AI All-Star Lineup Joins the Race, Aiccelerate Drives Decentralized Open Source AI Development
Original Article Title: "AI Gold Rush | Aiccelerate DAO: Accelerating Decentralized Open-Source AI Development"
Original Article Author: KarenZ, Foresight News
On January 10th, despite the overall sluggish performance of the Crypto and AI markets, an AI investment and development DAO named Aiccelerate DAO has attracted widespread attention. So what is the charm of this DAO, supported by advisors such as Shaw, co-founder of ai16z, #001 Ethermage, contributor to Virtuals Protocol, and Jason, co-founder of Story Protocol?
What is Aiccelerate DAO?
Aiccelerate DAO is an investment and development DAO focused on accelerating decentralized open-source AI development. It aims to drive innovation by harnessing the power of AI and cryptographic technologies to build an ecosystem that supports and advances decentralized open-source AI projects.
Within this ecosystem, Aiccelerate DAO is dedicated to bringing developers together across multiple technical frameworks to collectively drive the cutting-edge development of AI and blockchain technology.
To achieve this goal, Aiccelerate DAO is building a community of developers aimed at creating a series of AI agents and tools. Through an open, collaborative approach, Aiccelerate DAO hopes to become a hub for the next generation of developers and investors, providing them with comprehensive support including further investment, expanding their networks, and promoting top teams.
In addition, Aiccelerate DAO also plans to release a series of AI agents, with the first project being a public alpha/research agent to help users make wiser, fully transparent judgments.
Aiccelerate DAO Team and Advisory Lineup
Having developed for over two months, Aiccelerate DAO's team members come from top open-source AI teams or have previously worked at Coinbase and ConsenSys. The founding partners of AiccelerateDAO include crypto OG Mark, @cryptopunk7213, @ropirito, among whom Mark previously studied computer science and economics at the University of Pennsylvania and Seoul National University, is currently a member of ai16z's tokenomics group, and is active in the NFT, Crypto x AI, and Meme fields; @cryptopunk7213 worked at Coinbase and ConsenSys; @ropirito is a maintainer and partner at ai16z.
It is worth mentioning that, AiccelerateDAO Founding Partner @ropirito, to show unwavering faith in the project, announced that he would donate all the tokens held by his personal proxy to the DAO treasury and never reclaim them. Additionally, he plans to donate some tokens from his other projects to the DAO treasury as locked funds to further support the project's development.
The advisory team of Aiccelerate DAO is also formidable, structured according to four main categories: development, investment, research, and outreach, inviting members from teams such as ai16z, Virtuals Protocol, Abstract, among others. These advisors will provide advice and resources to Aiccelerate DAO to help it better achieve its development goals.
Aiccelerate DAO Development Advisors: ai16z Co-founder Shaw, Virtuals Protocol Contributor #001 Ethermage, Abstract Contributor cygaar, Playgrounds Co-founder and CEO Tachi, ai16z Partner Jin, open-source AI developer Karan, Nader (EigenLayer), Story Protocol Co-founder Jason.
Aiccelerate DAO Investment Advisors: Mechanism Capital Partner Andrew Kang, Topology Ventures Managing Partner Casey Caruso, Delphi Digital CEO Anil Lulla, Mechanism Capital Partner Marc Weinstein, Delphi Digital Co-founder Tommy Shaughnessy, Justin Lee (Coinbase Ventures).

Aiccelerate DAO Outreach Advisors: Bankless Founder David Hoffman, Bankless Co-founder Ryan Sean Adams, Threadguy (Probably Nothing).
Will AiccelerateDAO Issue Tokens? How to Participate?
Regarding the question of whether AiccelerateDAO will issue tokens and how to participate, the DAO has stated that AiccelerateDAO and all its initiatives will be collectively managed under the AICC token. All DAO partners will benefit in the form of potential future airdrops and investment opportunities. Furthermore, as the Assets Under Management (AUM) of AiccelerateDAO grows, a certain percentage of profits will be used to buy back the AICC token, making AiccelerateDAO a multi-ecosystem Crypto x AI index.
Currently, the AICC token has not been officially released, but the contract address has been announced, and fundraising is open on daos.fun. The fundraising target for AiccelerateDAO is 500 SOL (approximately $94,353), and 378 SOL has been raised so far.
AiccelerateDAO has mentioned that users interested in becoming partners and participating in the presale can express their willingness and how they can help the project through actions such as retweeting, liking, and commenting on tweets. AiccelerateDAO will select suitable partners for participation in the presale based on user engagement and expected contribution level (users may receive invites via Twitter DM).
Summary
Given that the information currently released by AiccelerateDAO is not comprehensive, there are many uncertainties about its future direction. However, based on the endorsements from key team members in the AI and Crypto space, AiccelerateDAO has already garnered broad industry attention. With the collaborative community effort of developers, researchers, and investors, the open-source AI is set to flourish.
