Back in 2023, Sam Altman said AI could change life more than electricity. Elon Musk went further, calling it the biggest threat to humanity, and then built his own company, xAI. As GPT models from OpenAI became widely used, it became obvious: AI isn’t a side story anymore, it’s center stage.
Now, in 2025, crypto is catching up fast. The concept that blockchain can make AI fair, open, and reward-driven is no longer just talk. It’s taking shape. Filecoin (FIL), Injective (INJ), and Unstaked (UNSD) show very different ideas of how this tech merge could work.
But only one of them is preparing to launch real AI agents before the trend hits full speed.
Filecoin (FIL): A Data Storage Backbone for AI
Filecoin has existed for years, but its role has grown again thanks to AI’s rise. As massive models like GPT-5 expand, there’s a growing need for safe, decentralized storage. Filecoin offers that by storing model files, training data, and user logs without relying on central servers.
The project recently joined hands with several AI-focused labs to store data like training sets and inference history using its IPFS system. This adds a new layer of relevance. Still, Filecoin remains focused on backend storage, not tools that users or builders can interact with directly.
So far, FIL is mostly about keeping data safe rather than powering AI interactions.
Injective (INJ): AI-Driven Tools for On-Chain Traders
Injective has become a key name in DeFi on Cosmos and is now building AI-driven trading tools. With its fast order book system and friendly setup for developers, it’s helping bring machine learning into on-chain trading strategies.
In early 2025, the team revealed plans for AI-based modules that can run self-learning trading bots. These could reshape how DeFi works, offering what many call “automated finance.” Users who hold INJ can use and guide these tools through governance and staking.
However, Injective still leans toward the finance side, not tools made for general users or online communities. It works best for traders and coders, not everyday Web3 users.
Unstaked (UNSD): Web3 AI Agents for Daily Use
Unlike Filecoin and Injective, which focus on tech layers and finance, Unstaked is building something usable by everyone. It introduces AI agents that run inside platforms like X and Telegram. These agents can post content, welcome new users, manage chats, and boost communities without human help.
What separates it is the Proof of Intelligence system. Every move by these agents, comments, greetings, and content, is logged and judged on-chain. They only earn UNSD if they meet performance rules. This brings fairness and traceability to AI behavior.
Since AI is expected to touch every Web3 task from chat moderation to content writing, Unstaked is offering a ready-to-use tool for teams and creators wanting help managing communities without losing control.
The project is in stage 7 of its crypto presale, with UNSD priced at $$0.00776 and nearly $3.1 million raised. A $20 million liquidity pool is already planned for Q3, and full AI agent access will be released once the protocol launches post-listing.
There are no VC handouts or unclear timelines. The platform is built to solve one of the hardest parts of Web3, scaling community activity.
Summing Up!
AI and crypto are now crossing paths in powerful ways. AI needs open systems, storage, and public validation. Crypto needs smarter systems, faster actions, and tools that work. Together, they create something stronger.
Filecoin is becoming essential for storing massive AI data. Injective is blending AI with DeFi innovation. But Unstaked stands out by offering something people can actually use soon, agents that earn, respond, and grow in public. As stated in the project paper, these agents will activate once the token officially launches.
While tech leaders discuss what AI means for the future, crypto fans are looking at what’s ready now. In May 2025, Unstaked could be the name worth remembering.
