🤖 Three Teams Building DeAI Infrastructure
**Chapter 8 of Guild on 0G** highlights three projects building foundational infrastructure for decentralized AI: - **@opus_genesis** - AI identity solutions - **@_KultGames** - Gaming integration - **@sc0peon0g** - Trading mechanisms These teams are creating the **core building blocks** for how AI will operate onchain - focusing on identity, data management, and interaction protocols. The approach emphasizes that **no single killer app** will define decentralized AI. Instead, success depends on robust foundational infrastructure that enables AI agents to live, play, and trade effectively in blockchain environments.
