As AI takes a larger role in crypto, new infrastructure tokens are stepping up to support decentralized computing, content tools, and automated systems. In 2025, three projects are drawing interest for this shift: Internet Computer (ICP), Render Network (RNDR), and the fast-growing presale project Unstaked (UNSD).
Each one brings a clear goal. ICP is working to rebuild the web’s structure, Render is focused on solving GPU shortages, and Unstaked is developing AI agents for use in Web3 community tools. As more projects chase AI use cases, only one may offer the right mix of traction, early access, and market timing this May.
Here’s a closer look at how they compare.
Internet Computer (ICP): Advanced Design, But Still Waiting for Adoption
Internet Computer (ICP), led by the DFINITY Foundation, aims to rebuild the internet from the ground up. It allows full web applications to run directly on-chain using smart contracts built on a system called canisters.
ICP has recently added native AI support, allowing models to run and produce results within its smart contracts. This puts it close to the front of AI-focused blockchain tools.
The project runs under the Network Nervous System (NNS) and has added features like zero-knowledge support and better tools for developers. But even with these updates, usage has stayed low. Many developers find the system too complex, and general users are slow to adopt it.
In May 2025, ICP is priced at about $4.20 with a $2 billion market cap. That’s a strong number, but it may already reflect a lot of future expectations that have yet to play out.
Render Network (RNDR): Focused Utility and Strong Demand
Render Network (RNDR) addresses a clear and growing need in Web3 access to GPU compute. As AI tools, 3D media, and digital worlds expand, demand for GPUs is high. RNDR offers a way to rent unused GPU power and earn tokens in return.
The project has recently added support for AI use cases, including model inference. It also started working with platforms linked to Apple’s Vision Pro. The project’s use case is targeted and meets current needs, especially for VR creators, 3D artists, and AI developers.
Render has a strong value offering, but its reach is limited. RNDR is not built to host apps or act as a general blockchain. Instead, it is focused on computing power, unlike broader systems such as ICP or new agent-based platforms like Unstaked.
Unstaked (UNSD): Building AI Agents and Gaining Fast Traction
While ICP and RNDR are focused on building core infrastructure, Unstaked (UNSD) is working on turning AI into something usable. It is creating agents that are expected to support Web3 users by taking over tasks on platforms like Telegram and X. These tasks include managing communities, posting updates, and keeping users engaged. In this setup, agents are designed to take on roles often handled by human moderators.
The central feature of Unstaked is its Proof of Intelligence (PoI) system. Each action an agent takes is logged on-chain and scored based on how effective it is. Only those agents that show clear results get rewards. This helps create a system that rewards output and makes performance the key factor.
What sets Unstaked apart is its early stage and fast pace. It is still in Stage 3 of its public AI crypto presale, priced at $ $0.00689. The project has already raised over $1 million in few weeks, showing clear signs of strong early momentum.
The team has secured a $20 million liquidity pool for launch. It has also chosen not to include any VC allocations or private sales. In contrast to ICP’s complex structure and RNDR’s narrow GPU use case, Unstaked aims to be simple, useful, and ready to launch right after listing. Its tools are built with creators, crypto teams, and digital marketers in mind.
What AI Infrastructure Token Looks Strongest for May?
ICP presents a wide-ranging vision for blockchain and AI but faces slow adoption and technical barriers. Render has strong utility in GPU computing but remains focused on a narrow problem.
Unstaked is showing progress by building something practical, not just talking about future ideas. Its model of AI agents, clear on-chain scoring, and fast-growing crypto presale suggest it could be one of the early-stage projects with wider use ahead.
In May 2025, Unstaked (UNSD) may be more than just an AI project. Its timing and design point to a rare combination of usefulness and reach.
