The artificial intelligence agent platform ai16z aims to update its tokenomics and evaluate the launch of a Layer 1 Blockchain. The team has initiated discussions with various participants to improve the appreciation of the token‘s value. Ai16z’s latest management proposals involve a gradual restructuring of the token economy.
Details of the Plans
Ai16z targets to launch a token similar to pump.fun in the first quarter of 2025. This launchpad will be developed based on the Eliza framework and could serve as a hub for artificial intelligence projects. The ai16z token will be used as the primary currency in interactions between agents on this platform.
The launchpad can offer various mechanisms for value appreciation, including launch fees, access through staking ai16z tokens, and strategic liquidity pool matching. According to a document shared by participants, ai16z is also considering launching an AI application-specific Layer 1 Blockchain.
Currently, the token serves as a utility token within the ecosystem while also offering governance rights. Under the Ai16z DAO framework, token holders can vote on proposals related to the project.
Technical Foundations of the Eliza Framework and Platform
For those unaware, ai16z operates as a decentralized platform running on the Solana 
$207 Blockchain. It has no connections with the Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) investment firm of the same name.
The project runs a development framework for creating artificial intelligence agents called Eliza. This framework allows developers to create their own AI agents and is compatible across multiple platforms, facilitating interactions between Blockchain networks and social media applications.
Although the DAO contributes to the governance of the platform, ai16z does not possess a fully decentralized structure. The core developer team still wields significant influence over the platform’s direction. Nevertheless, the developers emphasize a collaborative and open-source approach.
