00:00Today, we want to talk about the top AI data and info FI tokens that every agent investor should understand
00:11in 2026.
00:12So we know that the AI narrative in crypto is starting to evolve again, more or less.
00:18Right. We've gone from models to agents to execution and now entering the next phase, which is data as the
00:25mock.
00:25Right. So because no matter how advanced an AR agent is, it is only as good as the data that
00:32it consumes.
00:33And AR agents rely on this market data, on-chain activity, social sentiment, structured data sets and also real world
00:42inputs.
00:43Right. So if the data is delayed, the agent is late. If it's inaccurate, the agent is wrong.
00:49And if it's manipulated, then the agent is also misled.
00:52So in trading, research and automation, you know, data quality just equals good performance.
00:58Right. If you have high quality data, too.
01:01So that's why the next battle battleground pretty much in the crypto AI space isn't just the compute or the
01:07models.
01:07It is actually, in fact, data, AI infrastructure and the rise of this information finance, InfoFi, right, where you've got
01:17tokenized data, paid APIs, agent accessible data sets in signal marketplaces, real time analytics feeds.
01:25Instead of just free, noisy data, we're moving toward that high quality paid permissioned data stream and increasingly wallet native
01:35data access as well.
01:37Agents paying for that data directly as well.
01:40So at the end of the day, not all data is equal.
01:43The strongest AI data projects actually build models around proprietary data, real time data or network data or just on
01:53-chain data in general, signal intelligence and also access layers.
01:58Right. So today we're looking at the top AI, 11 AI data tokens and InfoFi tokens to watch effectively.
02:06So it's 11 or 10. Right. So these projects represent some of the most important data layer plays in the
02:13AI agent economy.
02:14Number one on our list is Ocean Protocol.
02:17Ocean is a token ticker for the data marketplace where there's data monetization, centralized data sets, AI training, data access.
02:25You can trade this for major exchanges. Check out the links in the description.
02:28Chain link link is the token ticker for data and oracles, real world data feeds, price oracles, off chain information.
02:35And it matters because without that reliable data input, AI agents can't function safely.
02:42Right. So the graph GRTs are the token here on-chain indexing for data, querying blockchain data, indexing on-chain
02:49activity, structured data access, all of that outcome.
02:53ARKM, the intelligence layer, wallet tracking, on-chain intelligence, entity labeling.
02:59Right. Nansen and NSN ecosystem exposure, smart money data, basically wallet labeling, smart money tracking, behavioral analytics and so much
03:12and more.
03:12And you've got sentiment, SAN, behavioral on-chain data, social sentiment.
03:20And then there you've got on-chain metrics, you've got market signals as well.
03:24You've got unusual whales, which is an ecosystem tool that you can use, right, for real time market signals.
03:30You've got June analytics, which is an ecosystems layer here where it enables these custom dashboards and on-chain data
03:38visualizations.
03:39Then you've got Covalent, CQT, the ticker, unified data API, multi-chain data access, unified APIs and so forth.
03:48Then you've got RSS3, right, on open information layer, focusing on open data indexing, Web3 information feeds and also decentralized
03:58content.
03:59Streamer is the last one we were looking at here as one of the project data as a token ticker
04:04for this one, real-time data streams, live data streaming, decentralized data pipelines and real-time feeds.
04:12So at the end of the day, you know, which data models are investable?
04:15It will all depend on models that can focus on monetizing the data, serving AI agents, providing that unique value
04:22and enabling automation and scaling with demand.
04:25So if you want to get started with any of these tools or any of these projects, all the links
04:31will be in the description.
04:31I'll leave the link to the full guide that is on our main site, centralize.news, like, share, subscribe, turn
04:38on the notifications, the home of AI and DeFi.
04:41Peace.
