Web3.0 Digital Asset Trend Report 2024" (6)

Every technological revolution in history tells us that the key to success lies not only in early exposure to technology and practice, but also in a deep understanding of the nature of technology, an accurate grasp of market trends, and a keen insight into future development. This cognitive perspective beyond the conventional is a key factor in enjoying the dividends of Web3.0. In 2024, the change in thinking is particularly important. We conducted in-depth analysis and forecasts of industry trends this year and proposed six key trends. Our purpose is to provide everyone with a new perspective and help those who are concerned about Web3.0 seize the opportunities of the times and achieve sustained growth and development. These trends cover all aspects from technological innovation to regulatory frameworks, from market dynamics to user participation, providing us with anticipatory and response strategies for upcoming industry changes. Today we will analyze the fifth major trend:

Trend 5: The application layer is about to usher in explosive development, AIFi and AI DePIN will be the key themes of Web3.0

In 2023, ChatGPT, led by Sam Altman, sparked widespread enthusiasm for artificial intelligence around the world. Altman has profound insights into the impact of artificial intelligence on the global economy. His entrepreneurial project Worldcoin in the field of Web3.0 aims to explore the possibility of how generative artificial intelligence can reshape the world economy.

In the context of the era of generative artificial intelligence, Altman particularly emphasized the importance of distinguishing the identities of humans and artificial intelligence. This is not only a technical challenge, but also a basic guarantee for achieving social and economic goals such as Universal Basic Income (UBI). The Worldcoin project attempts to provide solutions in this regard, through the use of unique biometric technology, aiming to build a fairer and smarter economic system in which human identity and rights are clearly guaranteed, while also fully utilizing the potential of artificial intelligence.

These views and practices of Altman reflect the thinking of current technology leaders on the future social and economic structure, and also suggest the possible future development direction of the Web3.0 field. Under his influence, we can foresee more innovative artificial intelligence applications being developed and implemented in the Web 3.0 field, which will not only have an impact on the economy, but may also change the way we understand and practice social equity and economic inclusion. .

We expect that there will be an important trend change in the digital asset industry in 2024: a comprehensive explosion of the application layer, especially in the field of integration of artificial intelligence and Web3.0. AIFi (AI Finance) and AI DePIN (AI Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) will become the core themes of this bull market. This trend not only reflects the cutting-edge direction of technological innovation, but also reflects the market’s strong desire for more efficient and smarter financial services. need.

AIFi represents a new paradigm for the integration of artificial intelligence and financial services in the Web3.0 era. It is not limited to simplifying and automating traditional financial processes, but also provides unprecedented innovation possibilities in areas such as intelligent asset management, risk assessment, and investment strategy formulation. AI DePIN is a decentralized exploration of artificial intelligence infrastructure. It achieves distributed deployment of data processing and storage capabilities by building a decentralized physical network infrastructure. This not only provides a broad platform for AI, but also promotes the arrival of the Web3.0 era.

The combination of these two trends indicates that the future financial and digital asset markets will be more intelligent and personalized. Relying on the further maturity and application of AI technology, it is expected that in 2024 and beyond, AIFi and AI DePIN will continue to be the core driving force of the bull market, pushing the entire industry into a new stage of development.

At the same time, the development of GameFi has also brought about the phenomenon of Web3.0 "breaking the circle" in wider areas. This branch of the gaming industry not only attracts a large number of users of non-traditional digital assets, but also demonstrates the huge potential of blockchain technology in entertainment and interactive content. Through GameFi, more people will experience the new gameplay and value models brought by blockchain, thereby promoting the popularity and growth of the entire Web3.0 ecosystem. As of December 21, 2023, the booming development of the GameFi field has been significantly reflected in the market value of its related tokens, reaching approximately US$7.5 billion. This data not only reflects the strong growth momentum of GameFi as an emerging field, but also indicates its increasing importance in the entire digital asset ecosystem. In terms of game track development, BNB Chain, Ethereum and Polygon, as industry leaders, continue to lead traditional public chains. These public chains provide solid infrastructure for various GameFi projects with their stability, high efficiency and extensive application support.

In addition, the rapid development of SocialFi also indicates that the large-scale application of decentralized applications is approaching. The core of SocialFi is to combine social networks and financial services to create a more transparent and fair social economic system. As users become increasingly concerned about data privacy and content value, SocialFi will lead a new wave of digital identity, content capitalization and decentralized social networking in 2024.

TON (Telegram Open Network) has become the Web3.0 infrastructure selected by Telegram, a communication platform with 800 million users. On July 13, 2023, Telegram Wallet launched Wallet Pay, an encrypted payment solution based on the TON blockchain. Allows users to pay merchants using USDT, TON, and BTC directly within the Telegram app. By the third quarter of 2023, the number of TON accounts has grown to more than 3.5 million, the number of active wallets on the chain is close to 815,000, and the number of validators has reached 344. These validators are distributed in 24 different countries. The total pledged amount is close to 500 million TON. What is even more noteworthy is that on November 3, 2023, TON was recognized by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). This certification opens the door to further expansion and application worldwide.

In general, the industry development trend in 2024 will focus on breakthroughs in many aspects of the application layer. Among them, the integration of AI and Web3.0 will become the core force affecting the development of the application layer. At the same time, the development of GameFi and SocialFi will break traditional boundaries. Bring new experiences and value to a wider user base. The integration and interaction of these trends indicates that a more diverse, intelligent and interconnected digital asset world is accelerating.
