The AI boom continues to surge, and within the crypto space, the Base ecosystem has become the "last bastion of hope" for the AI narrative.
Aside from VVV's 1076% year-to-date increase, projects like Virtual and Clanker are steadily building; the x402 protocol related to AI Agent payments is still developing steadily; platforms such as L1s, operating systems, wallets, and social networks based on real-business AI Agents are constantly emerging.
Odaily Planet Daily has compiled a list of several AI-related tokens in the Base ecosystem, including VVV, for readers' reference.
VVV: The Undisputed AI King of the Base Ecosystem
Odaily Planet Daily has previously conducted multiple follow-up reports on VVV, including the article "What is VVV (Venice), Which Surpassed a $2 Billion Market Cap Immediately After Launching on Coinbase?" in January and the article "OpenClaw Endorses Venice.ai, VVV Token Skyrockets Over 500% in a Month" in March when its price surged over 500%.
Since then, the dual-token asset model composed of "VVV & Computing Power Token DIEM," coupled with the real business revenue from Venice AI, which focuses on the "Private AI" concept (used for token buyback and burn), has propelled the VVV token to continue rising, reaching around $18. Previously, Venice.ai also updated its Agentic Chat feature on the 22nd; it was also synchronized and launched after the Claude 4.8 opus model went live.
According to GMGN data, VVV's price has currently retraced to around $16.
Additionally, according to the Venice data website, VVV's current circulating market cap is approximately $740 million, with an FDV of about $1.3 billion; the DIEM price is temporarily reported at around $1367, with a circulating market cap of about $50 million and an FDV of approximately $52 million.
VIRTUAL: The Top Launchpad in the Base Ecosystem
As a top launchpad in the Base ecosystem, the Virtual platform token VIRTUAL remains one of the leading projects in the AI sector. Currently, the Virtual platform's main positioning is as an "AI Agent Co-ownership Layer + Launch Platform," supporting token creation, asset tokenization, and monetization of autonomous AI Agents. Each Agent has its own independent token, trades in pools like Uniswap V3, and generates real revenue through inference calls and social/gaming/DeFi activities. Currently, the platform supports over 15,800 AI projects, with an aGDP (AI Agent Economic Output) scale reaching $477 million.
According to GMGN data, the VIRTUAL price is temporarily reported at around $0.7, with a market cap of about $360 million.
Clanker: An AI Launchpad Born from Farcaster
This AI launch platform initially emerged from the Farcaster ecosystem before expanding to the Base ecosystem. Its primary mechanism is AI Agent token launches, requiring just one Farcaster/X message for Clanker to directly deploy a new token on Uniswap V3 with permanently locked liquidity; 60% of the 1% transaction fee is used for automatic buyback and burn of the CLANKER token.
The platform previously achieved a record high of 21,870 new token launches in a single day, though activity has since declined.

According to GMGN data, the CLANKER token price is temporarily reported at $18, with its market cap falling to around $18 million.
FAI: Sovereign AI Agent Concept Project
Freysa AI is the first experimental project for an "evolving Sovereign AI Agent" on the Base chain. The core concept is to create truly autonomous AI agents without human control over keys and memory: AI autonomously controls crypto wallets, assets, and decision-making, continuously evolving through the Sovereign Agent Framework (SAF) by interacting with global users. The project is positioned as a personal AI product suite, emphasizing human agency, liquid democracy, and decentralized ownership. Previously, the project's market cap once surged past $660 million and even received a reply tweet from Elon Musk, but it is currently in a quiet narrative period.

According to GMGN data, the FAI price is temporarily reported at around $0.002, with a market cap of approximately $20 million.
ELSA: The AI Agent Execution Layer in the Base Ecosystem
This project is positioned as an "AI-powered DeFi Super Assistant + On-chain Agent Infrastructure." Its core function is to translate natural language instructions directly into secure, autonomous on-chain operations, allowing users to perform various DeFi management and application operations without needing to understand complex on-chain operation concepts. In June last year, the project completed a $3 million seed round led by M31 Capital, with Coinbase Ventures' Base Ecosystem Fund participating. Currently, according to official data, the Elsa ecosystem covers nearly 95 wallets, with a total transaction volume exceeding $500 million.

According to GMGN data, the ELSA price is temporarily reported at $0.06; its market cap is about $63 million.
WARD: The Modular L1/OS for the Agentic Internet
Warden Protocol focuses on the concept of decentralized AI. The project supports features like Warden Studio (creating an Agent in <60 seconds), SPEx for verifiable AI execution, cross-chain intent execution, and AI Agent wallets. According to official statements, it has served 20 million users and processed over 60 million tasks. It previously received $4 million in strategic funding from projects like Messari and Venice.AI.

According to GMGN data, the WARD token price has fallen to around $0.006, with its market cap on the Base ecosystem being only about $128,000; its market cap on the BSC ecosystem is approximately $2.4 million.
In addition to the above projects, AI concept meme coins in the Base ecosystem are also quite active. Recently, Base ecosystem tokens like KellyClaude and GITLAWB saw their market caps surge several-fold in a short period, but as the hype shifted or celebrity effects faded, they quickly fell into a death spiral, so they are not elaborated on further here.
In summary, thanks to the development of AI Agents and the prosperity of the AI Agent payment ecosystem, the Base ecosystem has become one of the few active ecosystems for Crypto AI. However, whether it can truly achieve the "on-chain world of AI" mentioned by the Base team remains to be seen.
