Gauntlet founder calling out AI agents for what they really are: meme coins with extra steps.
The hype cycle peaked fast. Everyone rushed to slap "AI agent" on their token, but most had zero real utility. No alpha generation. No autonomous trading edge. Just narrative farming.
The first wave of trading agents? Overpromised, underdelivered. They couldn't adapt to volatile market conditions or execute complex strategies. Most were glorified bots with a ChatGPT wrapper.
Real AI agents need:
- Actual on-chain execution capability
- Adaptive learning from market data
- Transparent performance metrics
- Clear value accrual to token holders
Until then, it's just another rotation play. Trade the narrative, don't marry the bags.
