Expand Beyond Base & Solana
Another way to position yourself for 2025 is to expand your search for agents
Beyond Base & Solana, many L1/L2s are starting to get agent-pilled, hopping onto the bandwagon, and some are seeing traction
@HyperliquidX —
@vaporwarefun came to prominence after being the first agent ecosystem to launch on Hyperliquid. Price skyrocketed to $130m
Great overview of Hyperliquid Eco here:

@zksync —
@AigentFi by
@HoldstationW with
$HOLD as the main currency accruing value. $2m builder grants to top builders.
$aiws as top ai infra project
@modenetwork — remains the top defi x ai ecosystem incubating 14 top ai x defi projects like
@gizatechxyz,
@autonolas,
@SturdyFinance,
@QuillAI_Network, and more.
A Few defi x ai products came out already, optimizing stablecoin yields, LP on Balancer, Lending yields with AI agents.
$MODE as the main currency accruing value. Alpha (pls don't tell anyone), they'll have a launchpad coming soon
Other ecosystems worth keeping an eye on:
@SuiNetwork — Still very early, with
@SuiAIFun leading as the top agent project.
@arbitrum — They’ve launched a $1M Trailblazer Program for AI builders. The main ecosystem,
@aisweatshop by
@webisopen, has introduced @OverlordBot as its first agent. Still early here too
@NEARProtocol — Focused on building the largest open-source AI models while also working on chain abstraction, AI assistants, and a DeAI incubation program with Delphi
@Starknet — The StarkWare x Realms Agent Hackathon is running until Jan 31, with $250K in grants. This could attract some solid AI builders.
@soon_svm — soon
What else?
Follow the progress of AI hackathons and watch for potential winners. Solana and Mode Hackathon winners will be announced in January.
Here’s my take on the top Solana hackathon projects:

don’t miss
@dabit3 Agent Demo Days. Every week, top-tier AI agent teams pitch live, showcasing their projects. These are highly curated—keep an eye out for quality teams before everyone else notices.
Episode 2 of Agent Demo Days drops on Jan 3:

The agentic cycle is still very early.
Position yourself now—2025 is shaping up to be HUGE for AI agents.
