Blog Series: Web3 x AI Ecosystems

Emerging Companies Shaping the Intersection of Web3 x AI

-– Abdul Al Ali, Venture Investor and Eugene Tsai, Venture Data Analyst at Decasonic 

Web3 x AI is emerging as a new category in Web3. The overall market went through four main phases of “evolution,” prior to reaching its current state. The first emergence was the decentralized marketplaces (data and compute), dominated by Akash and Ocean Protocol. The second phase was kicked off by Bittensor ($TAO), with decentralized compute, data, and model layers. Phase 3 led with strength in Q3 and Q4 of 2024, primarily with AI Agent launchpads (re: Virtuals). We are currently in the fourth phase of Web3 x AI, where key market category leaders are set to emerge.

Six Takeaways from TOKEN2049 Dubai

My conversations with founders, builders, and policymakers circled a single theme, relentless execution speed enabled by a forward-thinking regulatory framework for emerging technologies (Web3 and AI). Further, one additional signal stood out: the surge in AI x Web3 projects and companies, and the accelerating pace at which teams are integrating AI into their roadmaps. Increasingly, AI-first is now a baseline expectation.
