State of Onchain AI Narratives
> Privacy 2.0 leads in performance in the last 30 days, across FHE, MPC, TEE players @zama, @Arcium, @PhalaNetwork, @nillion
> GPU financing has also been performing well with @USDai_Official getting the largest loan (~$129M) yesterday
> Robotics looming with catalysts β @peaq x @codecopenflow Machine(.)fun + several Robotics @bittensor subnets incoming
> Inference remains the #1 onchain AI narrative across 2026 with @AskVenice consistently growing its platform + DIEM ecosystem, @AskSurplus hitting ATH (~130B+) in daily tokens served, and other players continuing with their product developments (e.g. @engyai, @dphnAI, @openservai)
> Bittensor is recovering nicely following the wave of stonk/token pairing meta, dragging the entire ecosystem of subnets upwards in PA
> While the Agentic Economy/x402 hasn't found PMF or hit wider adoption this year, it has managed to organic adoption among power users, devs, and startups looking for lower cost, better micro-accounting tools & inferences. Several x402 facilitators (e.g. @PayAINetwork, @daydreamsagents) experienced positive PA as a result
> Interestingly, Data is performing well thanks to @grass finally listening to the community, improving its comms, with better revenue transparency, and plans to accrue value back to token holders
All in all, possibly one of the most bullish time to be investing + building in onchain AI
More analysis on this in the upcoming After Hour EP.74 on Substack this Sunday

Great to see narrative rotation starting to ramp up
Privacy β Stonks β DeFi β Inference β Private AI/Inference
The next 2 weeks are going to be even more exciting as a handful no. of teams are gearing up for product launches
We're finally back
View original βPrivacy is Back β ZEC is Back β βββ isn't Back yet
Inference is Back β VVV is Back β βββ isn't Back yet
Covering the players who aren't back yet with the tendency to be back "soon" + fresh trading ideas for this bull run

View original βThe Stonk meta kinda reminds me of LST meta but for retail
LST β instead of having 32 ETH to stake & lock to earn 2-3% APY, a yield-bearing token is created allowing investors to stay liquid while farming the yields
Stonk β instead of holding tokenized stocks (which tend to be high val) or memes (which don't have any utility), stonks act as yield-bearing tokens whose yields are powered by trading volume of said stonks
The valuation is low enough for retail to experience large upside (leverage vehicle) while source of yields is tangible enough to attract whales to farm yields (yield vehicle) once stonks val/liq get to a decent size
Would be cool to see @pendle_fi enabling PT & YT on stonk markets
PT would be betting on volume going down/staying consistent
YT betting on volume & speculation going up, literally leverage on leverage
PT & YT on @longdotxyz (RHC) and @LaunchOnSF (Solana) remain a whitespace
Gonna be interesting to see if Pendle or anyone else capture this gap

Arc could have made history here by making its chain an x402 chain
> Curates top onchain AI use cases wrapped in x402 endpoints
> Supports x402 facilitators with batching & up to payment schemes to save $$$ for projects
> Onboard onchain inference players
> Subsidizes credits for buyers
> Provide grants/inference credits to top projects
> Give them incentives to launch tokens to build community & early traction, and enable stakeholders to enjoy upside on the success of the chain
Result: Arc as Onchain AI + x402 chain instead of confusing memes/institutions chain

> Inference + Speculation is back
> Onchain options' back
> Stonk narrative surviving & thriving
> Arc finally launches with thousands of launchpads

I've got everything I love right in front of me
my fiancΓ©e & my pocketbook
Going to unveil one (my pocketbook) at our gm AI v2 event in Token2049 SG
The pocketbook is titled "Agents Are Buying"
Field Notes from the Onchain Agentic Economy 2026, sharing all the magic I've seen within the Agentic Economy + walking through key infra stack & players
Reading is a beginning for learning but nothing beats execution
Therefore, our 4 cohosting partners have graciously seeded each book with FREE credits for their existing + upcoming AI products
@codecopenflow β SimArena Simulation
@dphnAI β Inference API
@openservai β Reasoning API
@reppo β Evaluation API
Thanks for giving that extra first push to onboard users into the Agentic Economy
If you're interested to get your hand on the pocketbook, reserve in the luma link below & pick up at our event

This cycle actually feels pretty simple vs the last one
Capital is concentrated like a barbell
> Memes & Speculation on the left
> Onchain AI, DeFi, RWA, Payments on the right
2 things happen
1. Launchpads & DEXs capture value from trenching activity
2. AI, DeFi, RWA, Payments/Neobanks extend crypto moat outside of CT
And you know what the best thing is?
10/10 literally cleansed most teams out of the industry
The only ones left are teams that either
> they have found PMF + whose tokens haven't really re-rated
> OR they're on the verge of PMF + tokens at rock bottom price
It's a good time to be investing
