PANews reported on January 10 that according to Cryptoslate, team members from Coinbase, Google, ai16z and other major players have teamed up to launch Aiccelerate, a new decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) designed to accelerate the integration of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence (AI). The announcement on January 9 showed that the DAO will focus on promoting decentralized, open-source AI development and supporting high-potential projects in different ecosystems. In addition, Aiccelerate positions itself as a DAO that focuses on both investment and development. Its main mission is to promote innovation in the field of what it calls "agent AI." The DAO aims to build a collaborative community of top developers in multiple frameworks. These experts will contribute to a range of agents and tools designed to advance the organization's goals.
In addition, Aiccelerate will unify its various initiatives through a token called AICC. The DAO will use part of the profits to buy back its native tokens. The list of development advisors includes ai16z founder Shaw, Virtuals Protocol core contributor EtherMage, EigenLayer developer relations director Nader Dabit, and Story Protocol co-founder Jason Zhao. In terms of investment, Aiccelerate's advisors include Andrew Kang and Marc Weinstein of Mechanism Capital, Justin Lee of Coinbase Ventures, and Anil Lulla of Delphi Digital.
