Animoca Brands has teamed up with Ethoswarm to introduce a new way for everyday users to access agentic AI. The two companies announced the launch of Animoca Minds, a service designed to remove technical and hardware barriers that have limited participation in the emerging agentic economy.
Good to Know
Animoca Brands and Ethoswarm, built by CryptoSlam, said Animoca Minds enables users to deploy persistent AI agents that operate continuously in the cloud. Powered by the Ethoswarm protocol, the service removes the need for local infrastructure, command line tools, or custom scripts, opening agent based software to a much wider audience.
Animoca Minds uses existing base frameworks to let users awaken a personalized AI agent with its own identity, memory, and cognition. These agents remain active as ongoing services rather than single session tools. The approach is meant to lower the entry point into the agentic web, where participation often requires technical expertise or dedicated hardware.
The platform presents a white label experience focused on simplicity. Instead of starting with a blank terminal, users select from predefined agent profiles built for practical use cases. Examples include a market researcher that delivers real time industry insights or a crypto scout that tracks emerging Web3 projects and protocols. The goal is to help users build familiarity with agentic AI while keeping interactions safe and manageable.
Blockchain supports the identity and economic layers of Animoca Minds, but those mechanics are largely hidden from view. Users interact with their agents using natural language through email and Telegram, with additional messaging platforms planned. The abstraction of blockchain complexity aims to make the experience feel familiar, even as agents operate with on chain capabilities.
Randy Wasinger, founder and chief executive of CryptoSlam, said:
“Ethoswarm was built to ensure that AI agents are persistent, sovereign, and safe. However, the true potential of this technology is only realized when it reaches the hands of everyday users. By partnering with Animoca Brands, we are able to abstract away the complexity of the infrastructure layer. We are thrilled to power Animoca Minds, proving that you don’t need hardware to steward a powerful, persistent AI – you just need the right framework.”
Mohamed Ezeldin, head of Animoca Labs at Animoca Brands, added:
“We are moving past the phase where true AI agency was reserved for engineers and private servers. Our goal is to democratize access to innovation by leveraging robust base frameworks that allow anyone to launch a persistent sovereign agent seamlessly. We view Animoca Minds as a guided journey; we are stripping away the technical complexity so that ‘Awakening’ your own specialist AI agent becomes as simple as signing up for a service. We want to give everyone the same powerful tools for digital leverage that were previously available only to the tech-savvy.”
Yat Siu, co founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said:
“For decades, software has required us to adapt to its learning curves. AI agents flip that relationship around: the agent adapts to you by learning your context and helping you perform actions while amplifying your judgment. We’re absolutely thrilled to launch Animoca Minds together with Ethoswarm and CryptoSlam. Blockchain provides AI with true agency: it provides ownership, settlement, and a native way to transact in tokenized goods and services. When agents can work through familiar channels like email or messaging, they can also make on-chain activity feel more natural than manually managing wallets and transactions.”
Animoca Minds is positioned as an on ramp to the agentic economy, where persistent AI agents operate on behalf of users across digital environments. Early access registration is now open at animocaminds.com.
