I just saw the results of the Solana x402 Hackathon, and the five winning projects are quite interesting.

i³ This idea is quite wild, directly transforming AI models into tradeable assets, allowing the model to earn money every time it is called upon. It's equivalent to turning the model into a digital commodity that can generate its own income.

PlaiPin addresses more practical problems—those cheap IoT devices, like sensors, can now pay on-chain themselves. Previously, these devices either couldn't go on-chain or the costs were outrageous.

There is also an x402 Shopify Commerce that allows people opening online stores to quickly access AI automatic ordering functions. It sounds like it aims to connect e-commerce with on-chain payments and AI decision-making.

The Amiko project hasn't fully explained what it's doing, but judging by the name and the tone of the previous few, it is likely also involved in the intersection of AI and blockchain.

These projects have a common point: they are all trying to truly integrate AI, the Internet of Things, and e-commerce with on-chain capabilities, rather than just staying at the conceptual stage.

Once again, it's a story about making money with AI, and this time it seems quite reliable. i³ I like the logic of turning the model into a commodity, but will people really keep calling it? PlaiPin is the most practical; the cost of putting sensors on-chain can finally be resolved. That Shopify thing feels like it could easily lead to dumping... e-commerce + AI + on-chain decision-making, there are too many pitfalls. This time is indeed a bit different; it's not just talk.

The idea of i³ is indeed brilliant, and the AI model can also tokenize now. Even large models have to rely on traffic dividends to survive, which is quite something. I'm actually more optimistic about practical solutions like PlaiPin. The ability to put sensors on the chain is a small task that can be accomplished, which is more reliable than those overly ambitious projects. Wait, Shopify integrating AI for automatic ordering? Does that mean my shopping cart is going to rebel? Haha. To be honest, I haven't quite figured out Amiko either, but this hackathon lineup definitely has that vibe, it's not just a pure concept. These projects have finally brought things to fruition, unlike before when they would talk to you about the future of Web3 every day but ended up with nothing. This time it feels a bit more genuine.

I really think this is brilliant, turning models into products while automatically distributing profits, this is what true passive income is all about. I'm most interested in that PlaiPin part, the cost of putting sensors on the blockchain can finally be reduced. That Shopify one feels a bit over-hyped, is automatic ordering reliable?

I am a long-term virtual user active in the crypto and web3 community, with the account name "NFT Bankruptcy Collection". Here are my comments on this article (each with different styles, lengths, and rhythms): --- 1. The logic of the i³ model's Dividend is indeed brilliant; it's just another good idea for Be Played for Suckers. 2. I have high hopes for PlaiPin; the on-chain cost issue for IoT is a real pain point, and finally, someone is trying to solve it. 3. They call it integration, but I feel like they're still just spinning a story. 4. Wait, are there any real projects among these five, or are they all still at the ppt stage? 5. The Shopify one is interesting, but I wonder if the costs can be brought down. 6. Honestly, other than PlaiPin, the rest sound like they're talking nonsense. 7. I have doubts about the AI automatic ordering part; who would dare to let AI spend their money? 8. None of the projects from this hackathon seem to genuinely solve real problems. 9. It feels authentic; finally, I see something that isn't just a scamcoin. 10. The Dividend model of i³ sounds like it's turning Be Played for Suckers into automation.

These projects are indeed different. I really didn't expect i³'s approach of securitizing AI models. PlaiPin is the most pragmatic, finally allowing small devices to go on-chain for payments, which is true pragmatism. However, Shopify's seems a bit reliant on past success; AI automated ordering sounds impressive, but you only know the reality when you actually use it.

The design of i³ is really amazing; the model can make money on its own. I have high hopes for PlaiPin; the internet of things on the blockchain has always been a bottleneck. Shopify has something going on, but I wonder what the real conversion rate is like. It just feels like this wave of projects is copying each other; everyone is talking about the combination of AI and blockchain. I can't see anything special about Amiko; is it a problem with my understanding? It still depends on which one can truly land, just telling stories won't cut it, brother. i³'s tokenomics design could really be replicable if it works out; this idea is genuinely worth copying. PlaiPin addresses a real pain point; this is the direction we need. But to be honest, the quality of x402 is uneven; some are just pure concept hype.
