Editor's Note: The crypto market saw a resurgence after a 90-day tariff suspension, with a 25% increase in total market value. Intelligent interactions have significantly increased, indicating a growing interest in AI projects by users. Mode Trade launched a trading platform that integrates AI, perpetual contracts, and predictive data, utilizing LLM and synthetic data to innovate the trading experience. Additionally, projects like Bio Protocol are driving the integration of AI agents with open science through hackathons, while Virtuals Ventures are exploring on-chain monetization in the AI economy, showcasing the thriving integration of Web3 and AI.
The following is the original content (reorganized for ease of comprehension):
While the overall market still faces uncertainty, there has been some relief felt after the 90-day tariff suspension. The total market value has grown by approximately 25% compared to last week, but more interestingly, there has been a growth in intelligent interactions, rising from 3420 last week to over 8830 now, indicating an increasing number of users paying attention to AI projects, and we may be hitting a bottom.

As we mentioned in our version a few weeks ago, Mode was one of the first blockchains to fully embrace AI, ahead of the widespread trend. What's the latest?

$PROMPT TGE is now live, and compared to traditional parallel stakers, yapper's counterpart makes old-school players feel bittersweet:

PROMPT claiming is now live, available on Mainnet and Base for claiming, with social tasks coming soon.
$TAO Subnet:

Some projects are not in the subnet's top ten, but have an extremely focused team, a working product, and a growing user base. The chart looks like an annual ROI of several hundred times.

What is Bittensor's $TAO—it's useful proof of work. It extends Bitcoin's principles but in a multi-dimensional way—through subnets: providing inference services, AI model training, predictions and trading signals, scientific research, AI-driven DeFi.
Jeff on TAO:

I am now convinced that the $TAO ecosystem may be the best/most integrated/most powerful PvE ecosystem at present. The $TAO price hits bottom, and the transaction price returns to Q4 2023 levels. dTAO brings interesting dynamics and value accumulation.
