One Billion AI Agents | ai16z's Shaw
What is the role of AI in crypto, and how will it shape the future? AI agents are taking the crypto world by storm, introducing unprecedented scale and efficiency to Web3. At the center of this revolution is Shaw, the creator of the Eliza framework and ai16z DAO, a groundbreaking initiative that’s reshaping decentralized investments. The ai16z DAO has rapidly gained traction, becoming the #1 trending GitHub repository last month, with over 3,300 stars and 880+ forks. In this episode, we explore how Shaw and his team are leading a community-driven, open-source movement to integrate AI and crypto. From managing DAOs to bridging Web3 with real-world applications, we dive into how the Eliza framework is setting the groundwork for a potential AGI future. This is more than just an AI experiment—it’s the beginning of a new paradigm for both industries. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 🦄UNISWAP | BUG BOUNTY PROGRAM https://bankless.cc/Uniswap-Bug-Bounty 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🐧CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS https://bankless.cc/CartesiSimple 📈iYield: YOUR FINANCIAL PICTURE, SIMPLIFIED https://bankless.cc/iYield 🔒SAFE | INTRODUCING SAFE NET https://bankless.cc/SAFE ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/111?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 8:05 Who is Shaw & Eliza Framework 18:57 Goals of ai16z & Marc AIndreessen 25:47 AI Agent North Star 31:20 AI-Powered Contributors & Fixing DAOs 38:49 Degenspartanai vs. Marc AIndreessen 52:02 What is ai16z? 56:51 DAO Governance 1:00:34 Eliza Framework Story & Success 1:03:55 Advice to New AI Agent Builders 1:06:29 Other Top AI Agents 1:08:02 Agent Swarming & World Mind Explained 1:17:14 How & Where to Learn More 1:18:36 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Shaw https://x.com/shawmakesmagic David Hoffman https://x.com/TrustlessState Ejaaz Ahamadeen https://x.com/cryptopunk7213 ai16z dao https://www.daos.fun/HeLp6NuQkmYB4pYWo2zYs22mESHXPQYzXbB8n4V98jwC ai16z Github https://github.com/ai16z degenspartanai https://x.com/degenspartanai Marc AIndreessen https://x.com/pmairca ------ Not financial or tax advice.
