Holdstation Introduces AI Agent Launchpad with $2M Grant on ZKsync
Singapore, Singapore, December 15th, 2024
Holdstation has launched A(i)gentFi, an innovative platform designed to enable the creation, management, and monetization of autonomous AI agents. As the first AI agent Hub on ZKsync, A(i)gentFi aims to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, supporting a new wave of decentralized applications and user-focused solutions.
What is A(i)gentFi?
A(i)gentFi is a one-stop shop on ZKsync dedicated to the creation and development of AI agents —autonomous AI entities capable of performing complex tasks such as trading, market analysis, and content creation. These agents operate without human intervention, making them powerful tools for innovation in decentralized finance and beyond.
Represented by the iconic green apple, A(i)gentFi positions themselves as the “agent of all AI agents,” prioritizing real-world applications such as DeFi automation, yield farming, and tokenized AI ownership. By focusing on these areas, A(i)gentFi offers both developers and users practical and impactful solutions to drive AI and blockchain adoption.
What Sets A(i)gentFi Apart?
A(i)gentFi distinguished themselves from platforms like Virtuals.io by adopting a DeFi-first approach. While Virtuals.io focuses on gaming and entertainment, A(i)gentFi emphasizes utility, scalability, and efficiency in areas such as:
- DeFi Automation: Streamlining complex DeFi processes for enhanced user experience.
- Revenue Sharing: Implementing mechanisms that reward participants and foster sustainable ecosystem growth.
- Tokenized AI Ownership: Allowing users to co-own AI agents, fostering innovation and collaboration.
In addition, A(i)gentFi incorporates an innovative fee-sharing mechanism, enabling HOLD token stakers to benefit from platform activities. This approach fosters sustainable growth while incentivizing participation across the ecosystem.

The Role of HOLD in A(i)gentFi
HOLD, Holdstation’s governance token, serves as the backbone of A(i)gentFi, ensuring seamless integration and growth within the platform. Key features include:
- Governance: Enabling holders to shape platform decisions and policies.
