DWF Labs is announcing a $20 million fund to support the development of artificial intelligence agents. This investment is similar to another DWF fund for meme coins, a growing industry.
This news was announced via a press release shared by TinTucBitcoin.
AI Agent Fund from DWF Labs
According to the press release, this new fund will support independent developers in their efforts to create AI agents. AI agents are a growing field in the Web3 industry, and DWF Labs promotes them based on their “ability to drive innovation and create meaningful impact in industries such as finance, logistics, entertainment and administration.”
Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) predicted that agent AI is one of the most promising areas of future Web3 technology development last week. Although the field is relatively small, it is growing significantly; Some AI agent tokens have exploded. Virtuals Protocol, a decentralized AI agent launch protocol, has grown significantly over the past month.
This is not DWF Labs’ only effort to fund developments in high-growth sectors. In late November, the company launched a similar $20 million fund for meme coin creators. Throughout the month, meme coins have proven to be one of the best performing sectors in cryptocurrency. Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner at DWF Labs, sees similar potential in AI agents.
“Autonomous AI agents will transform the way businesses and individuals interact with technology, from automating complex decision processes to unlocking entirely new economic opportunities. Through this fund, we want to foster those who build and accelerate innovation in AI and decentralized technologies,” said Mr. Grachev.
The main benefit that grantees will receive is up to 100K USD in cloud server credits to satisfy their AI computing needs. The press release also mentions “strategic consulting services and partnership opportunities with leading blockchain ecosystems,” but does not go into specifics.
