Ai16z is planning a major overhaul of the 'Token Economy' and considering the launch of Layer1 BlockChain

In the wave of AI and blockchain integration, the popular AI agency project ai16z has once again sparked discussion, reportedly actively planning a comprehensive transformation of the Token economic structure, and may launch a Layer 1 blockchain tailored specifically for AI applications.

Token economy has undergone a major upgrade, and the value capture mechanism has been comprehensively enhanced

Currently, the ai16z team has initiated preliminary discussions with contributors in an attempt to optimize the value accumulation method of Token. According to the latest governance proposal, they are considering a 'phased' approach to completely reform the Token economic structure.

In the first quarter of 2025, ai16z plans to launch a Token issuance platform similar to pump.fun, to serve as the core hub for the deployment of AI projects within the ecosystem, and to enable ai16z's native Token to become the foundational Token for interaction among AI agents.

In the future, this issuance platform may introduce multiple value capture mechanisms, such as project deployment fees, users needing to pledge ai16z Token to use the platform, and strategic liquidity pool pairing modes.

Aiming at the AI application blue ocean: Layer 1 may become a key focus of future layout

What is even more noteworthy is that ai16z is also considering developing a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed for AI applications. According to internal documents, the new Layer 1 will focus on meeting the needs of AI applications and is expected to become one of the key technological points for ai16z in the future.

As the core of the ecosystem, ai16z's native Token serves a dual role as a governance Token and an application Token. In addition to allowing Token holders to participate in decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and vote on the future development direction of the project, the Token can also be used to support various AI agent functions.

ai16z runs on the Solana blockchain and is not affiliated with the well-known venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). The platform's core technology, Eliza development framework, provides developers with tools for building AI agents and has cross-chain compatibility.

Although ai16z has a DAO and emphasizes community governance, the core development team still has a certain degree of influence on the project's strategic direction.
