Griffin AI: Community AMA Recap – 3 February 2026


Welcome to the comprehensive recap of our Community AMA of 2026. This session featured our founder and technical lead, Oliver Feldmeier, to discuss product progress, the 2026 roadmap, and answer questions.

Opening Remarks: Greetings from Switzerland and Hong Kong

Jingyi: Happy New Year everyone! It is great to kick off 2026 together with our first community AMA of the year featuring our founder and technical lead, Oliver. For those joining for the first time, Griffin AI is a pioneer in the agent builder space, having launched autonomous transactional execution agents and research agents that provide crypto research while you sleep.

Oliver: Greetings from Switzerland! While it is warm in Hong Kong, we are around freezing here—zero degrees Celsius. We were recently in Davos for the World Economic Forum, which attracted global leaders and politicians. It was an exciting event atmosphere with great networking. At Griffin AI, we haven't been skiing; we've had a very full month with great progress on the product side.

The 2026 Roadmap: B2B Expansion and "Griffin X"

Jingyi: We received over a hundred questions from the community and grouped them into project development, token price/buybacks, user questions, and proposals. Oliver, let’s start with the roadmap.

Oliver: I am super excited about the progress on many fronts. While last year focused on the agent builder and playground, we have moved significantly into B2B and B2B2C applications. This means collaborating with major protocols to roll out agents for their user base. Reach is vital because real token value follows demand and native usage. We cannot go it alone; we need strong partners.

One major DeFi protocol application is fully tested and ready to launch, with the PR sequence currently being calibrated. Additionally, we have built an agent for another major protocol that will be our first real commercial application, featuring a revenue-share business model.

Oliver: What has me and the tech team most excited is a new multi-agent system we've developed over the last five months. Our internal title for it is Griffin X. This agent is different; it lives "in the wild" and users can engage with it over social media like X (Twitter), Telegram, or our website. It is essentially an AI cryptocurrency investment advisor and portfolio manager—think of it like a hedge fund managed by an AI. We will release it in stages, starting with research and advisory functionality before moving to public trading of assets in the AI hedge fund.

Security and Architecture: Lessons from OpenClow

Oliver: You may have heard of "OpenClaw" (formerly ClaudBot). While it shares our philosophy of social media integration, there are very high security concerns with its architecture. Currently, there are over 400 malicious skills in their repository that can steal your logins and crypto. If you give an agent access to browse websites or check emails, it is vulnerable to prompt or code injections that allow hackers to take over your machine.

Oliver: Griffin X is designed with a more robust, security-focused architecture. It is a multi-agent system where each sub-agent has a very specific focus such as for example:

• Data Grounding: An agent doing technical analysis is given specific APIs (like CoinGecko) and ignores social media messages to stay grounded in reality.
• Checks and Balances: If a social media monitoring agent sees a token "exploding" on Twitter, our data-driven agents sanity-check that narrative against actual price and volume movement on-chain.
• Master Oversight: We have a master agent that can shut down the entire system if something goes wrong.

I am in favor of open-source, but you need a certain level of maturity before opening everything up. On our end, we will release test versions first so people can observe the agents without exposing users to the risks we see elsewhere.

Token Strategy: Buybacks and Treasury

Jingyi: Let's discuss the buybacks. When was the last one, and why did we skip January?

Oliver: The last purchase was in December, where we burned 10 million GAIN tokens—about 2.1% of the circulating supply. In January, we decided not to buy back because doing so in isolation, without an increase in native token demand, is inefficient. It creates a short-term spike that quickly fades. We are focusing on the B2B products and Griffin X to create a "flywheel" of real utility and token demand. When we trigger buybacks alongside this adoption, the growth will be sustainable.

Jingyi: Some community members suggest spend the whole treasury on buybacks?

Oliver: That would mean letting go of the team and stopping product development. Some meme tokens do that, but we are building a sophisticated, cutting-edge AI platform. We are not a meme. Spending the treasury just to buy back tokens while not innovating is essentially giving up. Our mission is to drive the convergence of blockchain and AI agents.

Milestones: The OpenAI Trophies

Oliver: Our platform has seen 57% month-over-month growth in utility metrics. It's often hard for the outside world to see this because it happens on our platform rather than on-chain. However, a few months ago, I announced we received a trophy from OpenAI for passing 10 billion tokens consumed that month. Just recently, I received another box—a second trophy for passing yet again another 10 billion tokens. This shows real people are using our agents. OpenAI is just the tip of the iceberg, as we also use DeepSeek, Llama, and Gemini. Being a real project, with real great agentic solutions for crypto, we are set to continue our mission.

Closing Remarks

Oliver: 2026 will be the year AI agents really take off. It won't just be back-and-forth chatting; it will be standalone applications that do a job and report back. The B2B implementations and Griffin X are our main focus for the next six months. We will do these sessions more frequently to look at the architecture and use cases in detail.

Jingyi: Thank you, Oliver. We will publish this AMA as written blog post and add later replies to the questions we could not cover in this one hour, in relation to practical user questions (from customer support) and proposals. Happy New Year and see you soon!

Griffin AI：2026 年首次社区 AMA 回顾

欢迎阅读 2026 年首次社区 AMA 的全面回顾 。本次会议由我们的创始人兼技术负责人 Oliver 从瑞士远程连线，与主持人 Jingyi 共同讨论了产品的最新进展、2026 年路线图以及代币效用策略 。

开场致辞：来自瑞士与香港的问候

Jingyi： 各位新年好！很高兴能与我们的创始人兼技术负责人 Oliver 一起开启 2026 年的第一次社区 AMA 。对于初次加入的朋友，Griffin AI 是代理构建领域（Agent Builder）的先驱，我们已经推出了自主交易执行代理和研究代理，能在您休息时提供专业的加密货币研究 。

Oliver： 各位好！香港现在很温暖，但瑞士这边气温接近冰点——大约 0 摄氏度 。我们最近参加了达沃斯世界经济论坛，吸引了全球领导人和政治家，现场气氛非常热烈，充满了优质的交流机会 。在 Griffin AI，我们这段时间没有去滑雪，而是在产品开发方面度过了一个非常充实的月份，并取得了重大进展 。

2026 路线图：B2B 扩张与“Griffin X”

Jingyi： 我们收到了来自社区的一百多个问题，并将它们归纳为项目开发、代币价格/回购、用户问题和提案四大类 。Oliver，让我们从路线图开始吧 。

Oliver： 我对多个战线的进展感到非常兴奋 。去年我们的重点是代理构建器和游乐场（Playground），而现在我们已大幅转向 B2B 和 B2B2C 应用 。这意味着我们将与主要的协议合作，为他们的用户群推出专属代理 。

• 影响力与合作： 覆盖范围至关重要，因为代币的真实价值取决于需求和原生使用场景 。我们不能孤军奋战，我们需要强大的合作伙伴 。
• 新项目启动： 一个主要的 DeFi 协议应用已完成全面测试并准备发布，目前正在校准公关发布顺序 。此外，我们为另一个主要协议构建的代理将成为我们首个真正的商业化应用，采用收入共享业务模式 。
• Griffin X： 最让我和技术团队兴奋的是过去五个月开发的新型多代理系统，内部代号为 “Griffin X” 。它与众不同，直接存在于“野外”环境，用户可以通过 X（原 Twitter）、Telegram 或我们的官网与其互动 。
• AI 对冲基金： 它本质上是一个 AI 加密货币投资顾问和组合管理器——你可以将其理解为由 AI 管理的对冲基金 。我们将分阶段发布，首先是研究和咨询功能，随后将实现 AI 对冲基金资产的公开交易 。

安全与架构：来自 OpenClaw 的教训

Oliver： 你们可能听说过 “OpenClaw”（原名 ClaudBot）。虽然它与我们有着相似的社交媒体集成理念，但其架构存在极高的安全隐患 。

• 安全风险： 目前其仓库中有超过 400 种恶意技能可以窃取您的登录信息和加密资产 。如果您允许代理浏览网站或检查邮件，它很容易受到提示词注入（Prompt Injection）或代码注入的攻击，导致黑客接管您的机器 。
• Griffin X 的防御设计： Griffin X 采用了更稳健、以安全为中心的架构，这是一个多代理系统，每个子代理都有非常明确的职责 ：
  • 数据锚定（Data Grounding）： 负责技术分析的代理被赋予特定的 API（如 CoinGecko），并会忽略社交媒体信息，以确保分析立足于现实数据 。
  • 制衡机制： 如果社交媒体监测代理在 Twitter 上发现某个代币正在“爆发”，我们的数据驱动代理会根据链上实际的价格和成交量运动进行“真实性检查” 。
  • 大师监管： 我们设有一个大师代理（Master Agent），如果出现任何问题，它可以关闭整个系统 。
• 开源立场： 我支持开源，但在完全开放之前需要达到一定的成熟度 。我们会先发布测试版本，让大家在不暴露于其他平台所见的风险中的情况下观察代理的运行 。

代币策略：回购与库库

Jingyi： 让我们谈谈回购。上一次回购是什么时候？为什么 1 月份没有进行？

Oliver： 最近一次购买是在 12 月，当时我们销毁了 1000 万个 GAIN 代币——约占流通供应量的 2.1% 。我们在 1 月决定不进行回购，因为在没有原生代币需求同步增长的情况下，孤立地进行回购是低效的 。

• 可持续增长： 孤立回购只会产生短暂的价格上涨，然后迅速消退 。我们现在的重点是通过 B2B 产品和 Griffin X 创造真实效用和代币需求的“飞轮” 。当我们在这种采用规模下触发回购时，增长才具有可持续性 。
• 库房用途： 针对社区成员建议将全部库房用于回购的提议，这意味着要解散团队并停止产品开发 。虽然一些迷因币（Meme Coin）会这样做，但我们是在构建尖端的 AI 平台，我们不是迷因币 。不创新而只买回代币本质上是放弃，而我们的使命是驱动区块链与 AI 代理的融合 。

里程碑：OpenAI 奖杯

Oliver： 我们的平台在效用指标上实现了 57% 的环比增长 。由于这些活动发生在我们的平台内而非链上，外界通常很难观察到 。

• 卓越成就： 几个月前，我宣布由于单月消耗超过 100 亿个 Token（代币），我们收到了 OpenAI 颁发的奖杯 。而就在最近，我又收到了第二个奖杯，代表我们再次突破了 100 亿个 Token 的消耗大关 。这证明了真实的用户正在使用我们的代理 。
• 技术深度： OpenAI 只是冰山一角，我们还同时使用 DeepSeek、Llama 和 Gemini 等模型 。作为一个拥有真实、卓越的加密代理解决方案的项目，我们将继续履行我们的使命 。

结语

Oliver： 2026 年将是 AI 代理真正起飞的一年。它不再仅仅是对话互动，而是能够执行任务并反馈结果的独立应用 。在接下来的六个月里，B2B 实施和 Griffin X 将是我们的核心重点 。我们将更频繁地举行此类会议，深入探讨架构和应用案例 。

Jingyi： 谢谢 Oliver。我们将以博客形式发布此次 AMA 内容，并稍后回复那些在这一小时内未能覆盖的问题，包括来自客户支持的实际用户问题和提案 。祝大家新年快乐，下次见！
