Yesterday, @Gaianet_AI officially announced the release of its AI iPhone, the Gaia AI Phone— the first decentralized AI terminal built on the Galaxy S25 Edge, allowing you to run AI Agents even offline: continuous mining and local reasoning. Gaia is transforming AI from a chat tool into an "on-chain actor": capable of trading, governance, and assisting you in decision-making.
Let's first take a look at the market data: Gaia has already attracted 700,000 real node users, completed 17 trillion AI inferences, and secured $20 million in funding endorsements.
Why do I believe the Gaia AI Phone is a key piece in the Web3 phone puzzle?
In the past few years, Web3 phones have explored various directions: Solana Saga emphasizes payment and NFT experiences; Ethereum Phone aims to create a decentralized operating system with ethOS.
They are all trying to fill a corner of the Web3 phone puzzle, but there has always been one missing piece— the actionability of AI.
The Gaia AI Phone fills this gap: it makes AI more than just a conversational tool; it becomes your portable "on-chain secretary," capable of running strategies, managing assets, and participating in DAO voting, even functioning offline because it runs locally on the phone rather than on centralized cloud servers; at the same time, the phone itself acts as a Gaia network node, ensuring privacy while contributing computing power.
Even better, it is not going solo. Coinbase, EigenLayer, Base, ai16z, and others are collaborating with it to clearly outline the puzzle's framework: development tools, verification mechanisms, and application implementation.
When one day in the future these pieces come together, we will see the true complete form of the Web3 phone.
Why do I say Gaia is building the foundation for AgentFi?
Today's AI can only chat with you; today's Web3 phone is merely an entry point. However, what Web3 users truly lack is not a chatbot. They need an AI that can execute tasks, run strategies, and manage assets.
At the same time, the intelligent evolution of DeFi is a long journey, from trigger-based "Automation" to understanding instructions but lacking autonomy "Copilot," and finally to the "AI Agent" with perception, reasoning, and on-chain autonomous execution capabilities.
What Gaia is doing is building the infrastructure for rapidly deploying AI Agents. You are no longer just facing a chat window; you have an AI Agent that can initiate transactions on-chain, participate in DAO voting, and even earn money, collaborate, and govern on its own.
Currently, there are already 58 Agents in the Gaia ecosystem, covering various fields from video generation, copywriting to stock analysis.
In summary, Gaia aims to lay a solid foundation for a decentralized AgentFi economy, enabling everyone in the future to truly utilize, manage, and profit from it. On this foundation will rise a skyscraper of a new world: an interconnected ecosystem driven by autonomous AI Agents.
This track may be early, but the trend of autonomous AI Agents is not to be missed. The Gaia AI Phone is limited to 1,000 units and will also be available for hands-on experience at the upcoming KBW conference.
If you're interested, you can visit the official website to follow the release details and seize this emerging track.

Eigen FAQ
EIGEN has a total supply of 1.67 billion.
EIGEN tokens were initially available to users of the EigenLayer protocol who claimed their share of the tokens’ total supply. The tokens weren’t transferable once claimed, meaning any EIGEN held couldn't be brought or sold. You can obtain EIGEN once the token is listed for spot trading on exchanges.
Currently, one Eigen is worth $1.216. For answers and insight into Eigen's price action, you're in the right place. Explore the latest Eigen charts and trade responsibly with OKX.
Cryptocurrencies, such as Eigen, are digital assets that operate on a public ledger called blockchains. Learn more about coins and tokens offered on OKX and their different attributes, which includes live prices and real-time charts.
Thanks to the 2008 financial crisis, interest in decentralized finance boomed. Bitcoin offered a novel solution by being a secure digital asset on a decentralized network. Since then, many other tokens such as Eigen have been created as well.

Dive deeper into Eigen
EIGEN is a universal intersubjective work token within the EigenLayer protocol. It's called an "intersubjective" token because it's designed to address intersubjective faults in a network. These are faults where there's consistent agreement among the majority of network participants that a malicious act has been committed. As a result, EIGEN helps to secure the network by discouraging inconsistent behaviors.
The EigenLayer protocol allows stakers of ETH, the native token of the Ethereum network, to extend the network's security to other applications across the EigenLayer network through a novel concept known as restaking. Here, ETH stakers can restake their tokens to secure other protocols built on EigenLayer, without the need to build a separate validator set.
How does EIGEN work?
Where ETH is used to secure services or protocols, EIGEN helps to address intersubjective faults that deserve a penalty by introducing intersubjective staking. In this situation, stakers who act outside of the network's rules can be penalized through slashing. Slashing sees individuals lose a quantity of their staked ETH. According to the project, through this approach, the EIGEN token allows the token to be forked without forking the Ethereum mainnet consensus.
EIGEN is also used to secure EigenDA, a data availability layer that supports Ethereum rollups.
Price and tokenomics
Season one of stakedrop claims for the EIGEN token opened on May 10, 2024. Here, 6.05% of the token's total supply of 1.67 billion EIGEN were made available to eligible users. Season one phase two of the stakedrop launched in June 2024, and made a further 0.7% of the total token supply available. According to the project, future seasons will see a further 1.5% of the total EIGEN tokens released.
Alongside the 15% of tokens allocated to stakedrops, 15% will go towards community initiatives, with 15% allocated to ecosystem development. A further 29.5% will be allocated to investors, with 25.5% assigned to early contributors.
All tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will remain fully locked up for one year after the date on which the token first becomes transferrable for the community. After this date, the EIGEN tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will be unlocked at a rate of 4% per month. This means EIGEN held by investors and core contributors won’t be fully unlocked until three years after the date the tokens first become transferable for the community.
About the founders
EigenLayer was founded in 2021 by Sreeram Kannan, a former professor at the University of Washington. Kannan remains as the project's CEO today. EigenLayer is developed by Eigen Labs, a research organization "focused on contributing to protocols that supercharge open innovation on Ethereum", according to the company's official X account.
