- Stacks enables smart contracts and DeFi on Bitcoin with full settlement secured by Bitcoin Layer 1 hashpower.
- Bittensor builds a decentralized AI marketplace where machine learning models exchange value and earn rewards using the TAO token.
- AstraAI merges AI and blockchain with DeFi access, financial services, and automated tools for individual and institutional applications.
New digital platforms are increasing their utility across industries by merging blockchain with artificial intelligence and media infrastructure. Stacks, Bittensor, AstraAI, and Theta Network are four projects applying blockchain in distinct sectors, offering decentralized systems with functional value.
Stacks(STX): Secures Smart Contracts Using Bitcoin Hashpower
Current price:$0.6351
Market cap;$966.09M
Stacks introduces a smart contract layer that operates directly with Bitcoin’s security. Its consensus mechanism, Proof of Transfer, and Clarity language allow it to interact with Bitcoin’s full state. Every transaction on Stacks is hashed and finalized on the Bitcoin Layer 1, requiring a Bitcoin reorganization to reverse activity. This model unlocks significant BTC capital and extends smart contract functionality to the Bitcoin network.
Bittensor(TAO): Facilitates AI Model Collaboration via Blockchain
Current price:$966.24M
Market cap;$2.14B
Bittensor enables machine learning models to collaborate in a decentralized framework. Models contribute knowledge to the network and are rewarded with TAO tokens. The open-source protocol forms a trustless AI marketplace where participants can refine or extract outputs. This system promotes efficient AI innovation without reliance on centralized servers.
AstraAI(ASTRA): Offers AI-Based Financial and Marketing Solutions
Current price:$0.5865
Market cap;$5.28M
AstraAI blends AI with blockchain across services such as AstraBank, AstraChain, and AstraDEX. The platform supports financial operations and DeFi participation through the $ASTRA token. It also deploys AI tools like automated marketing solutions and chatbots for users. The revenue model includes subscriptions and transaction fees.
Theta(THETA): Enhances Web3 Infrastructure for Media and AI Workloads
Current price:$0.7449
Market cap;$744.83M
Theta Network is structured for decentralized content and data services. It operates two layers: the Theta Blockchain for rewards and staking, and Theta Edge for computing and delivery. Its infrastructure supports video and AI processes, targeting lower operational costs. Partnerships include major firms like Google and Samsung.
