Hello aelf Community,
Welcome to the April 2025 edition of the aelf Monthly Digest! Let's recap what happened in the past month: advancements in aelf’s Web3 AI technology, highlights in ecosystem development, and Web3 AI industry insights.
Technology
aelf x aevatar.ai x GodGPT: Launching the Onchain Personality-AI Ecosystem
This month, aelf officially announced long-term strategic support and structural-level investment into the onchain personality-AI ecosystem formed by GodGPT and aevatar.ai.
This Web3 AI initiative marks a foundational step toward enabling intelligent, personality-driven AI agents to operate fully on-chain. At the protocol level, aelf is building a complete runtime environment for AI personas—empowering them with residence, execution, and incentive within the aelf network.
Key support provided by aelf includes:
Full-chain support for each AI persona, with unique identity containers.
Portkey Semantic Login for seamless on-chain access.
Agent Nesting Mechanism via aevatar.ai orchestration.
Resonance Signature Tags (RST) to label persona intent and build on-chain trust.
ELF = Frequency Fuel, powering activation, alignment, and incentive.
This is more than a Web3 upgrade — it's the beginning of a new class of AI-native economies.

Ecosystem
AetherLink
AetherLink underwent several feature updates, most notably enabling cross-chain functionality between the aelf blockchain and Ethereum, Base, and BSC. This functionality has now been deployed on the Mainnet, significantly enhancing ecosystem connectivity between aelf and these major blockchains.
aelf's Ecosystem, the Facts and Figures
April 2025 saw continued volatility across the wider economy and crypto market. President Trump's expanded tariffs significantly impacted the U.S. economy, contributing to a slowdown and raising concerns about a potential recession, weighing on investor confidence and risk appetite. Amid this uncertainty, aelf sustained forward momentum — total asset inflow climbed from 1.15M to 1.69M, signaling ongoing trust from builders and capital allocators across Web3 AI sectors.
While Monthly Active Users and TVL experienced expected dips to 13.8K and 12.8M respectively, total wallet addresses remained stable at 1.09M — highlighting a durable user base despite shifting conditions. These fluctuations are characteristic of consolidation periods and reflect temporary caution rather than long-term disengagement.
As traditional markets adjust to tighter conditions, aelf continues to build through the noise — deepening its AI infrastructure and tooling, and positioning its Web3 AI ecosystem for stronger performance once external pressures ease.
Industry Insights
April saw a storm in the global economy as US President Donald Trump announced the reciprocal tariffs which shook the world. No market was spared as stocks to crypto saw a large dip, with the price of BTC falling shortly after the announcement, along with other altcoins as investors and traders became bearish in this time of instability.
Against this backdrop, this month's insights discuss the future of DeAI as a collaborative frontier, driven by the open frameworks and innovation championed by aelf. Together with the rise of AI and vibe coding, the adoption of AI Agents continues to grow at an unprecedented rate.
