If you don't have the patience to read through, then summarize it in one sentence: Virtual + Clanker on BNB Chain.
As we all know, I have always paid special attention to the AI track. Starting in November 24, the Ai16z system of Solana and the Virtual system of BASE have brought a wave of AI, with two types: AI Agent and AI subfields. Among them, AI Agent has a greater technical difficulty and a higher valuation, typically represented by Virtual and Ai16z, which had a market cap of over 2 billion even before being listed on CEX.
Entering January 2025, AI suddenly experienced a significant downturn, and so far, these older AI targets have not recovered. However, the on-chain market has gradually revived recently, especially the popularity of BNB Chain is increasing, and the AI market on BNB Chain is about to arrive.
Along this line of thought, I recently found the Botzilla platform to be very interesting while searching for AI targets on BNB Chain; it seems to be a very promising AI Agent project. In simple terms, the Botzilla platform is a combination of Virtual and Clanker.
Its interaction is divided into two types: platform interaction and Twitter interaction.
1. First is the platform interaction feature.
You can directly launch a new coin on the official website. After issuance, it is a cold start for a brand new token. After the cold start, the token is still in the internal market phase, completely launched, requiring 4 million platform tokens. Everyone can participate fairly, with a mechanism similar to pump; trading is also normal in the internal market.
When the internal market reaches 4 million, initial liquidity will be automatically established on Pancake. At this time, the token officially enters the public market, and everyone can trade through Cake.
However, it should be noted that the internal market of the platform and the external market LP trading pairs on Cake are both BTZ trading pairs, which is consistent with the mechanism of Virtual.
2. Secondly, the token issuance feature on Twitter (X).
I conducted a preliminary test (the token named 'ai' on the platform is the one I issued) of the Twitter interaction feature, which involves mentioning the official Twitter account and clearly stating the token you want to issue, including the name, description, and issuance address to cold start the token issuance. If the content of the tweet does not meet the requirements, the official Twitter will reply, asking for additional content. My experience was extremely smooth, with very fast speed, and the entire process was automatically executed.
After the token is issued, the buying and selling process on the internal and external markets is the same as that on the platform for token issuance. After reaching the external market, liquidity is automatically added on Pancake. This is similar to the Clanker feature on BSE. The above is a brief introduction to the two token issuance functions, and the overall experience is very good with comprehensive features.
Next, let's talk about my current judgment and views on the platform:
1. Background: The award-winning project on Botzilla at the BNB Chain Hackathon, original text can be found at https://x.com/BNBChainDevs/status/189726208730853408, and it is the first-ranked award-winning AI project.
As we all know, for activities like hackathon evaluations, aside from technology, there are definitely some human factors involved. Being able to win an award and rank first leads me to believe that the project team has some background. It is also for this reason that I began to seriously study Botzilla and chatted with a few KOLs around me, recommending that they also conduct research. We all feel it has potential.
2. Operations: I have been following the platform for some time and have mentioned it on Twitter. In fact, it has not taken any action for a long time, and the number of addresses holding the platform token has remained below 400. I once thought the project had given up on operations, but I was pleasantly surprised that the platform has recently become noticeably more active. Firstly, the platform has successfully launched 3 projects from the internal market; secondly, the UI of the platform has been concentrated on optimizing some small details based on previous versions.
You can feel that the project team has started to show some actions.
3. Timing: In recent days, the statements from CZ and Heyi have been clearly directional. A few days ago, they actively participated in community interactions, competing for traffic from Solana, mainly targeting the Chinese-speaking community. It is evident that they are serious about doing big things, and Binance's wallet function has also been optimized. However, they surely won't limit themselves to just guiding everyone to play memes; there must be project scenarios that are applicable. Since yesterday, a new rhythm and trend have been evident, most likely in the AI track. Many large KOLs have also been discussing that AI is the main narrative of this round, so there is reason to believe that BNB Chain will definitely support AI projects wholeheartedly.
What reason is there not to support the award-winning project ranked first?
With the right timing, location, and people, all three are present! I believe Botzilla has the potential to take off. The above is my first research material on Botzilla, and I will continue to track it. Friends who are interested are welcome to research together.
