Project Focus: Render Token ($RNDR) is a distributed GPU rendering network built on the Ethereum blockchain. It aims to connect artists and studios needing GPU computing power with mining partners willing to rent out their GPU capabilities. This project facilitates the rendering of complex 3D scenes and virtual reality experiences, making high-quality rendering accessible and more cost-effective for creators and developers.

What Makes It Unique: RNDR is pioneering leveraging blockchain technology to democratize access to high-end rendering capabilities. Using a decentralized network optimizes the rendering process regarding speed and cost. It incentivizes GPU owners with RNDR tokens, creating a win-win ecosystem for creators and GPU miners.

From a price action perspective, Render looks a little top-heavy. This is especially true if you look at the white trendlines. 

The angle of the trendlines has gradually become more extreme, a behavior some analysts and traders believe warns of a parabolic move. Two additional bearish warning signs are the firm rejection against the 261.8% Fibonacci extension and the current candlestick pattern developing: a bearish shooting star. 

Here’s something to digest: parabolic moves are the definition of irrational behavior, and as Warren Buffet once said, markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. 

In other words, just because the technicals here are screaming this is ‘done’, don’t be surprised if FOMO catches and it keeps going. ⌚

Project Focus: SingularityNET ($AGIX) is a decentralized marketplace for AI services, designed to allow anyone to create, share, and monetize AI services at scale. The platform aims to be the core protocol for networking AI and machine learning tools to form a coordinated Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with capabilities that exceed the sum of its parts. In other words, Skynet. I think.

What Makes It Unique: The uniqueness of SingularityNET lies in its vision to democratize access to AI technology, enabling developers, companies, and individuals to collaborate and access AI services easily. It promotes an open-source and decentralized approach to AI development, fostering innovation and reducing monopolistic control over AI technologies. Also, it’s built on Cardano’s ($ADA) blockchain.

Of the five AI plays we’re looking at in today’s Litepaper, AGIX is by far the best performer YTD. 

From a technical perspective, the conditions are relatively the same as for Render. The only exception is the current daily candlestick, which is not as bearish as Renders, but still ugly for bulls.

Project Focus: Fetch.ai ($FET) is a decentralized machine-learning platform for smart infrastructure, finance, logistics, and more applications. It aims to create an Autonomous Economic Agent (AEA) network where agents can perform tasks autonomously, such as data sharing and decision-making, without human intervention.

What Makes It Unique: Fetch.ai introduces the concept of AEAs that can operate independently or collaboratively to solve complex problems. This approach to decentralizing AI tasks and the economy itself is groundbreaking, as it paves the way for a more efficient and automated future, where tasks are performed by intelligent agents negotiating with each other in a trustless ecosystem.

Fetch.ai didn’t close in the green yesterday, bucking the overall trend for any asset (crypto or otherwise) in the AI space. A daily close below the closest trendline could be a big warning to bulls that selling pressure may increase.

Project Focus: Akash Network ($AKT) brands itself as the world’s first decentralized cloud computing marketplace, providing a fast, efficient, and low-cost alternative to traditional cloud services. It is designed to enable cloud-based applications to run on a decentralized network of computers, utilizing unused computing capacity in data centers and servers around the globe.

What Makes It Unique: Akash’s proposition is unique in that it challenges the status quo of cloud computing by offering a decentralized solution significantly cheaper than conventional cloud providers. Its platform incentivizes the leasing of underutilized computing power, making it accessible for various applications, including AI and machine learning workloads, thus fostering innovation by lowering entry barriers.

Akash Network doesn’t show the same extremes that we saw on RNDR, AGIX, or FET. If bulls are looking for a laggard in the space, this is one of them. 

Fundamentally, it faces a lot of competition inside and outside of crypto.

Project Focus: Ocean Protocol ($OCEAN) is a decentralized data exchange protocol that aims to unlock the value of data. It allows individuals and enterprises to share and monetize data in a secure, privacy-preserving manner. The platform facilitates data sharing between parties that do not know or trust each other, using blockchain technology to ensure transparency and security.

What Makes It Unique: Ocean Protocol’s unique contribution to the AI and blockchain space is its focus on data, a critical component of AI development. By creating a secure and transparent environment for data sharing and monetization, Ocean Protocol addresses the issue of data silos. It promotes the creation of AI models that can benefit from a wider variety of data sources, driving innovation in AI research and development. However, the attack on privacy-focused cryptocurrencies and projects has not been kind to those assets’ prices.

Our last AI-focused cryptocurrency today looks very much like all the rest. Despite its rise, if you look at the candlestick wicks, buyers have repeatedly stepped in to support any intraday dips (except for the 19th) over the past six sessions.
