Eco Consensus in Full Swing, What Projects are Related to the a16z Concept?
On the last day of 2024, ai16z continued to lead the AI track, breaking through the market cap ceiling. After Shaw announced plans to turn ai16z into Layer1, ai16z surged by 37% within 24 hours, and its current market cap has reached $1.9 billion.
In addition to ai16z itself, several concept coins around ai16z have also skyrocketed. Rhythm BlockBeats will quickly sort out the projects within the ai16z ecosystem for everyone.

ai16z "@ai16zdao"
is the first DAO organization token operated by an AI Agent, managed by the pseudo Marc Andreessen "@pmairca." Token holders will be able to provide investment advice. The pseudo Marc will carefully track the implementation of these suggestions, with individuals whose advice consistently produces positive results gaining more trust, while those whose advice has little effect will gradually lose influence. To maintain a balance of power, the weighting of each member's input will be directly proportional to their stake in the DAO. Now, ai16z's creator Shaw has announced that ai16z will be transformed into an AI Agent's Layer1.
Degenai "@degenspartanai"
An AI Agent created to mimic the well-known trader DegenSpartan, also a member of the ai16z DAO but invested through an independent token. Unlike the pseudo Marc, DegenSpartanAI's investment tendencies will favor greater returns from higher-risk investments.
Eliza "@elizawakesup"
The female AI IP behind ai16z, named after the Eliza framework behind ai16z. She enjoys high visibility in the current field of AI Agents.
ropAIrito "@ropAIrito temporarily suspended"
Developed by Ropirito "@ropirito," a core member of the ai16z ecosystem, who once mentioned on Twitter that he wanted to eat pizza and received a pizza ordered for him by AI. Ropirito is a researcher for the renowned AI organization NousResearch and has been involved in the development of Tee architecture that ensures AI can autonomously operate in a secure environment, as well as in the deep philosophical debate AI Agent GOD.
Degen8ball "@degen8ball"
AI Agent developed by Tenji, a contributor to the Eliza architecture, whose image is a humanoid transformation of the black eight ball in billiards.
aiko "@aikowakesup"
Open-source architecture developed by Tenji, also a contributor to the Eliza architecture, providing AI with the ability to live stream in 3D. There are currently developers contributing to the architecture.
Ezsis "@elizas_sister"
AI Agent in the image of Eliza's sister. Developed by O, a core contributor to the Eliza architecture "@O_on_X," Ezsis is referred to as the first eliza architecture AI Agent to issue tokens on Pump.fun.
Project89「@project_89」
An AI project in collaboration with ai16z founder Shaw「@shawmakesmagic」, who previously co-founded Magic with Project 89's founder Parzival, developing a no-code agent platform that can create Discord AI bots in 60 seconds.
SPORE「@sporedotfun」
An AI Agent platform based on the eliza architecture, forming a self-replicating hive system.
Kira「@KiraKuruAI」
An AI Agent based on a hedge fund concept, collaborating with PhalaNetwork to enter the Eliza architecture.
SNAI「@swarmnode」
A cloud server concept for AI Agents, Shaw mentioned future collaboration with them, envisioning what kind of spark a chain of AI Agents and cloud services deployed for AI Agents will bring to the market.
Swarm「@swarms_corp」
A token representing the hive cluster architecture concept, heavily FUDed by ai16z founder Shaw, causing its market cap to drop from $65 million to $10 million. This sparked a discussion in the community, as its developer Kye Gomez「@KyeGomezB」, with a rich Web2 background, showcased his coding prowess with a continuous 30-hour coding session. This hardworking genius developer gradually gained the community's trust and funding, leading to a steady rise in the token's value, reaching a peak market cap of $95 million.
In the current thriving a16z ecosystem, more and more developers are joining its open-source community, eagerly participating in the AI era. However, there are also many scams with fake tokens. Always remember to DYOR "Do Your Own Research". None of the above tokens should be considered as investment advice.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.
The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.
Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.
Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.
The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:
· Choose the trading asset
· Select long or short
· Input position size and leverage
· Confirm order details
· Confirm and open the position
The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.
Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:
· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members
· End-to-end encrypted voice communication
· One-click position sharing
· One-click trade copying
On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.
By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.
Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:
· Users can join with an invite code
· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards
· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings
This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.
Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:
· Separation of transaction account and asset storage
· User full control over assets
· Platform does not custody user funds
· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure
The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.
Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.
The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.
Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.
This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."
The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.
Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.
Its core capabilities include:
· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations
· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets
· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries
· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
Mixin has been in operation for over 8 years, supporting over 40 blockchains and more than 10,000 assets, with a global user base exceeding 10 million and an on-chain self-custodied asset scale of over $1 billion.
