Stride’s AI agent protocol Echos shuts down

Echos, the artificial intelligence platform for agentic tokens, is shutting down. On March 27, the AI agent platform, developed by Cosmos based liquid staking platform Stride, notified its community that operations will cease on May 1, 2025. Echos, which launched in beta in November 2024, cited low adoption as the main reason for its closure. According to a notice posted on X, the experiment failed to gain meaningful traction, reflecting a broader slowdown in the crypto AI agent space. “Echos was always an experiment. Unfortunately, Echos has seen little adoption. Also, the overall AI agents market has contracted significantly,” the team stated. Echos is a Stride app built on Celestia, designed as a rollup. From vision to sunset At launch, the Stride team envisioned Echos’ AI and memecoin focus as a potential disruptor to the future of decentralized finance . The plan was to evolve Echos from an experimental product into a full rollup ecosystem supporting various use cases within Stride’s liquid staking network. However, a lack of user traction has brought those ambitions to an end. The Echos team has urged all users to withdraw their funds before the platform shuts down permanently on May 1.

It went on to hit $1 billion in market cap . Terminal of Truths, a large language model platform backed by Marc Andreessen of Andreessen Horowitz, gained notoriety after shilling the GOAT token on X—an action that sent the memecoin soaring. Stride’s vision for Echos was to create a similar AI experience, allowing anyone to launch their own Echo using just a crypto wallet and X account. While Echos failed to go beyond the first phase of its development, the AI agent sector has since seen several notable projects. Some of the top trending ones include Virtuals Protocol, ai16z, Freysa AI and Delysium. You might also like: Virtuals Protocol launches Virtuals Partners Network to accelerate AI agent development
