Will the emergence of MyShell make AI Agent popular again on BSC?
Written by: TechFlow
Today’s focus is on MyShell’s token $SHELL.
With the return of CZ and the rise of the BSC chain meme, the $SHELL token IDO conducted on Binance Wallet and Pancakeswap today also attracted a lot of attention and real money investment.
Under the issuance rules of "planning to raise $800,000 worth of BNB and issue 40 million $SHELL tokens, accounting for 4% of the total supply", as of press time, the IDO has exceeded the fundraising by nearly 42 times, which shows the high willingness of the market to participate.
At the same time, discussions on social media have increased rapidly, visibly.
The real reason why everyone is willing to participate is the foreseeable money-making effect.
Based on the calculation that 4% of $SHELL tokens raised $800,000, the total market value of $SHELL tokens in this IDO is only $20 million. According to the calculation of KOL @EnHeng456 , the data shows that the total amount of MyShell's three rounds of public financing has reached 16 million US dollars, so the market value of SHELL in the last round should also be between 150 million and 300 million US dollars.
In other words, theoretically, if you hit it, you earn money.
More importantly, MyShell is not just an AI Meme in the air. Its currently available product platform also has the ability to create new AI Agents and tokenize them.
The rapid rise of Virtuals is still fresh in our memory. With the AI Agent track facing a reshuffle and Binance seemingly interested in supporting the BSC chain ecosystem, will the emergence of MyShell make AI Agent popular again on BSC?
With this expectation, if you just rush in without knowing what MyShell is doing, here is a detailed introduction to MyShell products and functions to help you plan and judge in advance.
Your AI Toolset and Marketplace
There is already a lot of ready-made information about MyShell, but most of them introduce it from the perspective of AI technology and high-sounding narratives, which does not feel intuitive.
If you have been bombarded with messages about DeepSeek recently and have tried to communicate with it, you might as well take a look at what the final interface of MyShell looks like from the perspective of an ordinary user.
Chat page integrated with mainstream AI models
Open the product page of MyShell, and you can clearly feel that one of its main functions is the AI chat dialogue that you are very familiar with.
The good thing is that MyShell has integrated a variety of mainstream AI models, such as GPT, Claude and the recently popular Deepseek.
You can start a conversation by directly entering text in the chat window. Just like other AI pages you have used, there is almost no learning cost, and you don’t feel that this is a Web3 project; but it is worth noting that each conversation requires a certain amount of points.
AI Tools Market
Not only can you chat with the above-mentioned major models, you can also talk with AI Agents created by others in MyShell, and these Agents have their own different functions and scope of use.
For example, if you want to change a photo into the style of the GTA game, you can select one of the GTA Fliter filter tools, upload a picture in the chat window, and the tool will replace your photo with the GTA style with one click.
There are many similar tools, including practical tools in more fields to improve productivity, such as optimizing SEO, studying IELTS, writing articles and modifying codes, etc. You can understand it as a built-in store in GPT.
Official data shows that more than 200,000 AI agents have been deployed on the platform, and the ecosystem is still developing rapidly.
Creation Workshop: Modularly build your own AI Agent
If you want to create an AI Agent yourself, you can also use the creation workshop function of MyShell.
Unlike making an AI Agent for fun, the component library in MyShell is relatively more powerful.
Generally speaking, making an AI Agent must call on various existing large models and functions, and MyShell has integrated more than 100 mainstream open/closed source models; in addition, there are also multiple self-developed open source AI models. In the project's Github, you can see 3 open source models with nearly 20K collections.
In other words, if you want to build a house, then this building block library is obviously more powerful. You can combine the strengths of various companies to modularly build your own AI Agent without reinventing the wheel.
The benefits this feature may bring to ordinary players may not be so intuitive. For light use, you can directly enter the prompt words and specify the tasks in this creative workshop page, and call MyShell's ready-made tool library.
For example, if you want to make an AI Agent that can chat with you, then just call its sound library and GPT model.
AIPP Store: A Competition of AI Application Tokenization
Only when you experience this part can you feel how to play Crypto.
The AIpp store is a core component of the MyShell ecosystem. You can participate in the issuance and trading of AIPPs just like trading tokens, which is somewhat similar to the gameplay of AI Agent on Virtuals before.
The AIpp store also uses the Bonding Curve mechanism to automatically adjust the price of AIPP based on supply and demand.
When users buy AIPP, its supply increases and the price rises along the binding curve; conversely, when users sell AIPP, the supply decreases and the price falls.
For example, if you like a certain AI Agent, you can use BNB to buy its tokens; and the creator of this AI Agent can earn a portion of the transaction fees.
In fact, the purpose of this model is still price discovery, that is, to encourage users to discover valuable applications as early as possible and spread them to others. Early investors can profit from rising prices while becoming nodes for application dissemination and expanding market influence.
So, what is the use of $SHELL tokens?
The total supply of $SHELL tokens is 1,000,000,000. The token economics is briefly as follows:
In terms of usage, $SHELL tokens are closely related to the behaviors of different participants in the entire MyShell platform.
Token Holder
Users holding $SHELL tokens can invest/acquire tokens and participate in governance. Token holders can also receive rewards.
Creator
Creators can earn $SHELL rewards by developing and publishing AI applications (AI Apps). Creators can use $SHELL to purchase data to promote the development of AI models.
User
Users pay $SHELL tokens by subscribing to or using MyShell's AI application services. Users can also receive $SHELL as a reward when they authorize the use of data.
AI Model Contributor
Contributors who provide AI models are rewarded with $SHELL for contributing models. Contributors can also earn additional tokens through data trading.
API Developer
API developers can earn $SHELL rewards by contributing tools or services.
From a more commercial perspective, MyShell can be seen as an AI service platform, and the actual commercial role of the token is reflected in:
Subscription and Membership Fees
Users can pay $SHELL tokens to subscribe to high-quality AI tools or get direct support. This membership model provides users with higher service value while creating a stable demand for tokens.
Advertising
Creators or supporters can spend $SHELL to advertise their AI applications on the MyShell platform to increase the visibility and exposure of the application. This provides creators with marketing tools and encourages the emergence of more high-quality content.
Application Collection and Incentives (Collection)
Users can collect other creators' AI applications by paying $SHELL. During the collection period, users can also receive incentives through $SHELL or other reward mechanisms. This mechanism encourages users to explore and support innovative applications.
Products/Services Compensation
Creator income : Creators can charge consumers $SHELL tokens through the AI applications they develop as a fee for accessing or using services.
Data transactions : MyShell platform may purchase data directly from users and pay $SHELL as compensation to further enrich the platform's data resources.
Platform Fees
MyShell platform will charge a certain percentage of $SHELL as service fee for all the above activities. These fees will be used for the maintenance and further development of the platform.
At present, there are no particularly outstanding AI Agent projects on MyShell. After the token TGE, whether there will be more practical or attention-grabbing AI Agents or Memes in the ecosystem may become an important factor in driving the price change of the local currency.
