The demand for computing power, autonomous agents, and open markets for models is exploding, while centralized actors (Big Tech & Clouds) concentrate the supply. The crypto market is trying to respond with decentralized architectures that reward the contribution of resources (GPU, models, data, security) and align incentives through a token.

In this context, five projects stand out: Bittensor (TAO), Render (RNDR), Qubic (QUBIC), Fetch: ASI, and Akash Network (AKT). The first four have already demonstrated part of their robustness (liquidity, time-to-market, developer traction); the last one provides an “AI-native L1” narrative that can create a strong recovery effect.
