Recent Popular AI Projects with Upcoming TGE: I.R.I.S / IDOL / Sahara AI Mira / Allora
As the market gradually recovers and interest rate cuts draw near, an increasing number of AI projects have been making moves recently.

This week, the Virtuals ecosystem is experiencing another surge in activity, sparked by a project called I.R.I.S. set to launch on the Virtuals platform. As market sentiment gradually improves and interest rate cuts draw nearer, an increasing number of AI projects have been making moves recently.
This article will review some of the recent or upcoming TGEs among trending AI projects.
1. I.R.I.S – A key step in Virtuals’ Ethereum expansion
I.R.I.S. is a virtual agent built on the X platform, jointly launched by Virtuals and Nethermind.
Nethermind was founded by Tomasz, co-executive director of Ethereum, making I.R.I.S. effectively endorsed by both Virtuals and the Ethereum Foundation, which has helped it gain significant visibility.
Nethermind has introduced the AuditAgent platform, aimed at automating smart contract security—similar in direction to earlier efforts like yesnoerror.
I.R.I.S. is deployed across social channels, leveraging AuditAgent’s custom AI framework to deliver near real-time smart contract analysis—identifying vulnerabilities within minutes instead of weeks, significantly accelerating security workflows.
I.R.I.S. integrates directly into developer conversations on X, providing analysis grounded in actual vulnerabilities and expert insights to meet immediate needs.
On June 13, IRIS will officially undergo TGE—its performance will be worth watching.
2. IDOL – An AI Agent for entertainment, MEET48's flagship project
On June 11, Binance Alpha listed $IDOL. Users who did not claim their airdrop by June 9 still have 14 days left to do so.
If you're unfamiliar with $IDOL, you've likely heard of MEET48 or SNH48 somewhere.
MEET48 positions itself as the first Web3 community focused on entertainment-centric AI Agents and AI-powered UGC creator-fan economies. $IDOL is launched by MEET48.
Another label for MEET48: a leading entertainment application within the BNB Chain ecosystem. The MEET48 community currently boasts 3.8 million active users globally and 500,000 Web3 wallets, consistently ranking as the top social application on BNB Chain with over 100 million on-chain interactions. MEET48 has also been selected for the BNB Chain MVB Season 8 Accelerator Program.
Focused on entertainment, MEET48 is also a strategic partner of SNH48 GROUP. Its first-ever Web3 Global Idol Popularity Election launched in June.
3. Sahara AI – Backed by Buidlpad, community round completed
You’ve probably seen Sahara AI all over your feed recently, with many believing this could be a major opportunity.
Sahara AI has an impressive investor lineup, including backing from Polychain, Pantera, and Yzi Labs. It offers an end-to-end solution covering data collection, labeling, model training, AI Agent creation, and asset trading.
The community round on Buildpad has now concluded, marking the second project hosted on the platform. The first was Solayer, which performed well upon launch.
Another reason people are paying attention to Sahara AI is its founding team. The two core founders are Tyler Zhou, former Investment Director at Binance Labs, and Sean Ren, a tenured professor at the University of Southern California and Samsung Researcher of the Year 2023. Key team members come from institutions such as Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Microsoft, and Google.
The exact TGE date for Sahara AI remains unconfirmed, but it's said that the pace will accelerate following the community round.
4. Mira – Launches on Yap, tops Kaito leaderboard
On June 11, Mira announced its launch on Kaito, along with a 0.5% allocation reserved for Yappers. Shortly after the announcement, Mira rose to the No.1 spot on Kaito. Given Kaito’s incentive structure, we can expect even more Yapping and user attention directed toward Mira.
What does Mira do? Simply put: Mira helps verify whether the information provided by AI is true or false. For example, when you ask an AI about today’s weather, it might use data analysis and reasoning to insist it’s sunny—even though it’s clearly raining. When challenged, the AI doubles down, refusing to admit error. This is just one example; many AI tool users have encountered similar issues. In short: AI gives you false information, but you don’t realize it—commonly known as “AI hallucination.”
Mira was created to solve this very problem, earning its place as critical AI infrastructure. At its core, Mira works by “modularizing AI outputs and enabling distributed verification.” Here’s how: AI content → broken into modules → verified by different nodes → reliability scores per module → final determination of truthfulness.
5. Allora – Foundation established, mainnet launch imminent
Allora is a decentralized inference network, falling under the same category of AI infrastructure. It delivers customized models tailored to specific organizational needs.
Allora provides an abstraction layer for AI collaboration, where multiple specialized models focused on narrow problems converge to produce stronger, more inclusive outputs—enabling self-evolution in AI systems.
The network intelligently aggregates these models—predicting participant performance in real time and learning from it.
A topic orchestrator sets the task, worker models generate inferences, and evaluators compare these against ground truths, producing results more accurate and consistent than any single participant could achieve.
By combining collective insights with context-aware adjustments, Allora continuously refines its predictions, surpassing the capabilities of any individual model. The Allora Foundation was established in Q1, and TGE is expected in Q3.
