Team members from Coinbase, Google, ai16z, and other major players have joined forces to launch Aiccelerate, a new decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that aims to accelerate the convergence of cryptocurrencies with artificial intelligence (AI). The announcement on January 9 revealed that the DAO will focus on driving decentralized, open-source AI development and supporting projects with high potential in different ecosystems. In addition, Aiccelerate positions itself as a DAO that places equal emphasis on investment and development. Its primary mission is to drive innovation in what it calls the "agent AI" space. The DAO aims to build a collaborative community of top developers across multiple frameworks. These experts will contribute to a range of agents and tools designed to advance the organization's goals. In addition, Aiccelerate will unify its initiatives through a token called AICC. The DAO will use a portion of the profits to buy back its native tokens. The list of development advisors includes ai16z founder Shaw, Virtuals Protocol core contributor EtherMage, EigenLayer head of developer relations Nader Dabit, and Story Protocol co-founder Jason Zhao. On the investment side, Aiccelerate's advisors include Andrew Kang and Marc Weinstein of Mechanism Capital, Justin Lee of Coinbase Ventures, and Anil Lulla of Delphi Digital.
