Nansen’s forecast for 2024 envisions a pivotal moment in technology where artificial intelligence takes center stage in shaping future possibilities. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the complete integration of AI and blockchain, the analytics platform said promising use cases are beginning to surface.
AI agents, with their capability to handle transactions, securely hold assets, and facilitate value exchange on behalf of users, are emerging as key elements. The foresight suggests a future where AI agents evolve into a primary category of users within the blockchain landscape.
The report also highlighted the importance of verification and risk management through cryptography in distinguishing between human and AI interactions within the blockchain. While AI facilitates specific applications in blockchain, cryptographic methods for identification verification play a vital role. Blockchains offer mechanisms to authenticate agents via various methods such as – cryptographic proof via digital signatures, IPFS & Merkle Trees, and zkML (zero-knowledge machine learning).
But certain limitations persist. As such, Nansen analyst stated,
“Some of these cryptographic models will be trained and optimized (off-chain) using AI. If AI cryptographic models become performant enough in the future, will AI be able to manipulate ZK or other proofs?”
Token-Based Incentives
Nansen said that incentivizing AI models through token-based rewards is essential for enabling their autonomous functionality. By offering tokens as incentives, AI agents/models can be rewarded for achieving desired performance.
In the crypto market, tokens associated with AI projects, such as Bittensor (TAO) and Autonolas (OLAS), along with others linked to AI, are likely to continue gaining traction. The performance of AI project tokens, even in bearish market conditions starting from early 2023, indicates significant belief and momentum in the early stages of AI and blockchain. Established tokens like FET and AGIX are prominent in the higher-cap AI coin category.
While the current focus is on expanding the infrastructure of AI, Nansen said there is an anticipated shift towards prioritizing consumer-oriented applications that leverage the existing technological framework. It becomes clear that the challenge extends beyond infrastructure to identifying the intended beneficiaries and end-users of these applications.
