The artificial intelligence agent platform ai16z intends to update its tokenomics and explore the possibility of launching a Layer 1 Blockchain. The team has initiated discussions with various stakeholders to enhance the value of the token. Ai16z’s latest management proposals involve a gradual restructuring of the token economy.
Details of the Plans
Ai16z plans to launch a token similar to pump.fun in the first quarter of 2025. This launchpad will be built on the Eliza framework and could serve as a hub for artificial intelligence projects. The ai16z token will be used as the primary currency for interactions among agents on this platform.

The launchpad will provide various mechanisms for value appreciation, including launch fees, access through staking ai16z tokens, and strategic liquidity pool matching. According to a document shared by participants, ai16z is also considering the launch of an AI application-specific Layer 1 Blockchain.
Currently, the token functions as a utility token within the ecosystem while also granting governance rights. Under the Ai16z DAO framework, token holders can vote on proposals related to the project.
Technical Foundations of the Eliza Framework and Platform
For those who are unfamiliar, ai16z operates as a decentralized platform running on the Solana
$
Blockchain. It is not affiliated with the Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) investment firm with the same name.
The project utilizes a development framework called Eliza for creating artificial intelligence agents. This framework enables developers to create their own AI agents and is compatible across multiple platforms, facilitating interactions between Blockchain networks and social media applications.
Although the DAO contributes to the platform’s governance, ai16z does not have a fully decentralized structure. The core development team still holds significant influence over the platform’s direction. Nevertheless, the developers emphasize a collaborative and open-source approach.
