DefiOasis' main business is the author/analyst of Wu Blockchain. He usually focuses on on-chain data and investment research analysis. He has sniped multiple blue chip targets during the hot period of the AI Agent sector, and grasped ai16z, ACT, PIPPIN, TURBO and other targets with 10 times or even dozens of times. As of the day of the interview, he has achieved an overall return of 7~8 times.

In this interview, DefiOasis briefly introduced its investment experience, investment research methodology, and position building methods in the AI Agent track, and systematically told everyone about its valuable experience and insights. It has a strong reference value for investors and even practitioners. Everyone is welcome to read it carefully.

1. Wu Yue: Can you briefly review when you started investing in AI Agent-related tokens?

Defioasis: I am usually interested in this kind of on-chain data analysis and on-chain asset-related gameplay. Since last year, my main focus has actually been on the on-chain. The motivation for studying AI Agent actually comes from my long-term exploration of on-chain assets. I have been observing on-chain assets since last year, but I usually watch more and invest less real money, mainly because I feel that on-chain assets, especially memecoin, cannot convince me to invest a lot of money.

But the turning point was in late October and early November last year, when a phenomenal project Goat created a narrative of AI coin issuance. $GOAT soared to a market value of several hundred million US dollars in a short period of time, and then Binance launched its spot and futures. This incident made me rethink the AI-related track. Of course, there were other things that influenced me before that. One was Worldcoin, whose issuer was Sam Altman, co-founder of OpenAI. Under the narrative of OpenAI's Memecoin, Worldcoin's FDV quickly reached as much as 100 billion US dollars.

The second one is $TURBO, a memecoin created by AI, which has increased by 200~300 times in CEX. From these two things, I feel the strong interest of everyone in the theme of AI+Crypto, and it also makes me sure that the targets related to AI Agent are worth ambush.

So after $GOAT was listed on Binance, I quickly saw the potential of the AI Agent track and felt that Binance had the ability to lead this track, so I began to spend time looking for some AI-related targets. At that time, several targets caught my eye, one was ai16z and the other was ACT.

From now on, ai16z seems to be much more powerful than ACT, but at that time, Shawn, the founder of ai16z, was not very famous, and the way he issued tokens, including the token contract, also had problems. Since $ai16z was more volatile and less popular, I also opened a position in ai16z at that time, but the position was not large. In addition, $ai16z once fell below the market value of 10 million US dollars, so I didn’t dare to buy it later. In the end, I invested heavily in ACT, which is more stable and has a larger number of holders.

The first time I bought $ACT was probably in early October last year. It was my first official position in the AI+Crypto track. I bought about $3,000. Later, I bought ACT several times after the market value reached 20 million US dollars. The average price was about 0.022 US dollars, and I bought more than 10,000 US dollars. What happened afterwards was very unexpected. ACT was listed on Binance. I remember that day I was still in Bangkok for a conference and was quite shocked when I learned the news. After $ACT was listed on Binance, the FDV reached as high as 700 to 800 million US dollars, and I sold a large part of the tokens on the second day of ACT listing on Binance, and I still hold the remaining ones.

Later, I did observe that AI Agent can be said to be the only track that has developed from a general-purpose Pump.fun to a vertical scale, and then I began to delve into this track to do some investment research. After ACT, I also gradually grasped some good targets, such as PIPPIN, which I once held a large position in and achieved a return of more than 10 times. In the end, my overall investment return in the AI Agent track was about 7~8 times from October
