TL;DR
- Animoca Brands and CryptoSlam launch Animoca Minds, a cloud service with persistent AI agents.
- Each agent has its own blockchain wallet, identity, and memory, operating autonomously.
- Users interact with agents via natural language through email and Telegram.
Animoca Brands and CryptoSlam, using the Ethoswarm protocol, launched Animoca Minds on 2026-02-05, a cloud-based service that provides persistent AI agents with blockchain-enabled wallets, identity and memory, the companies said. The offering aims to simplify deployment of agentic AI for non‑technical users while allowing agents to perform on‑chain actions and cryptographic settlements.
The move matters for product teams, institutional investors and compliance officers because it ties agentic AI directly to digital-asset ownership and automated on‑chain transactions, expanding the kinds of operational and custody questions organisations must address.
How the service is structured
According to Animoca Brands and CryptoSlam, Animoca Minds hosts “always on” AI agents in the cloud so users do not need local servers or specialised hardware. Each agent is provisioned with a blockchain-powered wallet and an identity layer, enabling cryptographically coordinated settlements and clear digital ownership while abstracting blockchain complexity from everyday interactions.
Interaction is available through natural language channels. The announcement said users can communicate with agents via email and Telegram, with additional messaging integrations planned. The partners presented the platform as a white‑label product, intended to be embedded in broader workflows rather than used only as a stand‑alone consumer app.
Use cases, roles and company voice
Animoca Minds ships with predefined agent profiles aimed at practical tasks, the companies said. Those roles cover both personal productivity and Web3‑specific workflows:
- Market researchers delivering real‑time industry insights.
- Crypto scouts that surface emerging Web3 applications and protocols.
- Financial assistants for tracking cryptocurrencies and managing digital assets.
- Personal assistants for scheduling, email handling and social‑media filtering.
Yat Siu, co‑founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, framed the product around composable agent utility, writing that Animoca Minds provides “a supportive AI agent with its own wallet powered by blockchain” and positioning wallet integration as central to the product’s value.
Randy Wasinger, founder and CEO of CryptoSlam and Ethoswarm, emphasised persistence and safety of the agents in commentary included in the launch coverage. Mohamed Ezeldin, head of Animoca Labs, was listed among the operational leads for the initiative.
