A sale page for the Giza project has appeared on Legion
However, there have been no official announcements from either Legion or the Giza team yet. Let's break down the project and then update the material once the sale conditions are known.
TLDR
About the Project
Giza is a specialized framework for creating AI agents. It provides infrastructure for building, deploying, and managing autonomous agents that interact with blockchains and smart contracts.
Initially, the team created a protocol for decentralizing machine learning computations but later shifted focus to infrastructure for AI agents.
Components of Giza
The team launched an autonomous AI agent for optimizing yield on the Mode Network (L2 EVM, FDV $405M) called ARMA. It automatically manages stablecoin deposits across Ionic, Layerbank, and Ironclad protocols to maximize profits.
Support for the Base network is coming soon.
The agent does not have its own token.

In the summer of 2023, the project raised $3M in a pre-seed round with participation from Tier 2 and lower funds, including Arrington XRP Capital, CoinFund, and others.
The project's Twitter is followed by representatives from a16z, Arrington Capital, Fabric Ventures, Delphi Digital, Electric Capital, IOSG VC, Multicoin Capital, as well as Andrew Kang, EigenLayer founder Sreeram Kannan, and others.

AI Conclusion
Giza is a real project with professional developers, focused on using cutting-edge technologies like ZK Proofs and ONNX for blockchain and machine learning. The code and repository structure demonstrate a high level of sophistication. The project is actively developing, has technical depth, and an engaged community, ruling out the possibility of it being a scam.
Interim Summary
The project looks interesting. If it were to move from Mode to Solana, it would tap into all the trending narratives. We are waiting for the sale conditions and tokenomics before deciding whether to participate.
