AI continues to evolve, transforming industries with advances in automation, decision-making, and predictive analytics. AI models like DeepSeek push the boundaries of what’s possible, making complex tasks more efficient and accessible. At the same time, Web3 is reshaping digital ownership and finance through decentralisation. As the two technologies advance, their convergence seems inevitable. However, integrating AI with blockchain and decentralised systems has proved challenging – until now. The company Alvalanche DeFAI Agents (AVAXAI) is addressing the gap by introducing the first DeepSeek-powered DeFAI product on the Avalanche blockchain. The platform provides a way for users to create, manage, and trade tokenised AI and DeFAI agents. Agents will be able to benefit from Avalanche’s scalability, fast transactions, and energy-efficient infrastructure. By merging decentralised ownership with AI-driven automation, AIvalanche DeFAI Agents offers new opportunities in the Web3 space.

The DeepSeek controversy and its impact on AI’s future

DeepSeek has been at the centre of global attention, not only for its technical advancements, but also for concerns about its use. In January, the company unveiled a chatbot that reportedly matched the performance of its rivals at a significantly lower training cost, a development that shook international markets. AI-related stocks, including Australia’s chip-maker Brainchip, saw sharp declines following the news. However, DeepSeek’s rapid rise has also raised security concerns. Australia has banned the DeepSeek AI from all government devices and systems, citing an “unacceptable risk” to national security. According to the BBC, officials insist that the decision is based on security assessments, not the company’s Chinese origins. The government’s move emphasises ongoing debates over AI governance and the potential risks of incorporating AI into important systems. Despite these concerns, AIvalanche DeFAI Agents continues to explore new ways to utilise DeepSeek’s abilities in a decentralised framework. It wants to provide users with greater control over AI agents and maintain security and transparency in Web3.

Decentralised AI agents for ownership and monetisation

DeepSeek is an AI model built for tasks like data analysis and autonomous operations. AIvalanche DeFAI Agents extends its capabilities by integrating tokenised AI and DeFAI agents into the Avalanche C-Chain. The platform combines Avalanche’s efficiency with AI functionality, letting users create, manage, and deploy AI agents with minimal effort. Users can use AIvalanche DeFAI Agents to develop AI agents and investigate ways to monetise them. The decentralised framework enables trustless transactions, altering the way AI ownership and interaction take place.

Key features of AIvalanche DeFAI agents

• Create and manage AI agents: Users can build AI agents in just a few clicks. Each agent has a dedicated page outlining its capabilities.
• Co-ownership of AI agents: Anyone can invest in AI agents early by acquiring tokens before they gain mainstream attention. Users can also engage with established AI agents while trading their tokens.
• Monetising AI agents: AI agents evolve by learning from new data. They have their own wallets and can execute transactions, manage tasks, and distribute revenue.

Support from key players in the Avalanche ecosystem

AIvalanche DeFAI Agents has gained recognition in the Avalanche ecosystem, receiving support from entities like Avalaunch and AVenturesDAO. Avalaunch provides a launchpad for Avalanche-based projects, while AVenturesDAO is a community-driven investment group. Their involvement highlights growing interest in decentralised AI and DeFAI agents.

Expanding access through public sales and listings

AIvalanche DeFAI Agents is currently conducting a public sale across several launchpads, including Ape Terminal, Polkastarter, Avalaunch, and Seedify. The platforms enable broader participation in the Web3 AI agent economy. Following a public sale, the platform plans to list its AVAXAI token on centralised exchanges like Gate.io and MEXC. The listings could improve accessibility and liquidity and increase the platform’s adoption. As AI and decentralised finance (DeFi) continue to intersect, AIvalanche DeFAI Agents aims to establish itself in the space.
