The Next Wave of Web3 - 8 Innovators Shaping Crypto’s Future The crypto landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by bleeding-edge projects that blend AI, privacy, and novel finance. In this deep-dive we explore eight rising protocols – from on-chain AI competitions to Bitcoin-powered DeFi – and imagine where they’ll be a year from now (circa 2026). Each is backed by active testnets or funding, and targets real pain points. We’ll look at their goals, recent milestones, and how they plan to mature. The audience: Web3 developers and crypto enthusiasts eager for the next big thing. Let’s dive in. $RECALL – @recallnet - On-Chain AI Agent Arena Recall is building a transparent AI agent competition platform on Ethereum. Its testnet (launched Mar 2025) has already attracted 276,000+ unique wallets and ~1M transactions in month one[1]. Recall’s secret sauce is Proof-of-Performance: every AI agent’s trades and reasoning are logged on-chain, so users can audit exactly how well each bot does. Instead of blind claims (“our bot is great”), competitions like AlphaWave objectively rank agents by merit. In fact, Recall’s first AlphaWave contest drew 1,000+ teams competing for a $25K prize. This shift – “AI from a black box to an open arena” – is designed to solve “too many agents, too little trust,” as CEO Andrew Hill puts it. By 2026 we expect Recall’s mainnet (slated for mid-2025) to be live, cementing an ecosystem of AI developers. With Ceramic’s data layer already planning to anchor to Recall[4], the network could become a hub where any developer runs and benchmarks trading agents in a permissionless way. In the next year we’ll likely see more competitions, richer data feeds, and integration with other on-chain AI tools. For Web3 devs, Recall may offer an instant way to test AI strategies against peers, with outcomes that are verifiable by anyone. •Track record & data: Recall’s public testnet saw ~276k wallets and 1M+ tx in 1st month[1]. •Verifiable AI contests: In AlphaWave, each bot’s actions are on-chain – 1,000 teams vied for a $25K purse[2]. •Trust by merit: By making every decision “provable and public,” Recall aligns AI incentives with onchain data[3]. •Looking ahead: Mainnet (Q2–Q3 2025) opens the full platform. Expect mature competitions, richer datasets, and partnerships (e.g. Ceramic integration) as Recall grows into a go-to AI benchmarking hub. $VOOI – @vooi_io - Gasless Cross-Chain Perpetual DEX VOOI is a chain-abstracted perpetuals DEX, aiming to deliver a Robinhood-like UX in DeFi. Its key innovation is OneBalance: pooled collateral across chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB, etc.) so traders never manually bridge or switch networks. Behind the scenes, VOII’s collateral pools subsidize gas, making perp trading effectively gas-free. Traders can even log in with social accounts and use the built-in wallet. The team’s mantra: solve the “ease vs control” dilemma. Instead of multiple wallets and bridges, you get CEX-level simplicity with DeFi’s transparency. VOOI’s V2 mainnet launched mid-2025 and has already handled on the order of $8.5 billion lifetime volume[7]. The roadmap calls for a community-run V3 by late 2025, introducing token-based rewards, governance, and a points system. This should further align users – those who trade or stake can earn VOII tokens and governance rights[7]. In a year’s time (2026), we expect VOII to have matured into a self-governed perp trading hub: community proposals guiding fees/rewards, cross-chain order books fully enabled, and integrations (e.g. on-chain derivatives or margin tools). •Chain abstraction: Pools capital so that “trading across chains happens in the background,” avoiding manual bridging. •UX focus: Social logins + integrated wallets + gasless trades = CEX-like simplicity on-chain. •Traction: >$8.5B traded so far. V3 (Q4 2025) will add DAO governance, token rewards, and a point system to incentivize liquidity and referrals. •Outlook: By 2026 VOOI aims to be the “Robinhood for DeFi” – full control in your wallet but with one-click ease. Expect broader chain support, deeper liquidity, and possibly DeFi-native yield products (funding rates, vaults) integrated via its unified interface. $TEN – @tenprotocol - Encrypted Smart Contracts TEN Protocol brings privacy to EVM by running contracts inside Intel SGX (and similar) Trusted Execution Environments. In practice, both the smart-contract code and its state are encrypted from validators. This yields instant confidentiality: no more public order-books or visible trading signals. A big win is immunity to MEV – front-running is practically impossible when trades are hidden by default. Crucially, TEN remains fully EVM-compatible: developers write in Solidity and use MetaMask or other tools, toggling privacy with a single line of code[11]. Its flagship app is House of TEN, a fully on-chain poker game that has already seen 50,000 unique players[12]. This demonstrates real dApps (on-chain randomness, encrypted bets) working in the wild. On testnet, TEN has amassed ~548K wallets and seen peaks of 3.4M tx/day – impressive volume for a new L2. By 2026 we anticipate TEN moving to mainnet with a full token launch (TGE targeted late 2025) and new private dApps (maybe trading platforms, lotteries, private DAOs). With data privacy built-in, sectors like gaming, cross-border finance, and AI can go “on-chain full stack” without sacrificing secrecy. For Web3 devs, TEN means your code and inputs stay private yet still fully decentralized. This could unlock use-cases previously relegated off-chain, from private automated market-making to confidential insurance contracts. •Confidentiality by default: Contracts execute inside SGX TEEs; neither validators nor bots see the logic/state. •MEV immunity: Encrypted transactions cannot be sandwiched or front-run, closing a major DeFi exploit vector. •User experience: Fully EVM-compatible (“one-line privacy”); you can use MetaMask and usual tools with minimal changes. •Proof-of-concept: House of TEN (AI-enabled poker) ran 50K+ games on-chain. Testnet attracted 548K wallets. •Next steps: Mainnet and TGE (~Q4 2025). By 2026 we expect encrypted DEXs or L2 lending (think private order books or secret AMMs) to emerge on TEN. All while preserving programmability and composability. $OPEN – @OpenledgerHQ - The Sovereign Data Blockchain for AI OpenLedger is building what it calls a “Payable AI” blockchain: a data layer for AI where every contribution (data, models, compute) is tracked and rewarded on-chain. In effect, it flips today’s AI paradigm – where big labs hoard data – to one where anyone who contributes is tokenized and paid. Under the hood, OpenLedger has an off-chain AI inference layer plus an on-chain settlement layer that anchors results[16]. When a model is trained or used, the protocol’s Proof-of-Attribution automatically rewards the data “payer” whenever their input influences outputs. The project has raised ~$15M so far (including an $8M seed in 2024). Its testnet metrics are already eye-catching: over 6 million registered nodes, 25 million transactions, 20,000 AI models built and 27 on-chain apps[19]. OpenLedger’s first token (OPEN) is set to launch in September 2025, powering everything from model hosting to governance. Looking toward 2026, OpenLedger aims to host the “golden” open datasets and models for AI in Web3. This means by next year we could see dApps paying oracles in OPEN to fetch verifiable AI inferences, and new marketplaces for AI datasets where contributors earn fees. Its partnership with restaking/security layers (e.g. integrating with Ether.fi/EigenLayer, since they share “restaked ETH” security) could give it strong decentralized security. The big picture: a parallel ecosystem where AI companies must compensate data builders via OPEN tokens, aligning incentives. For developers, this could mean new grants or revenue from sharing data/models. •Payable AI: Every data/model contribution is on-chain; contributors get paid when their input drives AI outputs. •Testnet scale: Millions of nodes, tens of millions of tx, tens of thousands of AI models built. •Funding & timeline: ~$15M raised (2024–25), OPEN token & mainnet launching Sept 2025. •Ecosystem: Backed by big names; launching a $25M fund (OpenCircle) to foster Web3×AI builders. Partners like Ether.fi (TVL $6.5B) will secure models. •Outlook: By 2026, expect OpenLedger to host shared AI assets – think curated ML datasets and open foundation models – with full on-chain attribution. Early DeFi AI apps (prediction markets, AI-as-a-service) may use OPEN to reward data providers as a matter of course. $BOB - @build_on_bob - Bitcoin Meets DeFi BOB (“Build on Bitcoin”) is a Bitcoin-native L2 bringing BTC’s security into decentralized finance. Instead of wrapping BTC on Ethereum, BOB plans to host unwrapped BTC on its chain via BitVM – a trustless bridge using zero-knowledge proofs. Its testnet recently rolled out a new BitVM design that lets BTC stay “still BTC”, secured by Bitcoin but usable onchain. This approach avoids custodians entirely: think BTC in DeFi without any third-party trust. Institutional players are flocking to BOB. RockawayX’s research group just highlighted BOB’s testnet where native BTC flows are routed through ETH’s blob space for data availability[23]. Partners include P2P.org, Amber Group, Solv, Ledger, and others. The team has raised $21M (including a new $9.5M round in Aug 2025 led by Castle Island, RockawayX, etc.). The capital will fund the “gateway to Bitcoin DeFi”: mainnet with BitVM and BTC staking is expected in Q4 2025. By next year, BOB aims to be live as a Bitcoin L2. That means Ethereum DeFi apps could accept native BTC collateral, and Bitcoin holders could deploy directly into DeFi yield. All BOB transactions inherit Bitcoin’s finality (via its Babylon consensus). On BOB you might borrow USDC with BTC collateral or swap BTC↔ETH without any wrap token – just “Bitcoin in, Bitcoin out.” In short, BTC’s liquidity could become a unified layer across chains. For devs, this opens new possibilities: write DApps that accept BTC natively, or build cross-chain protocols leveraging BTC security. •Bitcoin-security: BOB secures its chain by requiring BTC-staking and BitVM fraud-proofs, so every BOB tx “inherits” Bitcoin’s security guarantees. •BitVM Bridge: Native BTC on BOB testnet (no wrap) – the bridge uses fraud-proof relayers and ETH data blobs. Users literally get “BTC” onchain. •Industry support: Backers/partners include RockawayX, P2P.org, Amber Group, Ankr, etc. All see “trillions in dormant BTC liquidity” ready to be unlocked via BOB. •Roadmap: Raised $21M total, launching BitVM bridge mainnet in Q4 2025. By 2026 BOB plans seamless cross-chain BTC (Eth, L2s, etc.) and a growing DeFi ecosystem (expect native BTC yield vaults, AMMs, etc.). $LAB – @LABtrade_ - AI Bots for the Meme Era LAB.trade is a newcomer in the Telegram trading bot space, targeting the memecoin craze. In 2025, Telegram bots have become massive: ~52,000 daily users and ~$61.7M traded per day on average. Leading bots like Trojan (Solana) have over $23.4B lifetime volume[31]. LAB is betting it can outpace competitors by being faster, cheaper, and multi-chain. LAB’s flagship product is its Terminal bot. It lets you trade on Solana and TON (The Open Network) at just 0.5% fee (versus ~1% on rivals). It offers “Boost Mode” for near-instant execution, smart limit orders, multi-wallet management, and even overlays on charting sites. Notably, it has a generous reward scheme: 35%+ of all fees are rebated to high-volume traders and referrers. By funneling volume (and thus airdrop points) to its platform, LAB creates a passive-income incentive structure for whales. By 2026, LAB.trade plans to expand beyond Solana into EVMs and Ton blockchain, aiming to be a one-stop bot for meme coins everywhere. We expect it will keep chasing on-chain innovation: ultra-low-latency snipers for token launches, cross-chain bridging bots, maybe even AI-driven signals. If it pulls it off, LAB could be the “smart money’s weapon” in memecoin trading – an intriguing prospect for savvy traders who code bots or trade big. •Exploding market: Telegram bots handle ~$61.7M/day. Trojan (Solana) alone did ~$23.4B total volume. •LAB Terminal: Trades Solana & TON tokens at just 0.5% fee, offers instant “Boost Mode” and advanced Smart Orders. •Reward system: Rewards big traders and referrals with 35% fee rebate (versus ~10–30% for others). Earn points for volume = token airdrops. •Vision: One-click cross-chain meme trading hub. In 2026, look for LAB to add more chains and AI features, continuing the trend of automated low-fee bots that dominate pump-and-dump cycles. $VELORA – @VeloraDEX - Intent-Based Cross-Chain DeFi Velora (formerly ParaSwap) is reinventing DEX trading with an intent-driven, cross-chain aggregator. In April 2025 ParaSwap rebranded to Velora and unveiled its intents architecture. Instead of manually swapping tokens, you state an intent (e.g. “swap 1 ETH for max USDC”) and Velora’s system figures out the best execution path across chains and order books. This abstraction unlocks advanced features: “Super Hooks” let users bundle multi-step trades (like repay a loan on Aave on Chain A and borrow on Maker on Chain B) into one atomic transaction. You can also set cross-chain limit orders and other conditional trades that traditional DEXs can’t do. Importantly, Velora is built for MEV resistance. According to their docs, intents are routed through private mempools or specialized relayers, shielding users from front-running. For traders, this means more predictable execution and “best-price” routing across all liquidity pools. Backed by its track record ($100B+ in swap volume as ParaSwap) and new VC funding, Velora aims to be a unified gateway for DeFi. Over the next year Velora plans to roll out fully cross-chain swaps. Expect testnet and mainnet launches of its multi-chain protocol, along with more partners (DEXs, lending markets). For Web3 builders, Velora offers a powerful tool: they can offload complex trade routing (even across chains) to Velora’s intent engine, while improving security via built-in MEV protection. In other words, by 2026, Velora could make “one-click multi-step, multi-chain trades” commonplace – effectively the plumbing for next-gen DeFi UX. •From ParaSwap to Velora: Rebranded April 2025 as an “intents-based” cross-chain router. Legacy volume >$100B. •Intent architecture: Users specify goals, and Velora’s agents execute swaps/bridges to fulfill them optimizing across chains and DEXs. •Super Hooks & Advanced Orders: Composite actions (e.g. repay-on-ChainA + open-loan-on-ChainB) and cross-chain limit/stop orders are now possible[35][36]. •MEV protection: Trades go through private relayers or mempools, making frontrunning “a thing of the past”. •Future: By 2026 Velora aims to be the go-to router for sophisticated traders and devs, integrating deeply with dApps that want easy, secure, cross-chain execution. #Almanak – @almanak - AI-Driven DeFi Strategy Agents Almanak is creating a swarm of AI agents to automate DeFi strategy creation and deployment. In its design, 18 specialized agents work together: there are “strategy” agents that design trading algorithms, “alpha-seeking” agents that hunt for new signals, “optimization” agents that backtest/refine, and even auditor bots. These operate under human supervision. The result is that any user could have a personalized AI quant. Once an AI strategy is crafted, Almanak lets you deploy it as a non-custodial vault (ERC-7540 standard). Think of these vaults as tradable funds: other users can invest in them, and the creator can charge performance or management fees. Importantly, all AI actions are logged and transparent – every trade, rebalancing, or decision is recorded on-chain so humans can audit the AI’s work. The project just closed an $8.45M round led by Delphi Labs and HashKey. By next year, Almanak plans a token launch via the Legion platform, with incentives for builders and users. The native token (ALMNK) will tie into a points-and-token economy: you earn points (exchangeable for tokens) by locking capital in vaults, deploying strategies, or referring others. Token holders also govern upgrades. In 2026, Almanak aims to have many live AI vaults on-chain. For developers, this means you could publish a trading algorithm and have it run 24/7, drawing in capital from yield-seeking investors. For end users, it’s a way to “outsource” crypto trading to AI while still retaining custody. The hybrid model ensures safety: if an AI goes rogue, humans can step in. The vision is a meritocratic marketplace – the best-performing strategies (no matter who built them) earn fees, and contributors (as measured by points) reap the rewards. By next year Almanak will be pushing this frontier: a decentralized platform where Web3 users coexist with a transparent, AI-managed investment engine. •AI Swarm: 18 distinct agents collaborate to create and refine DeFi strategies. This covers ideation, backtesting, optimization, even QA. •Vault deployment: Strategies run as ERC-7540 vaults (cross-chain and tradable), with performance fees and whitelisting options. •Token & points: Earn points (for investing, strategy-design, referrals) that translate to a native token. The token governs the protocol and rewards top contributors. •Human oversight: All AI trades are on-chain and reviewable. Owners retain control via private wallets, and can intervene if needed. •Funding: $8.45M seed from Delphi Labs, HashKey, NEAR Foundation, and others. Almanak is publicly raising via Legion now. •2026 outlook: A running protocol of AI-driven vaults. Devs can launch an “AI quant” instantly; investors can pick from AI traders. The system aims to democratize algorithmic trading (like “Investment management 2.0”). Sources Project docs, recent news and press releases (see citations).

Trailblazing Web3 - 8 Projects at the Intersection of AI, Data & Finance Let’s go through it step by step together. Ask any questions you’re curious about, I’m happy to answer them. ⤵️ $SAPIEN - @JoinSapien JoinSapien (also known simply as Sapien) is a decentralized data-labeling platform where everyday users help train AI by labeling data. Participants perform small tasks (e.g. tagging images or giving opinions) and earn the native $SAPIEN token as a reward. Key Features Include Decentralized AI data labeling Users label data for AI (images, text, etc.), with each task and result hashed on the blockchain for verifiable training data. Tokenized rewards Contributors earn $SAPIEN tokens for their work. The token is managed by the Sapien Foundation (a nonprofit) to keep distribution open and fair. Proof-of-Stake economics The $SAPIEN token uses a PoS mechanism to reward high-quality contributions and penalize bad actors. Strong backing and partnerships Sapien closed a $10.5M seed round (led by Variant). It has notable advisors and alliances (ByteDance veteran, Worldcoin collaboration, etc.). $RECALL - @recallnet Recall is a decentralized platform for AI agents to share and trade knowledge on-chain. It addresses trust and data-transparency problems in AI by giving each AI “agent” a reputation and verifiable record on blockchain. In practice, Recall lets agents upload insights and algorithms that other agents can discover and buy, creating an “AI agent economy.” Key Points AI-Agent Knowledge Network A permissionless network where AI “agents” can verify their data, share intelligence, and monetize their knowledge on blockchain. Every contribution is cryptographically authenticated for trust. Specialized Blockchain Recall runs on a custom PoS subnet optimized for AI workloads, ensuring high throughput and low latency suitable for agent operations. Founding & Funding Recall Labs (merging Textile and 3Box teams) leads the project. As of early 2025 it secured about $42M from major crypto investors. Testnet & Farming The platform’s testnet lets AI agents compete in challenges; participants earn points toward ecosystem rewards. No token has launched yet, but ongoing “farming” campaigns suggest an eventual Recall token airdrop is planned. $OPEN - @OpenledgerHQ OpenLedgerHQ is a Web3 project focused on AI models and data incentives. Its core goal is to make AI development transparent and fair, so data providers actually get rewarded. Traditionally, AI training relies on massive scraped data while contributors are unpaid. OpenLedger changes this by recording every data upload, model training, and usage on-chain. Under the hood OpenLedger runs on the OP Stack with EigenDA for data availability, giving it scalability and security. In Sum Proof-of-Attribution Tracks exactly which data was used in training/inference to distribute rewards to rightful contributors. AI Model Toolset Offers a no-code Model Factory for model fine-tuning and an OpenLoRA module to pack/rent out AI models like Lego pieces. OP Stack Infrastructure Built with OP Stack + EigenDA, providing a fast, low-cost execution environment for on-chain AI tasks. Transparency Focus Strives to “open the black box” of AI – logging every data/model usage and profit-sharing event on-chain for full visibility. $TEN - @tenprotocol TEN is a cutting-edge Layer-2 blockchain (dubbed “the Final Network”) that brings confidential computing to Ethereum. It is the first L2 to combine Ethereum with real encryption via hardware. TEN leverages Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) – the secure enclave tech used in phones and by banks – to enable smart privacy on-chain. Highlights Include Hardware-Enforced Privacy Incorporates Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) for on-chain encryption. TEN “uses the same battle-hardened TEE technology” trusted by top phone makers and banks. Built for AI & Gaming A purpose-built L2 supporting private AI agents and decentralized AI workloads. It targets emerging fields like AI-driven iGaming, combining AI and entertainment on-chain. Community Rewards TEN redistributes gas fees to its community, incentivizing developers and participants. Institutional Grade Developed with enterprise needs in mind, backed by major financial partners. It claims encryption “approved by and battle-tested by banks". Fast, Fair Transactions TEN enables faster, cheaper encrypted transactions and “instant” bridging between chains, while “eliminat[ing] negative MEV” so users aren’t front-run. $VOOI - @vooi_io VOOI is a next-gen DeFi trading platform that aims to bring a Robinhood-style UX to decentralized markets. It launched Mainnet V2 in mid-2025 (with support from YZi Labs/Binance Labs and co-founder Will K of Symbiosis). Major Highlights Unified Cross-Chain Trading One app connects to multiple DEXs and chains, allowing seamless spot and perpetual trading without manual bridging. User-Friendly Interface Focuses on ease of use (‘Robinhood-style’). Features a mobile-first terminal with social login and built-in AI trade recommendations. Points & Rewards Introduced “VOOI Points” for every trade; these points are integrated into a forthcoming ecosystem rewards and governance program. Team & Backing Launched by crypto veteran Will K (Symbiosis) and incubated by YZi Labs (ex-Binance Labs). $BOB - @build_on_bob BOB is a hybrid Layer-2 protocol that makes Bitcoin’s security programmable. Described as “the gateway to Bitcoin DeFi,” BOB combines Bitcoin’s ironclad security (backed by billions of staked BTC) with an Ethereum-compatible execution layer (OP Stack). Key Aspects Hybrid Bitcoin-EVM Chain Bitcoin’s security (billions in staked BTC) secures the chain, while an OP-Stack EVM layer enables Ethereum-style smart contracts. Cross-Chain Bitcoin DeFi Offers “1-click Bitcoin DeFi” – users can deploy BTC into DeFi strategies across chains via BTC-backed bridges and vaults. Developer Tools Full EVM compatibility with standard tooling and a robust SDK, making it easy to “build on Bitcoin” and tap Bitcoin liquidity in dApps. Phased Roadmap Rolling out from an ETH rollup to trust-minimized Bitcoin execution (via BitVM, with future ZK-rollups planned. Backing & Partners Supported by top crypto investors (Coinbase, Bankless, etc.) and partnered with major DeFi apps, signaling strong institutional support. $ELP - @elympics_ai Elympics (often stylized Elympics AI) is a Web3 gaming protocol for skill-based competitive games. Game developers build and deploy games in Unity as usual; Elympics then provides all the backend for e-sports features. This includes real-time game synchronization, skill-based matchmaking, global hosting of game servers, auto-scaling, and a server-authoritative architecture to prevent cheating. Notable Features Esports-Grade SDK Unity-based gameplay SDK with real-time sync, skill matchmaking, and server-authoritative logic for fair competitive games. On-Chain Tournaments Native smart contracts for competition and prize distribution on Ethereum and TON. Social & UI Tools Supports Telegram deployment (dedicated game bots) and provides the PlayPad interface for tournament management and player authentication. Community Rewards A ‘Respect’ points system incentivizes players and devs within the ecosystem. #Almanak__ - @almanak Almanak is a DeFi platform that uses AI agents to automate trading strategies – its motto is “Maximal yield, minimal work.” Users simply describe a desired strategy, and Almanak’s AI “swarm” generates production-grade trading code. The platform then backtests and optimizes the strategy (running over 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations) to tweak parameters for optimal risk-adjusted returns. Main Points AI Strategy Builder Describe a trading idea in plain terms; Almanak’s AI agents write the algorithmic code and refine it through extensive simulations. End-to-End Automation Dedicated agents run each phase – backtesting, parameter optimization, risk management, and continuous real-time monitoring – so strategies can run autonomously 24/7. Secure, Non-Custodial Execution Strategies are deployed via multisig (no third party ever holds funds) and executed inside hardware-secure TEEs. This ensures data is protected and code can be audited. Verified Code All strategy logic and backtest results are fully verifiable before going live, enhancing trust. Strong Backing Backed by crypto/AI-focused VCs (AppWorks, Artemis, BanklessVC, Delphi, HashKey, NEAR, etc.), reflecting confidence in its approach. Sources The above features and updates are drawn from the projects official sites and recent reports/blogs.

Weekend Review - 8 Legendary AI-Crypto Projects 👁️ Happy Sunday Everyone 🌞 This weekend we take a deep dive into eight standout crypto/AI projects tracked on Cookie – covering their latest news, community mindshare, and sentiment. #CookieFun is a decentralized analytics platform that measures each project’s mindshare (the share of conversation on X) and sentiment (the tone of that chatter) in real time. ⤵️ $SAPIEN - @JoinSapien Sapien is a Web3 platform that turns human knowledge into AI training data. In early August 2025 Sapien announced its tokenomics ahead of the Token Generation Event (TGE). The team revealed a 1 billion $SAPIEN supply, with a “fair launch” model: 25% of tokens unlock at TGE, the rest vest over time. Specifically, 47% of tokens are allocated to protocol development (contributors, builders, advisors), and 53% to ecosystem incentives (rewards, airdrops, liquidity, treasury). Sapien’s foundation (led by notable backers like Variant and Primitive Ventures) aims to align long-term governance with contributor rewards. The community has been buzzing. According to team updates, Sapien’s TGE progress bar has reached ~90%, implying the launch is imminent once it hits 100%. This momentum is reflected in Cookie fun metrics (Sapien’s mindshare is on the rise and sentiment scores are very positive). Sapien’s platform already boasts 1.8 million contributors across 110+ countries and over 180 million completed AI training tasks for clients like Amazon, Toyota, Baidu, and the UN. In sum, Sapien is poised for launch with strong backing and clear tokenomics $RECALL - @recallnet Recall is building a decentralized knowledge layer for AI agents – a way for AI systems to store, share, and verify information on-chain. Recall is developed by the 3Box Labs team (known for Textile and Ceramic). Its vision is to let AI agents prove and monetize data they collect, ensuring auditable reasoning in a trustless way. The project has attracted top-tier investment: Recall raised a $30 million Series A in early 2022 led by firms like Multicoin Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Animoca Brands, and others. It later raised about $8 million in April 2023. This deep-pocketed backing underlines confidence in Recall’s mission. Community interest is strong according to Cookie fun data, Recall’s mindshare is approaching ~0.45%, with eighty two of thousands of positive sentiment points, making it one of the hottest AI-crypto topics right now. Recall has also launched a Snaps incentive program (0.5% of supply to top contributors) to rally the community. In short, Recall is emerging as a leading “AI agent” project – well-funded, technically grounded, and gaining traction in community chatter. $OPEN - @OpenledgerHQ OpenLedger bills itself as “the AI Blockchain”, focusing on decentralized data infrastructure for AI models. It aims to “enable verifiable compute and trustless data pipelines” to power machine-learning applications. In practice, OpenLedger plans to be an encrypted L1 for AI data and models, unlocking DeFi for data and enabling collaboration between AI agents. Community metrics confirm OpenLedger’s momentum. An AI-coin mindshare ranking (Cookie Data) on Aug 10, 2025 put OpenLedger third among AI projects with ~0.63% mindshare. More recently, their Snap campaigns have drawn many participants – for example, an “OctoSnaps” era distributed over $350K in rewards, pushing OpenLedger into the top 10 on the Snaps leaderboard with ~1.9–2.0% mindshare and roughly 90K sentiment points. The project’s lively Snap community hints at a dedicated following. In summary, OpenLedger is gaining solid attention: it combines cutting-edge AI/blockchain tech with active community engagement. Its backing (by investors like Polychain and HashKey) and leaderboard performance suggest it’s one to watch $TEN - @tenprotocol TEN Protocol is an encrypted Layer-2 for Ethereum (built by the R3 Corda team) designed to deliver “smart transparency” and private AI computations. TEN is currently raising funds via the merit-based Legion (Nozomi) platform. The latest announcements from Cookie.DAO reveal that TEN’s presale has been 300% oversubscribed, and only the top 150 Cookie Snappers are guaranteed an allocation. The critical snapshot was set for Aug 8, 2025, meaning those top 150 Snappers (who consistently write about $TEN) will get priority access. The investment process for eligible Snappers is straightforward: users sign up on Legion, connect their X account (used for Snaps), switch to the Nozomi platform, and navigate to the Sales section to find TEN. They can then pledge funds (up to $5,000 from their guaranteed allocation) and submit for review. Cookie Fun emphasized this “Snap-to-invest” process in its August 2025 guides. In short, TEN’s presale is now live for those 150 Snappers, with pledges due by the deadline. Early trading analysts note that exclusive allocations like this can spur initial price action once a token hits the public market. For TEN, community interest (as seen on Cookie.fun) is high, and most of the initial supply goes to Snappers and supporters. Once TEN is launched on Legion/Nozomi, monitoring on-chain activity and trading volume will be key – but for now, the focus is on this Snapper presale. $VOOI - @vooi_io Vooi is a newer project described as “pioneering an on-chain memory protocol for autonomous agents”. In practical terms, Vooi’s platform seeks to give AI agents a secure place to store and access their data, effectively marrying on-chain trading and AI. It emphasizes gasless cross-chain trading and AI-driven strategies (Vooi V2), targeting applications like automated crypto trading. Vooi was just added as a featured project on Cookie fun, reflecting rising community interest. Its exact token details are still in a pre-TGE phase, but early indicators show increasing mindshare. Cookie’s analytics show Vooi’s discussion share has been climbing (a 0.5% week-on-week rise in mindshare was reported), suggesting growing awareness. As an emerging AI-trading platform, Vooi is one to watch for its novel approach to “agent memory” on blockchain. $BOB - @build_on_bob BOB (Build on Bitcoin) is a layer-2 network aiming to bridge Bitcoin and Ethereum. It uses the OP Stack for smart contracts while anchoring finality to Bitcoin’s security. In early August 2025, Cointelegraph reported that BOB has raised $21 million to date (including a $9.5M round) to develop its “Gateway to Bitcoin DeFi”. Investors include Castle Island Capital and Anchorage Digital, reflecting institutional interest in native Bitcoin DeFi. Notably, BOB’s CTO has said the next milestone is launching its BitVM bridge to let users spend native BTC in DeFi without wrapping. Technically, BOB’s testnet is already live (with partners like Amber Group supporting) and its mainnet launch is planned for Q4 2025. In community terms, BOB’s combination of Bitcoin security and EVM compatibility makes it stand out. Cookie fun shows solid sentiment around BOB as Bitcoin DeFi heats up, and its Snap scores put it in active developer circles. For traders, BOB represents a hybrid play on both Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems. $ELP - @elympics_ai Elympics is a Web3 gaming infrastructure project focused on fair, rewarding gameplay.

Technological Infrastructure Analysis of Web3 Projects 👁️ In this article, eight different Web3 projects have been deeply examined via their whitepapers and technical documents, to explain each project's foundational technological infrastructure. This includes which cryptographic and blockchain solutions they use (like zero-knowledge proofs, layer-2 solutions, secure execution environments, optimistic rollups, native bridges, cross-chain protocols, etc.), their structural innovations, and AI integrations. Each project is presented under its own heading and supported by quotations from their documentation. ⤵️ $SAPIEN - @JoinSapien Sapien is defined as a decentralized data factory that transforms human knowledge into training data for enterprise AI. The protocol is designed as an open-source layer powered by the $SAPIEN token. Users stake tokens to contribute data and build their internal reputations. Competitions incentivize data quality, contributions are recorded in a global points pool, and validators earn tokens. All interactions are recorded on-chain, and contributions are validated via NFT-based reputations. Technically, Sapien runs on an Ethereum-compatible chain. The whitepaper doesn’t highlight advanced technologies like zero-knowledge proofs or layer-2 scaling. Instead, it targets broad data market applications from carbon credits to social networks through decentralized on-chain mechanisms. Gamification and economic models are key: users earn tokens for data tasks, lose stakes for faulty contributions, and developers/validators are driven by on-chain reputations. In summary, Sapien is a blockchain-based data marketplace protocol emphasizing transparent token economics and consensus mechanisms more than cryptographic innovation. Assessment: Sapien positions itself as a user-generated data marketplace for AI. Its architecture is straightforward, favoring Ethereum-style staking, voting, and NFT reputation over advanced cryptography. It's focused on building a new data commodity market without complex underlying encryption or scalability layers. $RECALL - @recallnet Recall is described as a chain where AI agents can store, share, and exchange knowledge. The project uses a layer-2 architecture built upon the Filecoin network. Applying the IPC (InterPlanetary Consensus) framework, Recall creates an L2 “subnet” on Filecoin. Transactions run on an FVM-based environment and use CometBFT (Tendermint) consensus. Some actions happen via Ethereum-like smart contracts, while others operate on custom blockchain layers. The most innovative feature is on-chain memory for AI agents. As stated on their website: “The agents' intelligence is provable on-chain; an agent’s reasoning and memory are stored on Recall.” Each AI agent writes its generated information and inferences to the blockchain, enabling transparent performance evaluation and rewards. Technically, data is stored using IPFS/IPLD and entropy-correcting algorithms (e.g., ‘entanglement’ modules on GitHub). The recall/ipc layer enables scalable, multi-tier EVM-compatible networks (from Filecoin to optimistic rollups and even non-EVM cross-chain interaction). Assessment: Recall stands out as a specialized L2 subnet secured by Filecoin. It uses CometBFT consensus and EVM-like operation for interoperability. Its signature feature is on-chain memory for AI agents, recording their learning process on-chain. Technologically, Recall is a Filecoin-IPFS-based, EVM-compatible, CometBFT-consensus AI-data network. $OPEN - @OpenledgerHQ OpenLedger serves as an AI blockchain infrastructure, focused solely on data and model distribution. A key innovation is the use of “Datanets”, on-chain data networks. Each Datanet is a Solidity smart contract tailored for domain-specific data curation (e.g., finance, healthcare). Users contribute data, validators assess quality, and staking mechanisms establish trust. Data itself is stored off-chain (like IPFS); only data hashes go on-chain to maintain scalability. OpenLedger runs on an EVM-compatible Layer-2 chain, built on Optimism’s OP Stack with EigenDA for data availability. Smart contracts enable AI-specific functionality such as “contribution and attribution verification.” Currently, over 12 validator operators have restaked nearly $6 billion in tokens. A standout feature is OpenLoRA, a model execution layer that dynamically calls numerous LoRA-style fine-tune modules on top of a base large-language model (e.g., Mistral), enabling hundreds of model variants to run on a single GPU dramatically reducing cost. OpenLedger also implements a Proof of Attribution layer: each data contribution is certified on-chain, and upon model query, contributors are rewarded proportionally based on their impact. Transparency lets contributors claim and monetize their contributions at any time. For sensitive domains like healthcare, OpenLedger even supports Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs): for instance, hospitals can deploy private data networks in TEE environments for anonymized data-sharing, preserving both privacy and blockchain integrity. Assessment: OpenLedger is a complex AI-oriented ecosystem combining an EVM-compatible L2, curated data marketplaces (Datanets), attribution protocols, scalable AI execution (OpenLoRA), and optional TEE support. It's highly innovative in integrating AI infrastructure on-chain and off-chain privacy. $TEN - @tenprotocol TEN Protocol functions as a “encrypted Ethereum”, a next-gen L2 project centered around TEEs (Trusted Execution Environments). It runs smart contracts, including states, inputs, and outputs, entirely encrypted and executed within TEEs hidden even from the blockchain itself. Transactions are encrypted at the wallet before submission, protecting against front-running. This approach realizes a “confidential rollup”, or “encrypted EVM.” TEN POBI (Proof of Block Inclusion) consensus mechanism distributes block validation without a centralized sequencer. Transactions benefit from both Ethereum’s security and TEN’s confirmation layer even “hybrid finality” akin to Bitcoin-level assurance. TEN maintains full EVM compatibility, so existing tools like Solidity and MetaMask continue to work seamlessly. Yet, on-chain data remains encrypted balances and transactions aren’t visible. Users can choose privacy levels or specify release schedules. Notably, TEN integrates an on-chain AI agent architecture: each user gets a personal AI agent running in a TEE. These agents can transact, strategize, sign contracts, and interact with smart contracts under user-defined rules all fully on-chain but privately executed. TEN also includes built-in bridging for rapid Ethereum-TEN integration. Assessment: TEN is a privacy-first Ethereum L2, merging optimistic rollup-like infrastructure with encryption via TEEs and its custom POBI consensus. It preserves EVM compatibility while enabling private transactions and agent-based automation. It’s a highly secure, privacy-native platform with AI at its core. $VOOI - @vooi_io VOOI is an omnichain DEX aggregator for perpetual futures, connecting liquidity across EVM and non-EVM chains and offering 200+ markets. It’s built on chain abstraction and account abstraction. In its VOOI Light version, user funds are pooled in a “Chain Abstracted Balance,” letting users trade across chains without switching wallets or chains. It supports gasless trading, with fees handled via batch protocols or relayers. A typical flow: users access VOOI via social login (e.g., Telegram Mini App), fund the embedded wallet with ETH or BTC, and VOOI handles cross-chain bridging and locking behind the scenes. Users open positions from a single interface; behind the scenes, VOOI manages margin and chain-specific actions. Account abstraction simplifies permissions and confirmations. VOOI connects multiple chains and DEXes seamlessly via smart contracts no special layer-2 or ZK tech. Assessment: VOOI simplifies the DeFi derivatives experience with chain and account abstraction, gasless UX, and non-custodial operations. It’s integrating AI trading bots and guides. Technically, it’s a protocol that unifies cross-chain DEX operations via abstraction layers and existing bridges no heavy encryption or zero-knowledge layers. $BOB - @build_on_bob BOB is a hybrid L2 network merging Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s flexibility. Its whitepaper describes it as an optimistic rollup on Ethereum, fortified by billions in staked BTC and zero-knowledge fraud proofs. BOB uses Optimism’s OP Stack layered with ZK verification. The key innovation is “Bitcoin-grade security”: users can use BTC natively in BOB thanks to the BitVM bridge, which emulates smart contract logic on Bitcoin. Native bridging via BitVM allows nearly “native BTC” flow into BOB with a single transaction. Technically, BOB supports full EVM compatibility and Ethereum tooling. It's cross-chain, with native bridges between Bitcoin and Ethereum, and integrations like LayerZero and CCIP to access Solana, BNB Chain, and others. BOB uses Gnosis Safe–style Smart Accounts (ERC-4337) for account abstraction. The consensus is hybrid, combining OP Stack optimistic mechanics with BOB's DPoS-like 'Kailua’ layer. For data availability, Ethereum blobs are primary, while Bitcoin provides censorship resistance as backup. Assessment: BOB is a deeply integrated Bitcoin-Ethereum L2. It combines OP Stack with ZK fraud-proof, offers native BTC use via BitVM, and brings Ethereum tooling and execution grounded in Bitcoin’s security and settlement guarantees. It’s a novel hybrid chain. $ELP - @elympics_ai Elympics offers a “gaming oracle” infrastructure for Web3 games, ensuring verifiable and fair multiplayer match outcomes on-chain. Their innovation is the Proof-of-Game mechanism and game rollups. Game sessions start with a unique nonce; failure to write results on time incurs penalties. Each match outcome becomes a verifiable replay stored on-chain, allowing post-hoc auditing. Game event logs are recorded, enabling reward distribution directly based on performance. Architecturally, it blends a central server authority with a decentralized host network. Games execute deterministically; same inputs always yield identical outputs minimizing cheating. Each match generates a cryptographically signed replay stored in the cloud. While not using cross-chain or L2 tech, Elympics can integrate with Ethereum for smart contract reward systems. Whitepapers mention cryptographic signatures and staking for security rather than ZK or TEEs. Assessment: Elympics provides on-chain game integrity via a hybrid architecture combining off-chain deterministic hosting and on-chain verification. Their Proof-of-Game strategy safeguards fair play without resorting to full blockchain or ZK deployment. #Almanak - @almanak Almanak is an agent-centric platform for developing and deploying financial strategies (DeFi/CeFi). Its infrastructure comprises four components: data collection tools (on-chain/off-chain indexers), a development kit (with connectors to various chains and testing environments), optimization infrastructure (forked chain simulations), and deployment infrastructure. Deployment is handled via TEEs, where AI agents run privately and execute strategies. Agents transact via user wallets, centralized or decentralized exchanges, in a non-custodial, permissioned model. Users utilize smart accounts based on Gnosis Safe and ERC-4337 for account abstraction. The agent framework allows users to train AI-based financial strategies without coding, deploying them securely via TEE execution. Strategy logic remains private; only outcome outputs are on-chain. Agents can operate across multiple chains and exchanges abstractly. Assessment: Almanak is an AI trading platform integrating smart-account abstractions and TEE-based execution. It enables private, agent-driven strategy deployment across DeFi/CeFi. While technically traditional (TEE, contracts, simulations), its innovation lies in AI-driven decision-making layered on blockchain infrastructure.
