I hope it will be fun to discover protocols before they become hot topics and share them with you all.

In my earlier “Be Early” series of articles, I introduced you to projects such as @TopHat_One , @Duck_Chain , @Cortex_Protocol , and @Infinit_Labs .

These insights come primarily from @getmoni_io ’s Moni Discover tool, an intelligence platform that helps users discover early-stage protocols.

So what’s new on my January watch list? Let’s take a look!

Limitus: A new platform integrating Web2, Web3 and AI

The hype has faded, which new AI projects are worth studying in advance?

@LimitusIntel is a decentralized AI-driven platform that focuses on integrating Web2, Web3, and AI systems into a unified ecosystem. It solves the current system fragmentation problem by enabling seamless collaboration between centralized Web2 applications, decentralized Web3 networks, and AI processes.

Limitus operates on three core levels:

  1. Computational layer : Uses advanced language models and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technology to process and integrate Web2 and Web3 data in real time.

  2. Orchestration layer : connects APIs, wallets, and networks into a unified framework to automate cross-system workflows.

  3. Execution layer : All tasks are completed locally, ensuring user privacy while giving users full control over their devices and data.

Core application scenarios include:

  • Automated cross-chain DeFi strategies

  • Quick summary of token data

  • Efficient management of multi-chain wallets

  • Optimize your daily workflow

Through these features, Limitus provides an efficient and automated way of task management, which is applicable to multiple fields such as trading and improving work efficiency.

Limitus provides a practical solution that deeply combines decentralized systems with AI to simplify complex workflows and improve efficiency.

Currently, Limitus’ Token is online, and interested users can register to participate in its early beta version .

Soulgraph: Making AI agents more realistic

The hype has faded, which new AI projects are worth studying in advance?

@soulgra_ph is an intelligent agent infrastructure platform dedicated to making AI agents more real and human-like by giving them rich personalities, memory capabilities, and natural communication methods. The platform provides developers with the following core tools:

  1. Soulscript : A set of open source specifications for defining the personality of an intelligent agent, enabling it to be consistent across platforms and to think, react, and grow based on user interactions.

  2. Soulgraph Memory : The agent’s persistent memory function allows it to remember conversations and continue learning, thereby establishing unique and personalized long-term connections with users.

  3. Soulgraph Presence : Real-time communications infrastructure, including voice calling capabilities and, soon, responsive avatars, making interactions more natural and engaging.

By standardizing the behavior, memory, and expression of intelligent agents, Soulgraph helps developers create reusable personality frameworks, transforming AI agents from simple tools into memorable virtual companions, promoting more realistic emotional connections and wider application adoption.
