Fact: Centralized models are holding AI back. In this piece by Murtuza Merchant, published on Benzinga, our co-founder Shashank Sripada breaks down why decentralized AI is the future and the key roadblocks we need to overcome. https://lnkd.in/ehzDZCDn

New article! Markets have never been fair but AI agents might just be the great equalizer. For decades, institutional investors thrived on information asymmetry, leaving retail traders to play a rigged game. Now, AI is reshaping finance, leveling the playing field… or is it?

Gaia is proud to announce we're collaborating with some of the most prominent AI projects to launch Mother. No more will AI agents just work alone but actually team up, trade value, and get stuff done autonomously. That’s exactly what we’re building. Let’s break it down!

Today, the Celo Foundation is proud to introduce CxAI, a user-centric AI initiative designed to accelerate prosperity for all. Joined by 15+ founding partners, CxAI is committed to harnessing AI’s transformative potential by leveraging blockchain innovation with AI-powered tools. Leading projects and open-source frameworks include Chain GPT, Climate Collective, EigenLayer, Eliza Labs, Gaia ??, GainForest.Earth, GOAT by Crossmint, GT-Protocol, Masa AI, Olas, Predicate, Safe, Sentient Foundation, Universal Machine, and Vana, who are joining efforts with the Celo Foundation to build a robust ecosystem of use cases aligned across the principles of user-centricity, open-source collaboration and transparency, and Celo’s core mission to create prosperity for all––humans and their agents. Since launching mainnet on Earth Day 2020, Celo has increasingly drawn AI projects empowering humans, including decentralized non-profit GainForest.Earth and real-time data network Masa. With recent progress on agent infrastructure, improved LLMs & groundbreaking agent-to-agent transactions, projects on Celo can scale for impact like never before. To expedite the growth of Celo's onchain economy, CxAI founding member Universal Machine, a consortium of MIT engineers and alumni, is developing AI agents to augment the network’s robust stablecoin ecosystem, DeFi applications, and introducing new ways for users to interact with agents onchain. With Web3’s influx of autonomous agents, Celo core primitives, like phone number and social mapping to prove personhood will unlock new possibilities for identity verification across everyday use cases — from gaming to the creator economy. “Web3’s promise has always been to use mass-coordination tools to solve the mass-coordination problems of our time, from systemic inequality to the climate crisis. With the emergence of powerful AI tools at our fingertips, the Celo Foundation and broader ecosystem stance — shared by so many Day 1 partners with CxAI — is to leverage agentic cooperation for good, rapidly aligning incentives for the benefit and prosperity for all — humans and their agents. We look forward to accelerating our mission,” says Rene Reinsberg, Celo Foundation President and Celo Co-Founder. "The Celo ecosystem is uniquely poised for a thriving agent economy which we’re happy to drive forward through bringing Olas agents to Celo” said David Minarsch, CEO of Olas core contributor Valory. “Joining the CxAI initiative allows us to demonstrate the full potential of our vision of user-owned autonomous AI agents and work with builders contributing to the rapid growth of onchain AI solutions.” To learn more, visit?ai.celo.org.

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re teaming up with MoonPay, the rockstars of crypto payments, to turbocharge our journey toward a decentralized future. This partnership is a power-up for the entire decentralized AI ecosystem. Here’s what it means (and why you should be excited): ? A New Paradigm for AI Agents AI agents, autonomous programs executing tasks on blockchain networks, are reshaping everything from trading and security to decentralized governance and smart contract automation. To push their boundaries, Gaia helped launch Mother, an agent launchpad for Ethereum that lets users summon AI agents for a range of utilities. MotherDAO governs this ecosystem, aligning incentives, managing governance, and ensuring sustainable growth. Mother operates as an independent DAO, but we’re proud to have played a founding role in its creation. ? Powering Decentralized AI MoonPay will enable token purchases and agent monetization on the launchpad, while their newly acquired partner, Helio, will streamline on-chain transactions—bringing: ? Less friction ? More autonomy ? A serious level-up for DeAI ? Seamless Onboarding with MotherDAO MotherDAO is about to launch with MoonPay’s infrastructure behind it, providing: ?? Seamless wallet setups ?? Ironclad security ?? Frictionless onboarding Translation? Less hassle, more doing. ? Next-Gen Payments We’re integrating Helio directly into Gaia’s ecosystem to enhance: ? Smoother transactions ? Autonomous bot-driven payments ? Next-gen features that will redefine decentralized systems ? More Autonomous Hackathons Gaia was built on hackathons, collaboration, and good vibes. Now, we’re teaming up with MoonPay to co-host hackathons alongside Mantle, Eigen Layer, ETHGlobal, and others. Expect: ?? Cutting-edge innovation ?? New connections ?? Opportunities to make your mark in the DeAI space ? Your Success, Front and Center MoonPay is crafting a dedicated Gaia hub to spotlight community wins. Plus, we’ll gain early access to MoonPay’s latest tools, ensuring we stay at the forefront of innovation. “Partnering with MoonPay is another step toward building a world where everyone can thrive in the decentralized space,” says Matt Wright, our CEO. ? Fueling the Future MoonPay Ventures has also invested in Gaia and will explore synergies with builders leveraging the network. Our focus is building the future of AgentFi, driving adoption, and pushing boundaries. This is just the beginning. Onward and upward!

The Gaia Asia Roadshow continues in Shanghai ???? ! Join our co-founders Matt Wright and Shashank Sripada alongside some of the best minds in the space to discuss engineering the future of trustless AI and decentralized automation! ??
