ChainOpera AI co-founder Salman Avestimehr: AI agents will drive the large-scale adoption of DeFi and RWA, dedicated to building a community-governed Crypto AGI network

ChainCatcher news, at the Silicon Valley 101 x RootData annual summit held in Silicon Valley, ChainOpera AI co-founder and University of Southern California professor Salman Avestimehr delivered a keynote speech on "The Foundation of Collaborative AI Agent Networks," systematically elaborating on his proposed vision of "Crypto AGI." This vision aims to deeply integrate AI and blockchain technology by building a community-driven, community-owned AI agent network, promoting the large-scale adoption of DeFi and real-world assets (RWA).

Salman pointed out that the current DeFi and AI fields face issues such as complexity of use and resource monopolization. ChainOpera AI is committed to bridging these two areas through a community-driven intelligent agent network. He highlighted three core components:

The ChainOpera AI Terminal application as the user entry point, integrating CoCo personal assistant, AI keyboard, and agent social network to achieve human-machine collaborative operations; a decentralized AI agent platform supported by community development, providing low-cost, highly available shared GPU and model services; and an AI collaboration protocol based on "Proof of Intelligence" consensus, which incentivizes users, developers, and resource providers in a verifiable manner.

In addition, Salman stated that ChainOpera AI has achieved early-scale validation, with over 200,000 daily active users on-chain, more than 10,000 AI agents developed within the ecosystem, and partnerships established with over 50 partners.
