Chainlink needs no introduction. As a decentralized oracle network, it serves as the vital bridge between blockchains and real-world data. With over 2,000 integrations, Chainlink has become the standard infrastructure for DeFi and real-world asset tokenization (RWA), as well as for AI cryptos.

Its $5 million in revenue comes from fees paid in LINK for its services, ensuring a stable and growing revenue stream. Investing in LINK means betting on the growth of the entire crypto ecosystem, a position similar to AWS in the cloud computing space.

Meanwhile, Bittensor generated $2.3 million in revenue. It’s an ambitious protocol that creates a decentralized marketplace for artificial intelligence. Through its subnet system, it incentivizes participants to share and collaborate on machine learning models, fostering innovation at scale.

Its revenue, generated through TAO rewards, is directly tied to the value created on the network. With a deflationary structure and an active developer community, TAO is a long-term bet on the democratization of AI.

Emerging Gems in AI Cryptos: Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUALS) – $1.7M

Virtuals Protocol innovates by tokenizing autonomous AI agents, primarily for the entertainment and gaming sectors. These agents can generate services, create products, and trade on the blockchain, transforming AI into a productive and co-owned asset class. Revenue is generated through the monetization of these agents. This is a foundational project that could redefine the digital economy by capitalizing on the trends of gaming and decentralized ownership.

io.net (IO) – $1.6M: The DePIN for Computing Power

Faced with the explosion of computing power needs for AI, io.net offers an elegant solution: a decentralized GPU network. By aggregating unused computing power, io.net provides resources up to 90% cheaper than cloud giants like AWS. With annualized revenue of $20 million, this project has already proven its business model. Investing in IO means betting on the growing need for accessible and censorship-resistant computing infrastructure.

Sahara AI (SAHARA) – $1M: Ethical and Private AI

Sahara AI positions itself as a comprehensive blockchain platform for developing ethical and privacy-respecting AI. It offers a decentralized marketplace where data and models can be created, shared, and monetized securely. With $50 million in funding, Sahara AI has the potential to disrupt a still highly centralized AI sector by emphasizing fairness and transparency. Its revenue comes from development fees and a value-sharing mechanism.

To conclude, in a market where narratives can be fleeting, focusing on projects that generate real revenue is a prudent and potentially highly profitable investment strategy, especially for those seeking long-term gains. This is no longer speculation, but investment in a project developing a profitable business model.
