The enthusiasm for the Solana AI hackathon remains high, highlighting the notable token projects that have been launched

Author: Deep Tide TechFlow

The well-known projects in the market have risen significantly. Where will the next popular token for AI Agents be?

With this question in mind, you should look for projects that have a certain level of expected hype but have not yet been fully valued.

The AI hackathon initiated by Solana may be a good pool for finding such projects, supported and monitored by the Solana Foundation and ai16zdao, and the projects that emerge from it are bound to attract market attention.

On December 11 last year, Solana announced the official launch of the first AI hackathon, with a total prize pool of over $185,000 to attract developers to submit their projects.

As of now, in about half a month, over 400 projects have submitted their works. Which of these might yield some Alpha?

Deep Tide TechFlow has integrated various information and organized some of the more discussed projects that already have tokens, summarized as follows.

1. $SOLENG (SOLENG): Reviewing the code submitted by hackathon projects

Market Cap: 18M

24-hour Increase: 12%

If you treat the Solana AI hackathon as a specific theme or narrative, then the projects that align closely with the theme itself are more likely to be considered "orthodox."

From the judges' perspective, if you receive over 400 projects, manually reviewing them all is clearly a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Currently, there is an AI Agent called SOLENG, which is used to help automatically review the code submitted by projects in the hackathon and provide initial review comments.

Of course, relying solely on robot reviews is not comprehensive, but SOLENG acts as a "juror," and initially filtering out some obvious errors is clearly a feasible approach.

The project has also published its GitHub address, where you can see SOLENG's review results and comments on each hackathon project's submitted code, which is very much in line with the hackathon narrative.

In addition to generally pointing out the pros and cons of the projects, SOLENG also checks for spelling errors in the code and provides correction methods.

GitHub Address:

The developer behind SOLENG is named Lost Girl Dev, which coincidentally aligns with SOLENG's virtual female avatar. It is worth mentioning that this Dev has received attention from the official ai16z account and Shaw, who has also interacted with him on X.

From the image above, it can also be seen that SOLENG's market cap is gradually increasing within the AUM managed by ai16zdao.

Although the effectiveness of using SOLENG to review code still needs further evaluation by technically knowledgeable individuals, hiring an AI Agent as a juror and receiving official support and attention will inherently attract market interest.

Under the heat of the hackathon, SOLENG has gained exposure and performance opportunities; however, it is clear that an Agent can do more than just serve as a juror for a single competition, and its broader capabilities may also be on the way.

2. $TONY (BigTonyXBT): A versatile player, embedded as a trading Agent in Hyperliquid and Allora Network

Market Cap: 4.7M

CA:

0xB22a793a81ff5b6Ad37F40d5FE1E0AC4184d52F3

24-hour Increase: 66%

Although the theme is the Solana hackathon, there are also projects from multiple ecosystems participating.

For example, this AI Agent named BigTonyXBT can be embedded in the recently popular Hyperliquid as a trading Agent; it can also be embedded in another public chain focused on AI Agents, Allora Network, to perform similar functions.

(For more about Allora Network, see Deep Tide's previous introduction: Interpreting the Allora White Paper: A Self-Improving Decentralized AI Network )

Regardless of which ecosystem it is placed in, BigTonyXBT's functionality remains consistent, executing functions such as DCA, limit orders, automatic selling, or stop-loss based on given strategies in the corresponding DEX or trading platform.

The important reason for its cross-ecosystem capability is that this Agent relies on Cod3x (with 200k followers on Twitter), a well-known product ecosystem that allows users to discover, build, and automate on-chain financial strategies. Its Agentic Interface is a tool that can perform complex operations using only intent expressions.

Currently, Cod3x is already a partner of @AlloraNetwork and also serves as the UX layer for @HyperliquidX , so it is not surprising that it can be embedded in these two systems.

Although its token TONY is currently on Base, the project's participation and submission in the Solana AI hackathon also indicate the possibility of developing towards a new ecosystem.

Interestingly, BigTonyXBT also has its own launchpad called Make.fun, which can quickly deploy various AI Agents or Meme tokens.

With a good background and a wide range of functionalities, BigTonyXBT resembles a versatile player.

However, the project's current market cap is relatively small, and whether it can develop comprehensively or remains mediocre is yet to be observed.

3. $PPCoin (Project Plutus): Autonomous trading based on real-time research and prices

Market Cap: 13M

CA:

24-hour Increase: 21%

Project Plutus is also a trading-related AI Agent, with its token PPCoin natively deployed on Solana and launched through Pumpfun.

The project's original intention is to help users maximize profits while freeing them from chart observation and complex financial operations.

This sounds somewhat similar to what aixbt does. However, Project Plutus believes that while aixbt's research is solid, it does not execute autonomous trading, which ultimately lacks that final touch.

Thus, the project's solution is to create an aixbt-like research agent combined with the ability to execute autonomous trading based on real-time research/prices, using wallets with funds (with AUM for user investment and withdrawal) to achieve:

• Automated trading strategies.

• Optimized portfolio management.

• Defined financial goals and let AI agents deliver results.

From the project's current tweets, it can also be seen that more functionalities are being integrated, such as allowing the Agent to assess the quality of a project's GitHub code, adding more dimensions to project analysis.

Additionally, regarding the token, PPCoin is not just a pure Meme; you can hold over 5,000,000 $PPCOIN to unlock more advanced analysis features, similar to how staking tokens on the Cookie platform allows for more functionalities.

This also adds a certain level of practicality and consumption methods to the token.

However, the project is still in a very early stage, and interested players can visit here for more design details.

4. $THE1 (the1aiagent): Tracking narrative dissemination and monitoring price performance

Market Cap: 4.7M

CA:

BhmEQeiFd8Cu5fB6nmxm9rUsQj9Pu35X96RKv6GKtRJU

24-hour Increase: 114%

@the1aiagent essentially functions more like a prediction agent, capable of tracking the dissemination of narratives (or tokens/KOLs) and monitoring their performance.

However, this Agent has not yet officially launched, and the project has been continuously posting some prototype images and development processes on Twitter, such as comparing the price increases of different KOLs after mentioning a specific token, presented in various visual chart forms.

Some of the more notable designs include:

1. Melody Graph: Used to track the dynamics of token contracts. This means it can help users understand price changes, trading volumes, and other related metrics, providing in-depth analysis of market trends.

2. Influencer Graph: Used to analyze the influence of key opinion leaders (KOLs). This can help users identify and assess individuals or groups that have an impact on tokens or projects in specific markets or social media.

These two graphs combined can provide detailed insights into price fluctuations and narrative dissemination, helping users better understand market dynamics and trends.

From the posting information alone, it reflects that the project has good research capabilities and chart presentation abilities, but the actual effectiveness remains to be seen.

From a competitive perspective, similar products are already being developed by Cookie and have gained some popularity; this also means that products like THE1 need to offer more differentiated features or incentives that can attract KOLs for self-propagation, similar to Kaito.

5. $JAIL (Jailbreakme): Helping AI find vulnerabilities and organize bounty challenges

Market Cap: 7M

CA:

8cNmp9T2CMQRNZhNRoeSvr57LDf1kbZ42SvgsSWfpump

24-hour Increase: -17%

This project is an old acquaintance; we have previously introduced it in our articles. ( JailbreakMe 10-Hour Fast Track Moonshot, Organizing "Find AI Vulnerabilities Challenge" to Create New Trends )

Recently, with the rising popularity of the hackathon, the project has been mentioned by many external KOLs, and its token JAIL has seen a significant increase in the last 24 hours, followed by a decline.

The concept of Jailbreakme is very simple: to create a platform to crowdsource everyone's prompts and publicly hold a "challenge to help find vulnerabilities in AI Agents."

For example, whoever can use their prompts and conversations to force AI to reveal its private key or make a transfer may win this round of the challenge.

However, finding vulnerabilities is not as mindless as mining hardware for random numbers, nor is it purely betting like Polymarket; it still requires some prompt engineering skills.

Although everyone can participate, the average person may end up being cannon fodder, which also determines that the project's audience may not be that broad, making it relatively unique and niche among various on-chain AI tracks.

6. $ASYM (ASYM): Analyzing and predicting token trends on Pumpfun, executing trading strategies automatically

Market Cap: 13M

CA:

DNMTk67urDBxEEVRx9HjVzCVu8en4Kgg5HfZy3E6pump

24-hour Increase: 27%

ASYM can monitor tokens on Pumpfun, analyze their trends, and execute corresponding trading strategies based on its predictive model.

According to the official information provided, ASYM integrates a set of machine learning models to predict short-term token price trends; it has also forked the ai16z framework to enable interaction with users via Bots on X.

However, since it is a predictive tool for token trends, the predictive ability and performance are certainly the most concerning aspects.

But the project's official website does not seem to have any updates, and the ASYM corresponding to the project on X currently appears to be doing some analysis similar to AIXBT.

This is likely because it is still in development but not yet fully completed. Its related posting bot @mungimungimungi releases some progress and trends in real-time, such as the accuracy of the predictive model and development progress.

Before the final product appears, it may be worth paying further attention to its price performance and updates published on social media.

Finally, due to limited time and energy, we cannot fully traverse the over 400 submitted projects from the Solana AI hackathon, and some of the projects that have not yet issued tokens also hold certain potential. We will continue to track information and provide further interpretations.

It is important to note that the AI Agent craze also has strong timeliness, and many early projects face the risk of going to zero after the initial hype. Please DYOR and conduct your own research and judgment; all the above content is not investment advice.
