PAAL AI (PAAL) is an AI-focused Ethereum-based crypto project offering custom virtual assistants, AI trading, content creation, audits, and more.

 (AI) and machine learning (ML) are undoubtedly the hottest current topics in the world of crypto, and in the entire business world, for that matter. Riding the wave of wild AI enthusiasm, AI-focused blockchain projects and coins are experiencing unprecedented growth. Projects like Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET), 

 (AGIX), all focused on the AI sphere and its use cases, have been receiving massive attention from users and industry observers.

Another high-profile AI-oriented crypto project, Paal AI (PAAL), has also benefited from the niche's surging popularity. As of late December 2024, the project has grown to occupy one of the top spots in the crypto market's category of AI agents.

While the majority of other AI-focused blockchain projects specialize in one or two specialized applications of the technology, Paal AI has taken a more comprehensive approach. The platform offers a wide variety of AI products and services, including task automation through AI bots and agents, AI-driven content creation, crypto trading supported by AI algorithms, automated 

 audits and AI model training using outsourced GPU processing power. 

At the platform's core is a service that allows users to create intelligent AI bots and agents to automate various complex tasks and business processes. However, a quick glance at the platform's overall product line clearly demonstrates that Paal AI aims to leverage AI technology for many different things, all at the junction of AI and blockchain technologies.

 (DApp) that offers crypto users a variety of AI-powered products and services, with the core product being an easy-to-use functionality to create custom AI virtual assistants.

 In addition to this service, the platform features various other products supported by AI algorithms, including AI-driven content creation using images and video, crypto trading automation, cryptocurrency market insights, automated smart contract audits and even AI model training via GPU power rentals.

The platform's diverse product line also includes the user-friendly Paal AI Web Widget, which can be integrated into any website. It offers a chatbot that delivers information and insights on the crypto market, and even conducts general online searches.

Another key product devised by the project is Paal as a Service (PaaS), a customized way to address the AI needs of various industry sectors, including online betting, trading, digital collectibles and more.

The Paal AI platform was launched on Ethereum in June 2023. The project's only publicly identified co-founder is mononymously known as 

. As of December 2024, Paal AI is among the top five leading crypto projects in the AI agents niche, with a market cap exceeding $280 million.

Paal AI Studio is a web application that provides a user-friendly interface for interacting with its diverse range of AI tools. It has four primary modes: MyPaal, Explore, Creative Lab and Agents.

The first mode, MyPaal, allows you to create AI bots with personalized knowledge bases and traits. Bots created via this mode can be used for custom applications and business processes requiring specific domain knowledge.

The second mode, the aptly named Explore, lets you browse through and select pre-built AI solutions that fit specific business needs. You can choose a suitable solution and use it out of the box, or configure it to better suit your specific task automation requirements.

Creative Lab mode provides AI tools to help you create content using images and video. This capability may be useful for creators whose content requirements involve rich media beyond textual information.

The last mode, Agents, lets you easily create and deploy 

 for various task automation and workflow optimization purposes.

MyPaalBot is an AI service that lets you create your personalized bot to carry out various tasks, including delivering information on the crypto market, trading automation and more. You can create your own personalized bot through the Paal AI Studio interface, and customize it for specific domains and tasks.

MyPaal can interact with users such as online community members, automate processes and integrate into platforms like Telegram and the Paal AI Web Widget. Bots created with MyPaalBot can engage in discussions with you, just like the ubiquitously popular 

. However, the difference between Paal-based bots and ChatGPT is that you can customize the former for specific domains, including cryptocurrency and trading, while the latter is simply a general-purpose chat bot, albeit a powerful one.

PaalX is the platform's solution for AI-powered crypto trading. It offers models, automated trading strategies and tools to help traders at all experience levels. Using PaalX, you can place manual orders, set up AI agents to execute automatic trades, track specific tokens using AI-based tracking tools, analyze the crypto market and access trading alerts.

In addition to its trading tools, PaalX offers access to a knowledge base and an FAQ section, as well as the opportunity to engage with other platform users via Telegram.

PaalX's user-friendly interface allows you to specify your manual order configuration in great detail, with options to set key parameters, such as trade sizes based on the percentage of available balance, the percentage of gain to close an order for take-profit and stop-loss levels based on token price fluctuations, and maximum tolerable 

If you'd like to automate your trading, PaalX lets you easily set up an AI agent, specify basic parameters — and then sit back and let your AI trading assistant execute your prespecified strategies.

Ask.Paal is an AI chatbot that delivers market insights, in addition to real-time analytics for cryptocurrency and blockchain projects and assets. You can ask it anything related to the crypto market or blockchain industry, or browse the featured projects listed on its interface for more in-depth information.

Ask.Paal offers the user a choice between different large language models (LLMs), such as PaalGPT, IBM

 and others. You can experiment with different LLMs to select the one that provides the most robust crypto research and fits your preferences in terms of its conversational style and knowledge.

There are also plugins available for Ask.Paal to extend its base functionality. Some of the more interesting plug-ins include Narratives Plugin, a tool to explore or create community-validated narratives about the crypto market or hot crypto trends; Voice Output, which allows Ask.Paal to respond to your queries in voice rather than text; and Image Search, which delivers infographics and visuals related to specific crypto projects or assets.

Audit.Paal is a solution to help you audit specific tokens and smart contracts for research and fraud detection purposes. Your personal AI agent scans the projects and assets you specify to identify issues like potential honeypots, 

 prevalent in the cryptocurrency world. For each token you query, Audit.Paal provides comprehensive analytics related to token permissions and potential vulnerabilities. You can also access your audit history and pending audits for efficient audit management.

As of December 2024, Audit.Paal is capable of scanning and analyzing assets on Ethereum, 

. Paal AI also provides an API to help developers integrate Audit.Paal into their platforms.

Deploy.paal is a service that lets AI model developers rent GPU processing capacity from the Paal AI platform on a flexible, per-use basis to train AI models and run AI algorithms. Training and running AI models often requires significant processing power, especially considering the ever-increasing user demands on AI-supported functionality. The amount of data typically used for model training and inferences is substantial. At the same time, hardware processing capacity is quickly becoming a scarce resource.

Using Deploy.paal, developers can access significant GPU capacity on a flexible and affordable basis to train and run their AI models. The platform offers two primary machine instances via the cloud to run GPU-intensive tasks: g4dn.xlarge and g4dn.2xlarge. One hour of processing by these machines costs $0.07 and $0.10, respectively. Developers pay only for the amount of time they utilize these resources; there are no lock-in contracts or initial setup fees, making Deploy.paal a convenient and cost-effective way to train and run AI algorithms.

Deploy.paal users can also scale their machines up and down anytime, depending on their current capacity requirements. Overall, Deploy.paal is probably among the most flexible GPU renting services in the 

 (NFT) collections for its user community. In August 2023, during the platform's first months of operation, Paal AI released the free Beta Bots collection, consisting of 213 NFTs, each dedicated to a step or milestone in the evolution of AI. Initially, the NFTs were distributed to community members for free, though they’ve since become available for purchase on the secondary market through 

The second collection, PaalX Bots, was released in March 2024 and consists of 1,000 items, each one opening access to a range of benefits and perks on the platform. PaalX Bots NFT holders can enjoy various benefits, such as trading on PaalX with no transaction fees, earning a share of trading volume revenues and accessing advanced trading options. NFTs from this collection are also available on the secondary market through OpenSea.

The platform's native cryptocurrency, PAAL, is an 

 token issued on the Ethereum blockchain. PAAL mainly provides access to AI products, agents and various functions on the platform. It can also be used to unlock special features or qualify for reward distributions.

The PAAL token is supply-capped, with a total and maximum supply specified at 1 billion.

Another key functionality of the PAAL token is 

. PAAL stakers can earn competitive APY rates by locking their funds in the platform's staking pools.

As of the time of this writing (Dec 26, 2024), you can select three staking periods — 14, 28 and 56 days, with the longer commitment periods offering higher APY rates. Currently, the platform offers APYs of 3%, 10% and 15% for 14-, 28- and 56-day staking periods, respectively.

The project funnels any token buybacks of PAAL into its staking pools to boost reward rates and earnings for stakers.

The PAAL token is available on Bybit's Spot market as a 

As of Dec 26, 2024, the PAAL token is trading at $0.3385, or 60.7% lower than its ATH of $0.8598 on Mar 10, 2024, and 737,122% higher than its ATL of $0.00004587 on Jul 24, 2023.

Long-term price forecasts for PAAL are bullish. DigitalCoinPrice 

 $0.81 in 2025 and $2.32 in 2030, while CoinCodex 

 that the token will trade at $1.507 in 2025 and $1.319 in 2030.

You might consider investing in the PAAL token based on the following factors:

Naturally, before investing in PAAL or any other cryptocurrency, you’re encouraged to do your own 

AI and ML technologies are currently fueling massive growth in the cryptocurrency industry. A cursory look at crypto market data reveals that AI-linked coins are currently among the most popular assets, attracting investors who aren't shy of risk in search of high rewards. Since its launch in mid-2023, Paal AI has steadily gained its footing among the top crypto projects dedicated to the AI agents subsector. As we move into 2025, the platform's comprehensive set of AI products and services will be its key differentiation point, potentially helping it cement its place among the most popular AI cryptocurrencies.

The PAAL token is currently off the head-spinning heights it climbed to earlier in 2024, a development that’s quite characteristic of many other AI cryptos. While this indicates that the wild, unbridled enthusiasm for these assets is receding, overall interest in these cryptocurrencies will likely remain strong, albeit at more realistic and objectively justified levels. 

With interest in AI — particularly AI agents — expected to thrive in the years to come, Paal AI has every chance to solidify its already respectable market position.

Streamflow (STREAM): Simplifying Token Distribution for Projects

Our weekly crypto derivatives analytics report delves into macro events, the current state of crypto and trading signals from spot trading volume, and futures, options and perpetual contracts.

December's end-of-year options expiration is poised to be significant, with over $525 million in options contracts set to expire this Friday (Dec 27, 2024) for BTC and ETH. However, volatility expectations remain low and have been more responsive to recent spot price movements. Realized volatility has surged as spot prices fluctuate within their recent range, yet short-term options haven’t kept pace with this increase. 

While ETH's volatility structure has inverted, BTC's hasn’t reacted similarly after the recent U.S. elections. Additionally, funding rates across cryptocurrencies have shifted into a new market phase, occasionally dipping into negative territory alongside declines in spot prices. In terms of perpetuals , funding rates have moved from neutral to intermittently negative, aligning with spot price movements. Meanwhile, among options, BTC's volatility structure has been less responsive to spot changes, whereas ETH short-term options are exhibiting significant fluctuations at elevated levels. 

Please check out the report’s highlights.

Market Hasn’t Factored in BTC Options Expirations Volatility 

For the third time this month, spot prices have shown higher realized volatility than that implied by 1-month-tenor constant maturities. Each occurrence has eventually led to a decline in realized volatility, as implied levels have remained relatively stable. Open interest in BTC options continues to be high, contributing to a significant end-of-year options expiration, with approximately $360 million in put and call contracts set to expire. 

This week nearly marked a full inversion of the at-the-money volatility term structure, highlighted by a spike in front-end volatility on Dec 21, 2024. However, the elevated level of realized volatility hasn’t triggered a similar inversion to that seen with ETH.

Realized volatility has surged above implied volatility, as spot prices have fluctuated sharply between $3.2K–$3.6K. After a strong mid-week inversion, the resulting term structure is relatively flat. Despite its changing shape, levels haven’t risen significantly above the range maintained over the past month. As we enter the final week of 2024, open interest remains predominantly in call options, although put options are experiencing the majority of trading activity as the year comes to a close.

Love anime art? Then you'll definitely adore Azuki NFTs and how they're changing the metaverse game.

Blockchain authentication of popular anime-style illustrations has infused the decades-old Japanese art genre with new commercial viability. 

) have taken the NFT world by storm. An anonymous team has combined the NFT phenomenon, anime’s cult-like following, and stunning visuals of ”counter-culture” skateboarders to create the explosive Azuki NFT collections. 

 is a brand created for the metaverse. Its NFT collection consists of 10,000 anime avatars that grant community members access to '”The Garden,” an exclusive virtual world or metaverse where Web3 enthusiasts, artists and builders gather to forge a decentralized future. 

Chiru Labs earns a royalty of 5% of any Azuki NFT resold. 

The project has a few key elements that drive a successful NFT project. The Azuki team has created and nurtured an expressive brand for the metaverse. Here are some of the reasons why Azuki NFTs are ruling the markets right now: 

Anime and manga are well-known cultural exports from Japan. Anime, a Japanese adaptation of the word “animation,” refers to animated content from Japan. They are typically inspired by Japanese comics or ”manga.”

Interest in anime-related content has spread worldwide, as it has become popular with children and adults alike. Characters like Pokémon, Dragon Ball Z and Digimon have been household names since the ’90s. 

With deep pockets and an obsessive interest in anime collectibles, anime fans have readily jumped on the Azuki bandwagon, sending its prices and popularity soaring.

Anime art is instantly recognizable due to its distinctive style. Azuki NFT characters embody the art form with an incredible level of detail in the artwork. Furthermore, the Azuki avatars come in many variations — females and males with different hair types, skin types, etc. Fans can find an avatar among the 10,000 Azuki characters to love. The exquisitely expressed unique traits and the rarity distribution (the presence of specific, unique attributes or traits in each character) make these collections exceptional in the NFT space. The Azuki artists haven’t disappointed.

In addition, the characters’ skateboarder art style screams anti-establishment, which is one reason the project is in huge demand, finding an affinity with like-minded individuals. After all, what could be more anti-establishment than crypto? 

According to the Azuki website, Azuki is “a brand for the metaverse, built by the community.” This repeated emphasis on community isn’t just for sound bites: Azuki recognizes the importance of a vibrant community, and emphasizes community ownership of the project. Community is the lifeblood of any NFT project. The community are the shareholders, the brand evangelists, the users and the soul of the project. Without them, the Azuki project or any NFT project would fizzle out.

Since the launch, the community has grown and currently boasts over 200,000 Twitter followers and 80,000 Discord members. These online social channels are well-moderated and provide a safe space for members to chill out and get to know each other. They also encourage conversation and updates on the project's various activities.

Upcoming Exclusive Streetwear Collaborations

In line with their objective to become the brand for the metaverse, the Azuki team has announced a streetwear collaboration that will feature Azuki clothing, merchandise and accessories. These will be available in "The Garden's" VIP store, only accessible to Azuki NFT owners.

The Garden is Azuki's version of the metaverse, that virtual world where community, art and culture intersect to create magic. According to their website, ”the lines between the physical and digital worlds are blurring, and the rules are being rewritten.”

The Garden will host exclusive streetwear collabs, NFT drops, live events, and more upcoming activities yet to be revealed.

A project is only as good as the team behind it. Any experienced investor — especially one aware of rug pulls that can doom an investment — always scrutinizes a project’s developers, engineers and backers before shelling out money. A high-quality team leads and supports a community. A lackluster team invariably loses support from the community, and the NFT project goes nowhere.

While most of the Azuki team members are anonymous, at least one, steamboy, is well-known in the gaming sector. He was the Character Art Director at Overwatch, a team-based first-shooter game. He worked on the Azuki project as an artist part-time, as well as a co-creator, but has become a full team member. As the lead artist for the high-profile video game, his profile adds credibility to the project.

The other anonymous members of the team are reputed to have extensive experience spanning crypto, gaming and technology. Most of what is known about them are snippets of information gleaned from their social media profiles:

Despite being anonymous, which is a negative for building trust, the team's level of commitment and professionalism seem to stand in for them.

One of the most expensive Azuki NFTs is #9605 and it recently sold for 420.7 ETH (approximately $1.4 million) on March 30, 2022.

For example, Azuki #7749, one of the most expensive in the collection, is a ‘“spirit” type Azuki. It features both the “spirit long” hair and the ‘“golden monk staff,” rare traits which can only be found in 15 of the 10,000 Azukis.

Blue and red types, with a rarity of 4.44% and 4.41%, respectively, have lower average sales prices. Human types, at 90.18%, are the most common, and have an average sale price of 7.86 ETH. 

After the type, the set of attributes of an Azuki NFT is the most significant determinant of its price. These attributes include clothing, neck, golden items and offhand features of 313 Azukis. 

Each Azuki NFT with a golden attribute traded at 28.1 ETH, while NFTs without golden items were sold at 8 ETH. 

Particular traits — Fire, Fireflies, Fox Fire and Sakura — also influence the price of each Azuki NFT. Fireflies (0.88%) and Fire (0.58%) are especially valuable traits that have sold for about 30 ETH each.

The average sale price of each Sakura (0.8%), Smoke (0.81%) and Fox Fire (0.86%) NFT is 15 ETH, or around $40,000. Notably, their average sale price is still higher than ordinary Azuki NFTs with no unique trait (93.71%), which have sold for 7.92 ETH on average.

Both the offhand features (such as Golden Sheathed Katana, Water Orb and Lightning Orb, etc.) and clothing features influence the price of each Azuki NFT. 

The golden Kigurumis are one of the rarest types of attributes, with the Cat (0.05%) being the rarest. Another expensive piece in the Azuki NFT collection is Azukis without clothing (0.05%), selling at an average price of 78.66 ETH.

As a trait, hair has a similar impact as other traits. Azukis with no hair (0.08%), or hair designs specific to a spirit type, have outperformed the rest. Azukis without hair have sold for an average of 30.69 ETH, while Spirit hairs have sold within the range of 42.7–76.5 ETH. 

Fire (0.22%) and Water (0.21%) hairs trade at an average sale price of 29 ETH each. The other hair attributes have sold for between 3.2 ETH and 15.2 ETH.

Red Bean (0.4%) is an ear trait associated with the origin of this brand that's pegged at 27.2 ETH. 

The golden earphone (0.35%) surpasses the neck attributes, with an average sale price of almost 40 ETH.

Compared to the average trading price of the remaining neck attributes, Azuki NFTs with these have netted between 7.65 ETH and 16 ETH.

Fire (0.57%), Glowing (0.78%) and Lightning (0.46%) eyes are outstanding from other eye attributes. Azukis with these three types of eyes have sold for more than 18.4 ETH, while those with other eye traits have netted prices between 6.9 ETH and 12.4 ETH.

The hype surrounding the NFT movement has attracted creators, artists and collectors in large numbers, hoping to cash in on the skyrocketing prices of these digital collectibles.

The Azuki NFT collection joined the trend with a bang, setting an unprecedented sales record in a flash. Starting at an initial price of $3,400 for each token, Azukis now sell for an average of $37,700, with some rarer ones going for more than $500,000. This is by no means cheap! So is this the right time to invest in Azukis? You're probably also wondering if the price has peaked and if there's future potential for further price appreciation. Read on as we discuss the valuation of Azuki NFTs and how you can price them.

NFTs represent volatile assets in the volatile cryptocurrency space. But unlike other digital assets, NFTs are difficult to valuate because they typically have no intrinsic value. Like most artworks, the value of an Azuki NFT is subjective — and only worth as much as people are willing to pay for it. Clearly, hype plays a significant role in determining the value of NFT collections, which makes them a risky investment.

However, an Azuki NFT offers something more than hype — namely utility. As mentioned above, it gives holders membership to The Garden, with plans for a line of streetwear collabs, Azuki merch, NFT drops, live events, and more.

Art collectors also hope that these digital collectibles will appreciate with time, like their real-life counterparts, partly due to their uniqueness and scarcity. Azuki NFTs will delight many art lovers, due to their distinctive style and exquisite craftsmanship. Some buyers do so purely for art's sake, rather than as an investment. 

Azukis have primarily maintained their value, despite tapering after initial giddy heights. The anime trend remains quite popular, especially in Asia.

While these underlying assumptions indicate a bright future for the nascent collection, it’s impossible to determine with any certainty that Azuki NFTs will stand the test of time. 

As with any investment, spend only what you can afford to lose, do your research, and practice caution before buying an NFT.

The Azuki anime-art collection made a grand entrance into the $41 billion NFT market with the objective of becoming a hot brand for the metaverse. So far, the project has lived up to expectations — and it’s just getting started. 

The Azuki team and community are as distinctive as their collection, and have proved to be dynamic, dedicated and innovative. These ingredients have combined to make Azuki a metaverse superstar.
