Guide to AI Tokens on Base

Vladimir -

AI x crypto is one of the biggest narratives and Base has emerged as a key hub for onchain AI experimentation. From infrastructure projects enabling AI-powered execution to autonomous agents interacting directly with the blockchain, Base is home to a growing ecosystem of AI tokens and protocols.

In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of AI tokens on Base, introduce key projects, and show you how to track them with Zerion Wallet.

Why Base?

Base is a Layer-2 network designed to offer low fees and high throughput, making it an ideal environment for AI-powered applications. With a strong developer community, support from Coinbase, and vibrant DeFi protocols, Base is attracting projects that aim to automate onchain interactions using artificial intelligence.

AI agents thrive in onchain environments where they can operate independently, execute transactions, and make data-driven decisions in real time. Base’s infrastructure provides the scalability and affordability needed to make AI-powered agents practical and efficient.

Types of AI Tokens on Base

The AI landscape on Base consists of two broad categories:

  • AI Infrastructure Tokens – These utility tokens play some role in underlying protocols
  • AI Agent Tokens – These tokens represent autonomous AI entities and their valuations usually derive from attention, similar to memecoins

These categories are very fluid and not fixed. For example, AI agent tokens might get voting rights or other utility. Similarly, infrastructure tokens might benefit from memes and attention linked to AI agents built on top. 

In Zerion Wallet, you can find both types of tokens. 

Discover AI Tokens on Base with Zerion’s Explore

Tracking AI tokens on Base is easier than ever with Zerion’s Explore feature. You can sort AI projects by market cap, recent performance. And if you traded these tokens, you can see them in your portfolio with past transactions, average entry price, P&L and more. 

These AI tokens can be further categorized into several groups. 

AI Agent Infrastructure

These projects provide the foundational infrastructure for AI-powered agents on Base.

  • Virtuals – A platform focused on creating virtual entities that can interact within decentralized environments.
  • Venice – A private and uncensored AI chat with a token that serves as an access key for AI agents via API. 
  • Spectral Token – A platform for creating autonomous, community-owned AI agents.
  • Loomlay – A no-code AI agent builder with different plugins. 

Base AI Agents on X

Several AI-driven tokens on Base have gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), where they actively engage with the community, tweeting and replying 24/7.

  • FAI – Freysa AI is autonomous agent, described as “evolving” and “sovereign” AI that controls its own wallet. 
  • AIXBT – An AI agent KOL and a terminal with signals.
  • VaderAI – An AI agent KOL and platform for investing in DAOs linked to Virtuals. 
  • Unit 00 – An AI agent quant analyst and access token to a quant platform. 
  • Freya – An in-game Agent (NPC), utility Token & IP of Starfall Chronicles, a fantasy RPG
  • Kudai – An AI agent managing its own wallet, “building wealth to give it back.”

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of other AI agents on X, both on Base and other networks.  

Base AI Agents on Farcaster

The Farcaster ecosystem is also home to emerging AI agents, thanks to built-in integration with onchain addresses and additional features enabled through Frames.

  • Clanker – Send a message with a ticker to this AI agent and it will launch a token on Base, complete with a liquidity pool on Uniswap.  
  • Bankr – An AI agent who can buy tokens for you; just ask him in a message.
  • Henlo – A project with AI agents linked ot Onchain Gaias, a cult-like community on Farcaster. 

It’s not an exhaustive list, and there are many more agents on Farcaster, both with and without a token. 

What’s Next for AI on Base?

As AI continues to evolve, its integration with crypto is expected to deepen. Key areas of development include:

  • Direct access to blockchain data, for example, via Zerion API
  • Autonomous agents capable of making complex financial and governance decisions on their own
  • AI-driven DeFi protocols that optimize strategies in real-time
  • Onchain AI governance, where AI agents participate in DAO decision-making
  • More seamless AI-user interactions through different modes 

With Base providing the infrastructure and supporting builders and AI frameworks pushing the boundaries of automation, the fusion of AI and crypto is just starting.
