Not a lot of people are talking about AO lately.
Attention is crucial in the world of cryptocurrency, but AO is not a typical new cycle narrative. Most people don’t realize how vibrant the AO ecosystem is. So, what’s so exciting about AO? Here are my 10 favorite AO projects right now.
I have been supporting the Arweave Ecosystem for a long time and am more excited about it now than ever before. The vision of AO is clear: to redefine what it means to compute on-chain. It fuses the idea of decentralization with local state for every network process. So what projects am I excited about to expand on this vision?
Autonomous Finance
AI Agents will play a key role in solving on-chain markets. Autonomous Finance is building a comprehensive framework and end-user dApps to support this functionality natively on AO.
Autonomous Finance focuses on researching and developing AI-driven financial applications on the ultra-parallel computer ao.
ArSwap
This is not another Uni v2 fork. I have been working with the ArSwap team for several years, and they are ready to innovate on the classic DEX design and create a perpetual contract DEX to promote the development of DeFi on AO.
Astro USDA
As an industry, we have explored multiple approaches to building decentralized stablecoins. @KadarSayedAbdi and his team are combining battle-tested overcollateralization designs with new capabilities enabled by AO’s unique framework.
USDA is the first stablecoin launched on the Arweave Ecosystem and AO. Hear directly from @KadarSayedAbdi, CEO and Founder of Astro Labs, about Astros mission and why AO is the ideal ecosystem to achieve it.
LiquidOps
Lending markets are the base layer of any DeFi ecosystem. Arweavers’ OGs, @lorimer_jenkins and @martonlederer, are developing this part for AO.
AOX
Unlocking the $2 billion in AR token liquidity on AO seems like a great starting point for a new ecosystem. This is already underway, use $wAR now!
DeFi is now gradually being integrated on super-parallel computers.
Bridge Architecture (AOX)
Decentralized Exchange (ArSwap)
· Artificial Intelligence + Investment Portfolio (Autonomous Finance)
Soon, the entire Arweave ecosystem will be able to easily participate in DeFi on AO.
Outcome
Prediction markets are hot right now.
Imagine iterating on the Polymarket design to solve market problems for any sector or interest in a trustless manner. You can also act as a market maker and extract alpha from various passive strategies. Now AO can realize this idea.
Introducing Outcome: a combination of prediction markets and autonomous agents. Outcome leverages autonomous agents to trustlessly solve market problems, create accurate prediction models, and incentivize truth-seeking behavior in the AO ecosystem.
dumdum
Okay, thats dumdum.
WeaveVM
Want to continue using Solidity and EVM tools?
WeaveVM is developing tools to achieve this goal, allowing EVM code to be seamlessly migrated to the AO platform.
mbd
Wondering if there is more intersection between AI and AO? @mbdtheworld It is now possible to run almost any type of machine learning model on-chain.
Cyber Beavers
On-chain games: AO is well suited to handling computationally intensive games that are fully on-chain. There are already games in development on the platform - check out @LlamaLandAO and Cyber Beavers!
