AEGIS token, associated with the Aegis AI smart contract auditing platform, experienced a significant surge, marking a 92% increase within the last 24 hours, reaching a peak at <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/aegis-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$0.2987</a>.&nbsp; 
This growth comes amid expectations of forthcoming advancements in the Aegis AI ecosystem, as <a href="https://x.com/jollygreenmoney/status/1767676301371158562?s=20" target="_blank">noted</a> by a crypto influencer known as Jolly Green Investor. The influencer’s enthusiasm was shared in a statement highlighting Aegis AI’s imminent introduction of its AI-based security tools, designed to address vulnerabilities in the crypto domain. These tools include AI-powered smart contract audits, token legitimacy audits, protocol monitoring, and bug bounty programs, all part of the soon-to-launch Aegis AI dApp. 
According to the crypto influencer, the surge in AEGIS token value is closely linked to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s emphasis on the need for AI in smart contract auditing and bug detection.&nbsp; 
Via an X <a href="https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1759369749887332577?s=20" target="_blank">post</a> on Feb. 19, Buterin expressed his <a href="https://crypto.news/vitalik-buterin-highlights-opportunities-and-risks-in-merging-crypto-ai/">optimism about the use of AI</a> for formal verification of code and identifying bugs, pinpointing this as one of the most significant technical risks currently faced by Ethereum. He advocated for AI’s potential to revolutionize this aspect, marking a significant stride towards enhancing security and reliability.&nbsp; 
As such, Jolly Green highlighted that Buterin’s encouragement for Ethereum projects to develop AI-based solutions, combined with the growing anticipation around the Ethereum ETF, positions AEGIS uniquely at the forefront of addressing these challenges. 
Further insights were provided by a <a href="https://x.com/Brentus333/status/1767677878093640008?s=20" target="_blank">user</a> responding to the influencer, referencing a recent <a href="https://x.com/MADrag0s/status/1763013727949934635?s=20" target="_blank">AMA</a> that unveiled additional features of the Aegis ecosystem. These features include a <a href="https://x.com/MADrag0s/status/1765894273688293674?s=20" target="_blank">Bitsensor subnet</a>, an operating system, a DePIN ecosystem, and SKL-based licensing, among others. This expansion introduces new revenue streams for AEGIS token holders, offering them an 80% revenue share.
