-- AULONG AGENT has officially been selected as one of the first projects in Animoca Brands’ Minds Investment Programme / Minds AI Agent ecosystem fund of up to $10 million, and has launched the first phase of ecosystem integration. As an AI Agent focused on the global agent economy, AULONG will work with the Minds ecosystem across areas including on-chain identity, task orchestration, multi-agent collaboration, secure execution, and asset settlement.
AULONG Foundation said the selection was based on its confirmation as one of the first projects in the Minds ecosystem fund and the subsequent integration arrangements. According to previously disclosed information from Animoca Brands, the Minds Investment Programme has a total scale of up to $10 million and is designed for early-stage teams building AI Agent applications and infrastructure based on Animoca Minds. Selected projects will receive access to Minds platform support, Cognition Credits, technical team integration, and potential connectivity with Animoca Brands’ Web3 portfolio network of more than 600 companies and projects.
AULONG emphasized that the disclosure refers to its selection as one of the first projects in the Minds ecosystem fund, and does not represent a single financing amount. Moving forward, AULONG AGENT will conduct technical and scenario-based integration with the Minds ecosystem around on-chain identity, task orchestration, multi-agent collaboration, secure execution, and asset settlement.
The selection comes at a key moment as Animoca Brands continues to reshape the narrative around the next stage of the metaverse. At the recently held Consensus Miami 2026, Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, delivered a keynote speech. Siu said the next phase of the metaverse may no longer be primarily driven by humans entering immersive virtual spaces, but by large numbers of AI Agents carrying out transactions, payments, bookings, coordination, and commercial activities behind the scenes on blockchain networks. He also predicted that 50 billion to 100 billion AI Agents could operate across the internet in the future, with blockchain serving as the financial and identity infrastructure for these agents.

This view has placed on-chain identity, payment, settlement, and collaboration capabilities for AI Agents at the center of Web3 infrastructure competition. Instead of requiring ordinary users to directly deal with wallets, gas fees, and complex smart contracts, future blockchain adoption may increasingly be driven by AI Agents acting on behalf of individuals, enterprises, assets, and applications to carry out continuous operations, thereby lowering the barrier for users to enter on-chain systems.
AULONG is positioned as an AI Agent Orchestration Layer for the global agent economy. In AULONG’s vision, every user, enterprise, digital asset, game character, virtual IP, RWA asset, and on-chain application could have its own AI Agent. These agents would no longer merely respond passively to instructions, but would be able to proactively complete tasks, initiate collaboration, call tools, participate in transactions, and receive settlement based on contribution within authorized parameters.
This direction is highly aligned with Animoca Minds’ definition of persistent AI Agents. Animoca previously stated that Minds is designed to allow users to deploy and operate persistent AI Agents with identity, memory, and cognitive capabilities, while blockchain provides the identity, economic, and provenance layers. Building on this foundation, AULONG aims to further advance the economic and networked development of AI Agents, enabling agents not only to execute tasks, but also to participate in on-chain value flows and ecosystem collaboration.
AULONG’s selection as one of the first projects in Animoca Brands’ Minds ecosystem fund of up to $10 million is not merely an ecosystem collaboration, but also an important step in AULONG’s development of an AI Agent orchestration layer. Going forward, AULONG will focus on how agents can be authorized, orchestrated, securely executed, and settled on-chain.
Following the selection, AULONG will prioritize the integration of Agent infrastructure across Web3 applications, blockchain gaming assets, digital copyrights, RWA, DeFi, virtual labor, and the open metaverse. The project will also continue to release updates on its technical roadmap, ecosystem collaboration progress, and first AI Agent scenario demonstrations.
Industry observers believe that if the previous stage of the open metaverse was centered on digital asset ownership and circulation, the next stage will focus on enabling assets, identities, and applications to gain continuous operational capabilities. AULONG’s entry into the first cohort of the Animoca Minds ecosystem fund signals that AI Agent orchestration and on-chain settlement infrastructure are becoming a new competitive focus in Web3.
