AI Agent: ai16z valued at over 480 million RMB, collaborates with Ryze Labs to co-launch a 5 million RMB startup project.

AI-driven meme coin DAO venture ai16z has recently gained attention not only from Silicon Valley venture capital firm a16z's CTO, leading to a surge in the price of ai16z tokens, but also announced a partnership with Ryze Labs to launch the "AICombinator Program," establishing a $5 million fund to support new startup projects at the intersection of AI and blockchain. The integration of AI and cryptographic technology is expected to become a future trend.

Self-proclaimed a16z CTO Contact Ignites ai16z, Valuation Breaks 480 Million

The meme project ai16z claims that a16z's Chief Technology Officer Eddy Lazzarin recently replied to ai16z's founder Shaw on Twitter, causing ai16z to skyrocket in token market price.

Attention: Investigation data shows that Eddy Lazzarin did not make the mentioned reply.

The meme project ai16z claims that ai16z founder Shaw sought contact with a16z on Twitter, and a16z's own CTO Lazzarin quickly responded to Shaw, saying "Check your DMs," implying a potential collaboration. This claim directly propelled the ai16z token price to surge over 50%, breaking a valuation of 480 million USD.

"AICombinator Project" Launches, Empowering Next-Gen Developers

In addition to the market frenzy around the ai16z token, ai16z also partnered with Web3 venture capital firm Ryze Labs to launch the "AICombinator Project," providing 5 million USD in funding to support new AI and blockchain intersection projects, allowing participants to be the first to utilize ai16z's AI core tool, Eliza.

The AI tool Eliza can be used to develop "interactive" AI characters that can connect with community platforms such as Discord and Twitter, currently frequently applied in developing AI agents in the cryptocurrency field. Eliza plans to expand into applications such as trading and asset management in the future, driving growth across the ecosystem.

AI Combined with Cryptographic Technology, Poised to Disrupt Traditional Financial Models

Former a16z founder Marc Andreessen also expressed in an interview a strong belief in AI becoming the core of online creativity and knowledge exchange, using an example of an AI robot, Truth Terminal, from New Zealand, to showcase the potential of AI for autonomous decision-making. Truth Terminal was able to crowdfund successfully and ultimately raised 50,000 USD in Bitcoin with Andreessen.

Ryze Labs co-founder Matthew Graham stated that the combination of AI agents with cryptocurrency technology represents the most significant technical transformation since the DeFi boom in 2020. Ryze Labs' Joven Wu added that ai16z founder Shaw's vision is to enable "everyone to create AI agents" and have these agents learn to adapt to various situations while mastering multiple skills. Wu believes that the integration of AI with cryptographic technology will completely disrupt traditional financial models, and this is just the beginning.
