The website (coralprotocol.org) is stunningly designed, but makes no reference to anyone who is actually using this. I also think the numerous references to a crypto token that is tied into this project severely undermine any research credibility.

The roadmap is revealing. Before any actual product-related work they have these three bullet points:

  - Rebrand from Ai23T → Coral Protocol
  - New Token live on Solana
  - Major exchange listings
It’s all about pumping another token that’s a rebrand from a previous one.

What happened to “Ai23T”? Did it ship anything? Who cares! There’s a new token to list on exchanges and a new wave of hope and dreams.

These things are no different from penny stocks of 1980s except that they’re promoted globally rather than by boiler room scam callers.

Hey, co-founder of Coral here. Just for some context; the website is a little outdated for sure.

Ai23T was the old name of the brand; we changed it to Coral since it fits better with the idea of an ecosystem.

There was a 100% migration from the token; no one lost any money.

A lot of the founding team comes from AI backgrounds, going through pilots with enterprises and onboarding new customers. We just finished our first hack with ElevenLabs, Mistral AI, Lovable, etc.

No one on the team is building for a scam, just to be clear but 100% see where you are coming from as crypto has a lot of fake projects, and we’re shipping weekly. Happy to answer any questions!
