Team members from Coinbase, Google, ai16z, and other major players have joined forces to launch Aiccelerate, a new decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) designed to accelerate the convergence of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence (AI). The Jan. 9 announcement revealed that the DAO will focus on promoting decentralized, open-source AI development and supporting high-potential projects in different ecosystems. In addition, Aiccelerate positions itself as a DAO that focuses on both investment and development. Its main mission is to promote innovation in the field of what it calls "agent AI." The DAO aims to build a collaborative community of top developers in multiple frameworks. These experts will contribute to a range of agents and tools designed to advance the organization's goals.
In addition, Aiccelerate will unify its initiatives through a token called AICC. The DAO will use part of its profits to buy back its native tokens. The list of development advisors includes ai16z founder Shaw, Virtuals Protocol core contributor EtherMage, EigenLayer developer relations director Nader Dabit, and Story Protocol co-founder Jason Zhao. On the investment side, Aiccelerate's advisors include Andrew Kang and Marc Weinstein of Mechanism Capital, Justin Lee of Coinbase Ventures, and Anil Lulla of Delphi Digital. (Cryptoslate)
