Phase 2 of Duckai Is Live — Updates Rolling Out!
Big Picture
Phase 2 of DUCKAI has arrived, bringing a wave of new capabilities, an upgraded backend, and new look. The DUCKAI X engine now delivers sharper knowledge retrieval and richer interactions, powered by community generated tools and agents that exist on the OpenPond Network, as the network grows so does the power of DUCKAI. DUCKAI has grown a lot since its inception as a memecoin October of 2024 - and we're excited to be moving to our new handle: @AskDuckai. We set out in the summer of 2024 to build the AI x Crypto experience we know our community and the broader crypto community deserves. Since then much has changed in the AI landscape and across the broader tech industry, crypto has become 'mainstream' if you will, with seemingly every company launching a stablecoin. On top of that every company has some form of AI exposure now, whether it be through MCP servers, chatbots on their homepages or deeper AI integrations like Google's AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol), or the wider acceptance of Coinbase's x402. From the outside the competition for the future of payments on the internet seems squarely with these big tech co's 'protocols', right?
Now those of you who have been in crypto long enough can probably pinpoint 100s of examples of protocols, ERC's and new standards pitched almost weekly it seems. We'll its tenfold in tech dating back to the 90s, people have been making up protocols in the hopes they stick for decades - most never do. What does stick is deep knowledge in a field, practical solutions and timely product releases.
That's why we're excited to continue advancing the needle of what AI and crypto connections can be, not by introducing a new protocol but a new experience to DUCKAI. We've developed the most crypto focused AI solution with OpenPond Network - a smart contract driven public network of agents and tools anyone can join and contribute to, we handle the hosting, generating agent/tool code and accepting payments all in one solution. With this network backing the new DUCKAI updates - you'll be able to ask a question and the results will be crowd sourced to a network of agents tasked with finding you the best answer. While OpenPond is still in beta, we're giving the DUCKAI community the first look and use of the platform to help shape the future of what AI and crypto will be.

The end of 2025 and through 2026 will mark a seminal time for the crypto and AI space. We're seeing the first signs of AI becoming mainstream, and the first signs of crypto becoming mainstream. We're also seeing the first signs of AI becoming more integrated into the fabric of the internet - with this, DUCKAI is well positioned to capture the attention and essence of the AI x Crypto movement.
