Gloria AI is an artificial intelligence-powered news and data intelligence platform designed primarily for the cryptocurrency industry. The platform's core function is to scan and filter market information in real-time, delivering curated news and data feeds to traders, developers, and AI agents. ^{[1] [2]}

Overview

Gloria AI was developed to address the challenge of information overload, or "noise," within the fast-paced financial and cryptocurrency markets. The platform utilizes proprietary AI systems to analyze vast amounts of data from numerous sources, identifying and isolating market-moving events, trends, and sentiment shifts. The goal is to provide users with timely and relevant intelligence, enabling them to make more informed decisions. The project was founded by John Chen and operates with a native utility token, $GLORIA. ^[2]

The platform's ecosystem is built around several key products. The primary user-facing product is the Gloria Terminal, a web-based application that presents filtered news streams in a customizable interface. For developers and automated systems, Gloria AI provides data through a traditional API and through an integration with Coinbase's x402 protocol.

This integration facilitates on-chain, permissionless payments for data access, allowing AI agents and decentralized applications to programmatically interact with the platform's intelligence feeds without conventional API keys. The project is in a public beta phase, with ongoing development for future versions of its terminal. ^{[1] [2]}

History

The official X (formerly Twitter) account for Gloria AI was established in November 2024, marking the project's initial public presence. The project and its native token, $GLORIA, were launched through the Virtuals.io platform, which specializes in projects related to artificial intelligence agents. ^[2]

By May 8, 2025, the project achieved several significant milestones. The market capitalization for the $GLORIA token reached $5 million. On the same day, the venture firm AIXCB VC announced it had realized a 25x return on its investment from the token's genesis launch on Virtuals.io. The token was also highlighted as a top-performing asset among genesis launches on the platform, with some early investors seeing returns of over 100x. To discuss the project's vision and early success, founder John Chen was featured in an interview with the media outlet CryptoSlam. ^[2]

Throughout mid-2025, the project focused on community engagement by hosting a series of X Spaces events. These included "Cut The Noise with AI Powered Data" on June 25, 2025, and "AI Alpha: Turning Signals into Strategy" on July 2, 2025, featuring collaborations with other figures and projects in the AI and crypto sectors. A major technical milestone occurred on September 5, 2025, when the Coinbase Developer Platform publicly spotlighted Gloria AI for its full integration with the x402 protocol, recognizing it as a "next-gen AI news intelligence platform." This endorsement highlighted the project's innovative approach to decentralized data access. ^[2]

Technology

Gloria AI's technology stack is centered on delivering filtered, real-time data through multiple channels tailored to different user types, from manual traders to autonomous AI agents.

Gloria Terminal

The Gloria Terminal is the platform's primary web-based application and user interface. Currently in version 2.1 (Beta), it serves as a dashboard for accessing the AI-curated news feeds. Key features of the terminal include:

• AI-Powered Filtering: The core of the platform is an AI engine that scans, processes, and filters news in real-time to identify information with the potential to impact markets.
• Real-Time Updates: The terminal is designed for low-latency information delivery, featuring an auto-refresh function and a "last updated" timestamp to ensure users receive current data.
• Categorized Feeds: Information is sorted into distinct categories to help users quickly assess market sentiment and focus on relevant topics. These categories include "BULLISH" and "BEARISH" sentiment indicators, as well as feeds dedicated to specific assets like Bitcoin and Solana, macroeconomic news, and AI industry developments.
• Customizable Interface: Users can adjust the terminal's appearance and layout. Options include selecting a visual theme, configuring the display to show three or six news panels, and toggling a "Headlines Only" mode for a more compact view.
• 12H Recap: This feature provides a summary of the most significant news items within each category over the previous 12-hour period.
• Wallet Integration: The interface includes a "Connect Wallet / Login" function, indicating integration with Web3 wallets for authentication and potentially for accessing premium features tied to the $GLORIA token.

The platform's roadmap includes a future release designated "TERMINAL ALPHA," suggesting a significant update or new version of the terminal is in development. ^[1]

API Access

For developers, trading firms, and other platforms, Gloria AI offers programmatic access to its crypto news data feed through an Application Programming Interface (API). This allows for the integration of Gloria's real-time intelligence into third-party applications, trading bots, and analytical models. ^[2]

x402 Integration

A key technological differentiator for Gloria AI is its full integration with Coinbase's x402 protocol. The x402 protocol is a standard for facilitating on-chain payments for API calls, designed to create a more open and decentralized market for data and web services. Gloria AI's implementation of this protocol allows any wallet-equipped AI agent or application to programmatically access its news feed by making micropayments in USDC. This system bypasses the need for traditional API keys, which are typically associated with centralized billing, manual sign-ups, and potential security vulnerabilities. By enabling permissionless, on-chain data access, the x402 integration positions Gloria AI as a data provider for the emerging ecosystem of autonomous AI agents and decentralized applications. The Coinbase Developer Platform recognized this implementation as a forward-looking application of its technology. ^[2]

Tokenomics

Gloria AI has a native utility token named $GLORIA. The token operates on a blockchain compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), and its contract address is 0x3B313f5615Bbd6b200C71f84eC2f677B94DF8674. ^[2]

The token was first launched via the Virtuals.io platform, which focuses on AI-centric crypto projects. While detailed tokenomics such as total supply and allocation have not been publicly specified, the token's utility appears to be integrated into the Gloria AI platform. The presence of an "Upgrade Now" button and wallet connectivity on the Gloria Terminal suggests that the $GLORIA token may be used for purposes such as:

• Accessing premium features or higher tiers of service.
• Paying for subscription fees.
• Potential governance rights in the future.

The $GLORIA token is available for trading on the decentralized exchange Uniswap and is tracked on data aggregator platforms such as Dexscreener and Coingecko. ^[1]

Team

The founder of Gloria AI is John Chen, who is publicly associated with the project under the X handle @j0hnchen. He actively represents the project in media interviews and co-hosts community events. The official Gloria AI X account is noted as being "Automated by @j0hnchen," indicating his direct involvement in the project's operations and communications. ^[2]

Partnerships and Collaborations

Gloria AI has established several key relationships within the cryptocurrency and AI sectors to support its growth and technological development.

• Coinbase Developer Platform: This is a significant technical collaboration. Coinbase's developer arm publicly recognized and promoted Gloria AI's integration of the x402 protocol, providing validation and visibility for the project's technical approach.
• Virtuals.io: Gloria AI was launched as a "Genesis" project on the Virtuals.io platform. This platform served as the launchpad for the $GLORIA token and connects the project to an ecosystem focused on AI agents.
• AIXCB VC: The venture capital firm was an early investor in the project, participating in the genesis token launch. Their public announcement of a 25x return provided early validation of the project's market potential.
• CryptoSlam: This media outlet served as a platform for founder John Chen to communicate the project's vision to a wider audience through an interview.
• Community Collaborators: Gloria AI has engaged with the broader Web3 community by hosting X Spaces events with guests from other projects, including ZeshApps, FlagshipFYI, trize.io, and Build_Vertical.
