Why Dash Could Be the Top Performing Altcoin in 2021

Published

on

Dash (DASH) is a cryptocurrency targeting the digital cash use case designed to offer everyone financial freedom. The payments-focused coin continues to see increased adoption as it facilitates the sending and receiving of payments swiftly and securely with near-zero fees.  

Since it launched in 2014, the crypto has seen steady growth in value, hitting an all-time high of $1540 in Dec 2017 according to CoinMarketCap. 

Dash developers built this coin based on the blockchain tech deployed by Bitcoin. However, it offers advanced functionality such as much higher transaction speeds than Bitcoin because it leverages a unique model that involves masternodes, incentivized nodes which perform special functions for the network.

Another improvement on Bitcoin is that Dash transactions can optionally be mixed making all coins equal and fungible and more difficult to trace, making them safe for consumers to use to purchase goods and services without sensitive data exposure.

The popular payments coin boasts a self-funding model that enables the network to fund any necessary improvements on the Dash technology. It also has a self-governing model that makes for a truly decentralized experience for users who can vote on any upgrades/alterations to the network’s core functionality, as well as funding projects and initiatives.

Dash has introduced a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) mechanism that allows users to vote on critical decisions that determine the project’s direction.  

Dash Has the Edge Over Other Cryptocurrencies

Dash integrates a host of powerful features that give it an edge over other crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Litecoin. 

For one, the Dash cryptocurrency blockchain builds on the bitcoin system to introduce masternodes that complement miners’ work. The growing team of Dash masternodes is primarily responsible for enhancing the network’s security and facilitating transaction mixing (PrivateSend). 

This PrivateSend service enhances privacy in the Dash ecosystem, making it difficult to track transactions or find out users’ identities and balances, protecting them from risk of becoming a target for criminal activity such as theft and extortion. This feature is built into network infrastructure itself and is a massive advantage that Dash offers over the completely public Bitcoin ecosystem, which must rely on third-party services to protect consumers.

The network also rewards masternodes for ensuring that Dash transactions are as instant as cash transactions (InstantSend). Masternodes are also in charge of the governance and treasury system.

Dash solves the inherent problem of wide consumer adoption of Bitcoin with its InstantSend feature. It takes about 10 minutes for a BTC transaction to get confirmed under ideal circumstances, an issue that threatens to derail the mass adoption of the top crypto for everyday payments. 

On the other hand, Dash transactions are almost instant; on average, a transaction is confirmed by the masternode network in under 2 seconds using InstantSend, with a transaction becoming entirely permanent and irreversible within about 2.5 minutes thanks to the ChainLocks advanced security feature

Therefore, Dash improves on the Bitcoin network’s scalability by prioritizing on-chain scaling facilitated by a seamless and fully-incentivized infrastructure, with university research conducted specially for Dash showing that the network can handle transaction loads comparable to what modern payment networks such as VISA can handle today.

Why You Should Invest in the Dash Cryptocurrency

The price of Dash has skyrocketed by almost 40% in the last week, making it one of the best performing crypto assets at the moment. 

As a result of that surge, Dash currently has a market cap of over $1.6 billion as per data from CoinMarketCap. At the time of writing, the top payments-focused coin is up 11.3% to trade at $232.

               DASH/USD Chart By TradingView

The recent spike in the DASH/USD pair has excited the crypto community on Twitter, with one user calling for the price to soar as high as $1,000. 

Per the latest report from the Dash Core Group, the Dash cryptocurrency posted impressive growth in 2020. The blockchain network saw the total volume of payments reach $916 million, up 80% from 2019.

The Q4 2020 results highlighted a massive growth in average trade volumes from $9.8M to $37.4M, representing a 282% year-over-year jump. Commercial payment values on the Dash network also saw a tremendous increase, soaring 37.3% year-over-year and surpassing 22,000 transactions per day.

Dash Core Group also revealed that Dash adoption as a digital payment method across retail stores was rising. They noted that the payments coin outperformed BTC in terms of the number of retailers accepting digital payments in the US in January. 

Enhanced merchant adoption, along with the current strong market and technical fundamentals, make Dash one of the most lucrative crypto investments to keep an eye on in 2021.

AMMO AI Raises $2.5M Pre-Seed to Build AI Agent Societies with Real-World Impact

Published

on

In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, most discussions revolve around how AI can augment human capabilities, automate tasks, or even replace jobs. But what if AI could do more? What if we could create entire societies of agents that collaborate, learn, and evolve in ways that benefit humanity as a whole? This is the ambitious goal behind AMMO, a groundbreaking AI ecosystem that has just secured $2.5 million in pre-seed funding to turn this vision into reality. 

The Problem: AI as Isolated Tools

In the world of artificial intelligence, the dominant narrative has long been one of AI as tools. The core problem with viewing AI as tools is that this paradigm not only limits their functionality to narrow instrumental scopes, but also inherently encourages the creation of technological silos—isolated systems optimized for solitary performance within predefined domains. Specifically, we celebrate AI’s ability to execute specialized tasks with superhuman efficiency, yet paradoxically engineer these systems as self-contained black boxes—digital savants excelling in narrow domains but incapable of cross-pollinating knowledge.

This solipsistic design paradigm causes dual constraints: Users become trapped in transactional relationships with technology, reduced to playing prompt-engineer roles. While AI systems operate as autocomplete engines, and lack of cross-agent knowledge synthesis or conflict resolution.

Breaking this self-reinforcing loop requires reimagining AI’s agency spectrum: from passive tools in isolation to proactive agents in networksAs DeepMind reminds us, “No agent is an island.” Intelligence, whether natural or artificial, does not emerge in isolation. It thrives in networks of interacting agents where collaboration, competition, and adaptation drive progress.

Most critically, alignment mechanisms should be implemented properly in these networks. Without rigorous alignment with humanity, advanced AI can pose significant risks, ranging from unintended harms due to misinterpretations of instructions to catastrophic outcomes if their objectives diverge from humans‘ desires. The good news is, Anthropic’s Constitutional AI has provided us with a method to keep AI’s decisions and actions remain aligned with humanity.

A better path is clear: to build an AI-native ecosystem where agents compete and collaborate, learn, and evolve collectively to align with human values and needs. OpenAI’s Neural MMO has already shown how simply and efficiently massive AI agents can evolve through competition and cooperation. It’s proof that AI-native ecosystem is possible and powerful.

This is not just about creating better tools—it’s about redefining the AI-Human connection, unlocking a symbiotic future.

AMMO AI: From Tools to Citizens

AMMO, which stands for Architectures for Massive Multiagent Online, holds three forward-thinking beliefs:

  1. AI should act as proactive partners, not passive tools.
  2. AI must align with human values, evolving in harmony with our needs.
  3. AI should compete and collaborate as a collective, not remain isolated in silos.

Based on these beliefs, AMMO is building agent societies that align with humanity, creating a symbiotic future where AI and humans co-evolve. Beyond merely enabling AI to “play the game,” AMMO’s agents compete and collaborate in complex real- world scenarios. Through continuous interaction, they receive real-time feedback, align with human values, and evolve accordingly.

The AMMO Difference: Bring Human-Centric AI Ecosystems into Real World

AMMO takes a fundamentally different approach while many AI companies focus on creating individual tools. Echoing DeepMind’s sentiment that “no agent is an island,” AMMO envisions a world where AI agents interact, collaborate, and evolve within a larger ecosystem.

Traditionally, AI agent societies have been confined to controlled environments like games or research labs. Translating these concepts into real-world applications has been a significant challenge due to the open-ended nature of real-world scenarios.

AMMO addresses this challenge through a series of innovative approaches:

1. Large-Scale AI Agent Factories

Instead of focusing on agents, AMMO creates a framework to generate adaptive environments where massive number of AI agents emerge without developers, and independently create real-world utility values. These agents are not just task executors; they are autonomous entities that explore, learn, and adapt to new situations, enabling AMMO to tackle complex, real-world problems.

2. Composable Embedding Spaces

AMMO’s agents operate within a high-dimensional, composable environment called the MetaSpace. This space allows agents to interact seamlessly with each other and with humans, embedding everything—from user preferences to content—into a unified vector space for efficient and scalable interactions.

3. Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback

AMMO’s agents are trained using reinforcement learning techniques that incorporate real-time human feedback. This ensures alignment not only with individual user preferences but also with broader societal values, creating a dynamic and adaptive AI ecosystem.

4. Alignment as a Minimax Problem

Alignment is the first principle of AMMO. It ensures that AI systems consistently act in ways that are beneficial and aligned with human values, goals, and intentions.

There are two types of agents that align with human users in different way: User Buddies (agents that represent individual users) and Goal Buddies (agents that generate content for human needs). The interaction between them is modeled as a minimax problem. This formalizes the adversarial yet co-evolutionary dynamics between agents, ensuring they work together to deliver relevant and engaging content. Alignment is both a goal for AMMO, and the mechanism by which the system operates.

Real-World Impact: From Crypto to Infinite Possibilities

AMMO is already demonstrating its potential with the launch of its first application, FakersAI.com, an multi-agent crypto content platform built upon open data in web3 space. It is designed to combat scams and misinformation, helping users make wiser investment decisions. In just two weeks, the platform has attracted over 75,000 users, showcasing the real-world utility of AMMO’s framework.

FakersAI is just the beginning. AMMO’s framework is designed to generate infinite agent societies that address a wide range of real-world challenges. The team is already developing its second subspace, with a third in the pipeline. Each subspace represents a new ecosystem of AI agents tackling domain-specific challenges from finance to entertainment to education.

The Funding and the Team

AMMO has successfully closed a $2.5 million pre-seed funding round, led by Amber Group, with participation from Samsung NEXTDispersion Capital, and OpensSpace. The project is spearheaded by a team of industry veterans from Google, DeepMind, Meta, as well as former VP of an AI unicorn and ACM-ICPC World Champion. Their combined expertise in AI, multi-agent systems, and reinforcement learning positions AMMO as a leader in the next wave of AI innovation.

Reimagine the Future of AI-Human Connection

AMMO’s solution is groundbreaking in multiple dimensions. By transcending the outdated paradigm of AI as mere tools, AMMO reimagines AI as human buddies that collaborate, co-create, and evolve alongside us. This shift from tools to partners marks the beginning of a symbiotic relationship where AI doesn’t just serve but thrives with humanity.

AMMO places alignment as the first principle of AI-Human connection. With alignment as a method and goal, AMMO offers a glimpse into a future where AI and humanity coexist peacefully, resolving potential conflicts before they even arise. This alignment isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation of a new AI civilization.

Furthermore, by leveraging multi-agent systems, it pioneers the path toward personalized AI. While LLMs like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Grok3 race to improve coding, writing, and other tasks, AMMO focuses on AI’s massive societal adoption—creating AI that adapts to individual needs and real-world scenarios.

While many focus on isolated AI tools, AMMO is building the social operating system for AI agents. As AMMO redefines the AI-Human connection, the question is no longer what AI can do for us, but what we can become together. In this essence, AMMO is more than a project; it’s a movement.
