Just published a new Substack article The "AI" Guide to Capturing Mindshare (for Projects) It’s getting harder for legit projects to stand out—more tokens, same pool of attention. I break down what actually works in 2025: - Incentivizing yappers > paying KOLs via backroom deals - Pros & cons of using @virtuals_io (for any project) and how to overcome the hurdles - Value-adding agentic workflows that transform your project into an "AI" project - Case studies of teams executing with edge Also shared what I’m watching as an investor—projects applying even 50% of this playbook are worth a second look. For anyone building or backing in AI x crypto, this one’s a solid read. (Link in bio)
Simple but Successful Defi x AI Playbook Step 1: Have a working Defi product, ideally with $1m-2m TVL to start
Step 2: Have an agentic workflow as part of the product roadmap (the more value-adding to the core product, the better)
Step 3: Launch on @virtuals_io
Step 4: Enjoy the traction from being one of a few projects w/ working products w/ decent traction Preferably only have 1 token, treating the AI agent token as the main token. But if you have 2, that's still fine as long as you plan the tokenomics & value accrual properly. Bonus: Allocate 2-5% supply to incentivize yaps. Leverage @KaitoAI public API to set up an incentive program to bootstrap your community You can replicate this playbook across any sectors as AI can be used to add value to anything
