AI agents burst onto the crypto scene in late 2024, with several projects rapidly capturing the market’s attention. ElizaOS (formerly AI16z) became one of the industry’s fastest-growing cryptocurrencies, seeing hundreds of millions USD in daily trading volume throughout early January 2025.
The ElizaOS project is built as a framework for developers to create and launch AI agents atop, with these programs capable of performing a range of tasks. The cross-platform compatibility of EliaOZ agents means they can be deployed across social media platforms, websites and blockchain smart contracts.
A core component of ElizaOS is the ‘personality’ trait built within the agents, meaning developers can easily create and customise a consistent AI character across different platforms.
