingularityNET claims to offer an AI service marketplace using their AGIX token. Fetch.ai is working on autonomous economic agents, but I’m not sure how much of it is being used actively.
‎
‎We’ve all seen trends come and go — metaverse tokens, DeFi waves, NFTs, meme coins. Some projects created lasting value, most didn’t. So now I'm wondering: is this AI + Crypto trend a real future opportunity, or just another narrative play?
‎
‎Would love to hear from anyone who’s studied these projects or participated in.
