Editor's Note: This article was written on January 3rd, when the Buzz token went live and immediately garnered significant trading activity, quickly surpassing a $40 million market cap. Over the next few days, discussions about "DeFAI" became increasingly intense, and today, BUZZ's market cap surpassed $100 million.
This morning, the token BUZZ saw a 75x increase in value within one hour of its token launch. This DeFi agent quickly captured the attention of netizens, who were curious why this AI agent was able to achieve in one hour what other AI agents couldn't achieve in a lifetime, rising to astonishing heights right from the start like a rocket.
At one point, BUZZ's token market cap surged to over $44.66 million in a short amount of time, and the current trading volume has reached $96.1 million. In just 1 hour, it skyrocketed by 75x with a peak increase of 168x. This surge was so intense that it left people speechless and started grabbing people's attention. The token's current market cap still remains at $37.43 million, but the momentum of the surge has not decreased, continuing to attract the market's gaze. There was even a "beekeeper" sniping BUZZ for a $1.25 million profit in just 8 minutes.
One of the main driving forces behind Buzz's meteoric rise is the DeFi agent becoming the focus of the market's attention, attracting more and more investors and users, especially against the backdrop of the rapidly increasing demand for DeFi accessibility. Buzz's value was quickly recognized.
BUZZ's Twitter page, The Hive, is nearly empty, and the official website clearly states that it is a Solana-based, modular, interoperable decentralized finance agent network that simplifies complex DeFi operations through a natural language interface.
In simple terms, it is a platform that helps you easily navigate DeFi, like a super intelligent little bee specifically designed to handle transactions, staking, borrowing, and other complex DeFi operations. You just need to tell it what you want to do through chat commands, and it will automatically take care of it, even constructing customized strategies based on your needs. For example, once you set conditions, it can automatically execute operations when the price changes, and the platform also supports developers adding new features.
The highlight is that Hive AI has also joined the now popular Solana blockchain AI hackathon. It appears to be the first DeFi agent, and with its remarkable token price surge, BUZZ quickly attracted an extremely high market attention. The developer behind it, Jason Hedman, can be described as a "tycoon-level" figure, a typical "good student" representative with a handsome buff. Netizens dug up his record, showing that he has almost taken first place in every project he has participated in.
Jason Hedman holds 5% of the token's total supply. However, to enhance the project's transparency and market trust, he has decided to lock up this portion of the tokens for one year. This move is not only a commitment to investors but also demonstrates the development team's strong confidence in the project's long-term growth.
Another typical example of the rising DeFi agent is T3AI, a project that has quickly made a name for itself in the Solana DeFi agent space through innovative low-collateral loans and automated risk management. Since its spontaneous coin offering, T3AI's market value has surged to 18.58M, with a trading volume exceeding 12.6M. The coin's price has also increased by 100 times, showing a strong upward momentum.
With the hype of the Solana AI hackathon, Hive AI's participation has undoubtedly brought even greater heat and attention to the project. Even the founder of AI16z specifically mentioned in an interview that DeFi agents will be a future trend, especially in the Solana ecosystem. This trend will become increasingly prominent, and the skyrocketing price of the Buzz token directly reflects this trend. Many users entering this field are often unaware of the complex operations of DeFi, and the emergence of agents undoubtedly fills this gap by providing users with convenient tools and automated solutions.

In the recent Solana AI Hackathon, projects from various fields demonstrated significant potential. These innovations are expected to shine in future areas such as DeFi, trading, investment, gaming, and music. Projects in DeFi and trading agents such as boltrade ai, Cod3xOrg, BigTonyXBT, and fengshuiagent are combining AI technology with trading strategies to improve efficiency and help users achieve better performance.
On the other hand, projects like ProjectPlutus and ASYM41b07 are deeply focused on optimizing and securing smart contracts. Agents from different aspects are collectively driving further maturity in the DeFi agent field.
Furthermore, in the agent ecosystem, projects like SolarisAI fun are enhancing operational automation and collaboration between intelligent entities, while socrates agi focuses on the generality of artificial intelligence agents, aiming to solve real-world problems through agents and expand their applications across multiple domains.
