HashKey Unleashes ModAI: A Game-Changing AI Powerhouse in Crypto!

From Content Moderation to Blockchain Trading: HashKey's Bold Leap into AI

Hold onto your hats, crypto fans! HashKey, the trailblazing Hong Kong-based exchange, just dropped a bombshell with their first AI-driven product, ModAI. And guess what? They're not stopping there. They're gearing up to roll out AI agents that'll trade on the blockchain like pros!

April 3rd marked a historic day as HashKey dove headfirst into the AI arena with ModAI. This bad boy isn't just any AI tool; it's a multi-talented beast that moderates content, whips up virtual avatars, chats with users, and even handles customer support like a boss.

Get this: according to the buzz from SCMP, ModAI could slash operational costs by a whopping 80% and double user engagement. How? By harnessing the power of a killer combo of large language models (LLMs) from DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta Platforms. Talk about a dream team!

But wait, there's more! ModAI isn't just fluent in tech jargon; it's a polyglot, responding to users in Chinese, English, Japanese, and Vietnamese. And HashKey's not done yet—they're planning to add even more languages to the mix later this year.

Sean Wang, HashKey's VP of product and head of the AI team, spilled the beans that they initially toyed with the idea of building their own LLM. But the price tag? Too steep. So, they pivoted and went with the powerhouse LLMs we know and love.

Wang didn't stop there. He revealed that HashKey's got big plans to supercharge ModAI with AI agents that'll do everything from running errands to making savvy crypto investments based on your cash and goals. The future's looking bright, folks!

AI agents are the talk of the town in crypto circles, with traders loving the ease and innovation they bring to the table. But not everyone's on board—some are questioning their real value in the crypto community.

Even Binance's co-founder, Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, weighed in, saying that too many AI agent devs are more focused on minting tokens than making their agents actually useful. His advice? Build a killer agent first, then think about the token.

And CZ didn't hold back on AI chatbots either, calling them out for being "lazy" and just rehashing what users already know. He wants them to step up and drop some fresh knowledge on us!

"The problem with AI Chatbots is that, often, I don’t know what I don’t know. I don’t know what to ask. It would be good if it could just tell me things I should know. So lazy," CZ vented in his post.

But HashKey's not just about AI—they're also making waves in the regulatory world. Last month, they launched a slick initiative to rate cryptos and exchanges in Hong Kong, helping local companies play by the region's virtual asset rules.
