If you’re outside the bubble, “AI infra in Web3” can sound like one big buzzword salad. Here’s the clear, no-jargon breakdown of 4 AI infra projects you’ll keep hearing about, what they do, who they serve, and why they matter: 1. @TheoriqAI: AI agents that team up for DeFi work What it is: A system where AI “workers” join forces to handle complex DeFi jobs. How it works: Each agent has a skill (trading, risk checks, yield hunting). They form “swarms” to tackle bigger tasks together, with all actions recorded on-chain for trust. Who it’s for: DeFi apps, investors, and developers who want to automate strategies. What’s special: Agents can self-organize, share data, and earn a reputation for good work. 2. @Almanak__: AI swarm for pro-level DeFi strategies What it is: A group of 18 AI specialists who design, test, and run trading/yield strategies. How it works: They handle everything from backtesting to real-time adjustments, running in safe, non-custodial accounts. Private alpha stays protected with secure hardware. Who it’s for: Professional traders, asset managers, quants. What’s special: No-code tools, privacy tech, live monitoring, rewards for top strategies. 3. @SentientAGI: Community-owned “Loyal AI” What it is: A non-profit foundation building AI that is owned, shaped, and governed by its community. How it works: Models, data, and governance are open-source and transparent. Anyone can contribute, improve, and launch “Loyal Models” that align with the community’s values. Who it’s for: Builders, researchers, and communities who want AI that works for people, not corporations. What’s special: No corporate control, open governance, incentives for contributors, and a mission to make AGI serve humanity. 4. @Infinit_Labs: One-click DeFi strategy execution What it is: An AI-powered platform that turns complex, multi-step DeFi strategies into single-click actions. How it works: You can build or use ready-made strategies (like delta-neutral positions, leveraged yield loops, or basis trades) across multiple protocols and chains, without leaving your wallet or touching multiple interfaces. Who it’s for: DeFi users, strategy creators, KOLs, and newcomers who want to run pro-level strategies without manual complexity. What’s special: Natural language strategy creation, social strategy integration (execute a strategy straight from a tweet or post), cross-chain execution, and rewards for creators whose strategies perform well.
