Social Activity Rankings Reveal DeFAI Project Popularity
LunarCrush, that AI platform that tracks digital assets, just put out a list of the top ten DeFAI projects based on social activity. For those who might not know, DeFAI stands for decentralized finance plus artificial intelligence. It’s basically where blockchain projects try to combine AI tools with DeFi systems. The idea is to make things more efficient, handle complex tasks, and maybe simplify how users interact with these platforms.
What’s interesting is how they measure this social activity. They look at two main things: engaged posts and interactions. Engaged posts are the actual content being shared, while interactions cover likes, comments, shares—that sort of thing. It gives you a sense of how much buzz these projects are generating online.
PAAL AI Takes Top Spot
PAAL AI, with its $PAAL token, came out on top. The numbers show 1.2 thousand engaged posts and a pretty substantial 165.2 thousand interactions. That’s a lot of conversation happening around this project. I think what stands out here is the gap between PAAL and the others in terms of interactions—it’s significantly higher.
Right behind PAAL is Swarms, using the $SWARMS token. They had 1.1 thousand engaged posts, which is actually pretty close to PAAL’s count. But the interactions tell a different story—28.4 thousand for Swarms compared to PAAL’s 165.2 thousand. Still, being in second place with those numbers suggests Swarms has a solid community talking about it.
The Middle of the Pack
Supra and Wayfinder took third and fourth positions. Supra, with $SUPRA, had 458 engaged posts and 24 thousand interactions. Wayfinder, using $PROMPT, came in with 356 engaged posts and 10.7 thousand interactions. What’s notable here is that while their engaged post numbers are relatively close—about a hundred apart—the interaction gap is much wider at 13.3 thousand.
Then you’ve got ChainGPT and Alpha. ChainGPT, with $CGPT, recorded 321 engaged posts and 6.8 thousand interactions. Alpha, with $ALPHA, was just three posts behind at 318, but their interaction count was much higher at 24.7 thousand. That’s an interesting discrepancy—similar posting activity but very different engagement levels.
Lower Rankings Show Varied Engagement Patterns
Solidus Ai Tech and Aixbt are next. $AITECH had 305 engaged posts with 6 thousand interactions, while $AIXBT had 267 posts but actually more interactions at 8.4 thousand. So Aixbt had fewer posts but managed to generate more conversation around them.
At the bottom of the list were Griffain and Guru Network. $GRIFFAIN had 200 engaged posts and 9.5 thousand interactions, while $GURU had 132 posts and 2.2 thousand interactions. These numbers suggest these projects might be newer or just have smaller communities at the moment.
What strikes me about this data is how it doesn’t necessarily correlate perfectly. Some projects with fewer posts have more interactions, and vice versa. It makes you wonder about the quality versus quantity of social engagement. Are some communities just more vocal? Or maybe certain projects generate more controversial or discussion-worthy content?
Phoenix Group shared this news through their official X account, so it seems like this data is getting some attention within the crypto space. For people watching the DeFAI sector, these social metrics might offer clues about which projects are gaining traction, at least in terms of community interest. But of course, social activity is just one piece of the puzzle—it doesn’t tell you about technical development, partnerships, or actual adoption.
Still, it’s useful information. If nothing else, it shows where the conversations are happening in this emerging space where AI meets decentralized finance.
