AI

AI crypto projects combine tokens with services such as computing, model inference, data markets or software agents. Some coordinate independent providers; others are applications that use existing AI tools.

What connects AI and cryptocurrency?

Browse the buying guides

An AI label alone says little about the product. The useful questions are what is being supplied, who pays for it, and why a blockchain or token is needed.

How it works

A token may pay providers, secure a marketplace, reward useful work or govern a protocol. Those mechanisms create different incentives. Systems that reward output also need a way to judge its quality, and that evaluation can be manipulated or depend on a small group of participants. Real customer demand is different from activity funded by emissions. Review working software, service pricing and independent usage evidence rather than treating partnerships, agent counts or a popular narrative as proof of revenue.

Cryptocurrency wallet and keys illustrating secure access and recovery

A little groundwork goes a long way

Before your next purchase or transfer, understand who controls access, where your crypto is going and what the trade will actually cost.

Protect access to your crypto

An exchange account and a self-custody wallet need different safeguards. Protect exchange logins with a unique password and strong two-factor authentication. For self-custody, your recovery backup is what lets you restore access.

Keep recovery words offline and private. A support agent or website asking for them is a reason to stop.

See a recovery example

Your phone breaks. An exchange may help you recover your account after identity checks. A self-custody wallet cannot reset your recovery phrase. Check your wallet’s official backup instructions before relying on it.

Choose the right transfer network

The asset, token version and network must be supported at the destination. A familiar ticker or a matching address format is not enough. Read the receiving platform’s deposit instructions before selecting a withdrawal network.

Check the address, any required memo or tag, fees and minimums. Consider a small test transfer first.

See a network example

Your destination accepts USDC on Ethereum. Selecting a cheaper network at the sending exchange does not make it an Ethereum transfer. Use a network both ends support; an ordinary withdrawal does not bridge tokens.

Understand the price you pay

Trading fees are only part of the cost. The spread, available liquidity and withdrawal charges also matter. A market order prioritizes execution; a limit order controls the price but may remain unfilled or fill only partly.

Check the order preview and the amount you will receive, then compare the full cost of your intended purchase and withdrawal.

Work through a cost example

Hypothetical example: a $200 trade with a 0.1% trading fee costs $0.20 in trading fees. A separate $5 withdrawal fee brings those charges to $5.20. Spread or slippage may add more; these are not quoted exchange rates.
