BNB News Today: Tokenizing Intelligence: ChatAndBuild Turns AI into Tradable Assets

Blockchain research firm Messari has spotlighted ChatAndBuild, a project redefining digital asset creation by merging artificial intelligence with blockchain technology. The firm's October 28 report positions ChatAndBuild as a pioneer in transforming AI from a service into an auditable, tradable asset class, underpinned by its Non-Fungible Agent (NFA) ecosystem. This innovation operates on the BAP-578 standard, deployed on the BNB Chain, enabling users to mint, own, and verify intelligent agents.

ChatAndBuild's NFAs differ sharply from traditional non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which are typically static digital collectibles. Instead, NFAs function as learning, customizable agents capable of executing tasks. Each agent is anchored with a Proof-of-Prompt (PoP), an immutable record of training data and configurations, ensuring verifiable histories and privacy. This shift aligns with broader trends in AI adoption, as evidenced by OpenAI's outperformance of revenue forecasts—growing 15% above 2025 projections and 50% ahead of 2027 estimates. Analysts attribute this to AI's expanding utility in enterprise workflows, a domain where ChatAndBuild's platform is gaining traction.

The project's rapid adoption is underscored by 150,000 global users since its public launch, supported by partnerships with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google Cloud, as well as academic institutions like the University of Oxford. Christel Buchanan, ChatAndBuild's CEO, emphasizes the platform's no-code interface, which allows users to describe ideas in natural language and convert them into functional applications. This democratization of development is amplified by the platform's mobile-first design and support for 40 languages, addressing regions with limited technical infrastructure.

Technical innovations further distinguish ChatAndBuild. The BAP-578 standard extends ERC-721 interfaces for interoperability while introducing gas-efficient operations—reducing contract costs by up to 90% compared to legacy systems. The protocol also embeds identity and compliance metadata, catering to enterprise and regulatory demands. Cross-chain utility is another focus, with planned integrations on Solana and Ethereum enabling persistent agent identity across blockchains.

Looking ahead, ChatAndBuild's roadmap includes the NFA Digits auction, where 100,999 unique agents will be introduced at a 0.01 BNB minting fee. This initiative, alongside staking rewards and developer grants, aims to foster community engagement and institutional adoption. The project's alignment with broader AI trends is notable: Agora's recent Q3 earnings highlighted AI-driven conversational agents in customer service and education, reflecting a growing market for interactive AI solutions.

Messari's analysis suggests that ChatAndBuild's success hinges on its ability to balance innovation with regulatory compliance. The firm's emphasis on "agent ownership" as a foundational layer for creative agency mirrors OpenAI's trajectory, where enterprise applications and API growth are fueling a $100 billion annual recurring revenue target by 2027. Meanwhile, the BNB Chain's role in supporting such projects aligns with broader crypto trends, as derivatives data show increased whale interest in BNB, with average futures order sizes rising.

As AI and blockchain converge, platforms like ChatAndBuild are redefining value creation. By embedding intelligence into tradable assets, they address a critical gap in the digital economy—transforming creativity into a quantifiable, transferable resource. Analysts at Messari anticipate that regulated auditing, cross-chain portability, and scalable revenue models will shape the next phase of adoption, positioning ChatAndBuild at the forefront of a new asset class.
