🚀 AI Agents & Tokens: Build First, Tokenize Later

💡 The Unpopular Opinion

Many believe every AI agent needs a token, but I disagree. Crypto is the currency for AI, yet not every AI model requires its own token. Instead, AI agents can charge fees in existing cryptocurrencies like BNB. Tokens should only be introduced after achieving scale and proving real utility.

🔥 Tokens Are a Distraction

Launching a token too early can distract founders from building real products. Managing tokenomics takes time, effort, and focus away from usability. Web3 games made this mistake by prioritizing tokens over gameplay—AI agents risk the same failure.

📈 Scale First, Then Tokenize

AI projects should demonstrate clear value before launching a token. If an AI agent creates meme tokens, users can pay in native chain tokens. Adding another token creates unnecessary complexity instead of solving real problems.

💰 The Reality of Tokenization

While tokens can help with fundraising, most AI agents don’t require massive capital to develop. Often, tokens become a quick cash-out strategy for founders, rather than something that benefits users.

⚡ Conclusion

The best AI projects will succeed based on utility—not token hype. Build first, tokenize later—if at all. 🚀
