They explore how frameworks like Ai16z’s Eliza are accelerating multi-chain agent deployment, why Zerebro’s creative moves are redefining cultural impact, and how Virtuals’ relentless shipping is driving explosive onchain fee generation.

0:00.0 | Right now, we're focused on building these individual agents. Oh, that agent made me laugh. Oh, cool, |
0:04.8 | that agent is giving me great financial alpha. Oh, that agent is like trading back and forth. |
0:09.3 | Very cool. But I think the bigger picture needs to focus on what happens when these agents start |
0:13.8 | interacting with each other, autonomously 24-7. |
0:25.6 | Welcome Bankless Nation to the AI roll-up, where we covered the recent news developments and drama in the intersection of crypto and AI and EJAS. This is the first AI roll-up of the year. |
0:31.6 | We are not sleeping because AIs, they don't sleep. We are recording the morning of January 1st because |
0:36.6 | this world does not stop. |
0:39.6 | Ejazz, you are really excited to do this episode. I am now just tapping back into the internet |
0:45.5 | for the first time in a couple weeks. So I'm going to need you to download me on what's been going on |
0:50.6 | because I actually don't really know too much, which I think is perhaps useful to come into this episode pretty dry. How you doing? Happy New Year, my man. Happy New Year, dude. |

1:14.9 | Have permission to put down your phone? |
1:17.5 | Put down your phone, you know, not look at a screen 24-7. |
1:21.0 | And I can safely say that I think I've had the least amount of sleep over the last two weeks. |
1:27.7 | Turns out that the AI agent meta decided to just go on an absolute rocket and ship all |
1:34.1 | the important stuff whilst no one was looking and right up until the end of the year. |
1:39.2 | So absolutely insane and I'm excited to get into a bunch of things today. |
1:42.8 | I feel like that's just the clear sign of exuberance, excitement, euphoria, accelerated |
1:50.0 | building, just something's going on over here. |
1:53.0 | It's probably a little bit bubbly, but at the end of the day, I think high energy, high energy. |
