Echos, the artificial intelligence platform for agent to tokens, is closed.
On March 27, the AI Agent Platform, developed by Cosmos Based Liquid strike Platform Stride, was indicated The community that operations will stop on 1 May 2025.
Echos, launched in Beta in November 2024, mentioned low acceptance as the main reason for its closure. According to a notification on X, the experiment could not get meaningful traction, which reflects a broader delay in the Crypto AI agency.
“Echos was always an experiment. Unfortunately, Echos has seen little approved. The General AI market market has also been considerably affected,” the team said.
Echos is a stride app built on Celestia, designed as a role.
From vision to sunset
During the launch, the Stride team considered the AI and Memecoin focus of Echos as a potential disruptor for the future of decentralized finances. The plan was to evolve echoes from an experimental product to a fully Rollup ecosystem to support various use cases within the liquid deployment network of Stride.
However, a lack of user straction has put an end to those ambitions.
The Echos team has urged all users to withdraw their money before the platform is permanently closed on 1 May.
According to Stride, Echos got inspiration from the Terminal of Truths, the AI agent who saw the Memecoin Goateus Maximus (goat) explode in the summer of 2024. It became $ 1 billion in market capitalization.
Terminal of Truths, a large platform for language model, supported by Marc Andreessen van Andreessen Horowitz, became known after the shilling of the goat smoking on X – an action that sent the memecoin.
Stride’s vision of Echos was to create a similar AI experience, so that everyone could launch their own echo with only a crypto wallet and X account.
While Echos did not go beyond the first phase of its development, the AI agency sector has since seen various remarkable projects. Some of the best trending are Virtuels Protocol, AI16Z, Freysa AI and Dolesium.
