Undiminished Potential in the AI Sector

The founder of Swarms, Kye Gomez, revealed plans for new features, including seamless agent creation and real-time chat.
AI16Z is expanding to Near and Avalanche, and Holoworld introduced Launchpool, allowing AVA holders to stake for ecological rewards. Major AI projects are thriving, continuing to grow beyond the initial hype surrounding them.

The AI era is seen as imminent, with Nvidia's CEO claiming it presents trillions of dollars in business opportunities. Analysts predict that if Web3 AI agents capture market shares comparable to Bitcoin and gold, the sector could reach a $100 billion market value, indicating substantial growth potential from its current $10 billion.
