Distilled AI

Distilled AI is a crypto project, not the machine-learning technique of model distillation. It built MESH, a no-code tool for making AI agents, and powered agents.land, a Solana launchpad where those agents got their own tokens. Its best-known output was the MAX token, launched in December 2024. Oraichain Labs released agents.land.

As of October 2026, the project appears inactive. In October 2025 Oraichain began folding MAX into a new token, LFG. Distilled AI's own X account last posted on 31 December 2025. Its documentation domain now serves an unrelated gaming site. The main website still loads, but it shows a 2024 copyright, and its newest blog posts date from May 2025. MAX still trades on Solana in thin volume.

What happened to Distilled AI and agents.land?

The clearest change is the token. On 7 October 2025, Oraichain announced it was consolidating its DeFi tokens (MAX, ORAIX, AIRI and RACKS) into one new token, LFG. LFG would launch on Solana, with a perpetuals exchange on its own LFG subchain. The conversion ran for a fixed three-month window after LFG's token generation event. Converted tokens became veLFG, a locked, non-transferable balance that unlocks into LFG over four months.

On 17 October 2025, the agents.land X account posted that "the new Agents.Land era begins with $veLFG". It said conversion was live and that MAX holders could get up to 3x veLFG for a limited time. That is the account's only post in the past year. The lfg.land site now describes itself with one line: "We make perps fun". In other words, the agent launchpad has given way to a perpetuals product.

The Distilled AI account changed too. Through late 2025 it shared general AI commentary and promoted Oraichain's Quant Terminal trading product and a workspace called Thesis.io, rather than MESH or agents.land. Its last post, on 31 December 2025, promoted the Quant Terminal. Two other accounts have been quiet for over a year: @maxisbuyin_, the X account of the MAX agent and the handle our listing records, and @agentsdotland apart from the one post above.

Is Distilled AI still active? The evidence

We class Distilled AI as inactive, based on these checks made on 14 October 2026:

• Docs domain lost. distilled.foundation, listed on the homepage as the Distilled Foundation, now serves an unrelated Indonesian-language gaming portal called PULSA303. It does not mention Distilled AI.
• No new writing. The blog lists five posts, all dated 14 May 2025.
• Stale homepage. distilled.ai still describes MESH, agents.land and the three showcase agents, but its footer reads "2024 Distilled AI". It announces nothing newer.
• Quiet social accounts. There has been no Distilled AI post since 31 December 2025, and no MAX agent post in the past year.
• Token folded away. MAX was named as one of four tokens being merged into LFG in October 2025.

We found no formal shutdown notice. MESH and agents.land still load, but each returned only its page title to our fetches, so we could not confirm that either works.

How agents.land worked

agents.land was a one-click launchpad for AI agents on Solana. Oraichain Labs released it on 11 December 2024. The launch release said it used Distilled AI's MESH to set up each agent. Users gave an agent a name, a personality and its own knowledge, with no code.

Here is how a launch worked, per the launchpad's docs and Gate Learn:

1. A creator paid 1,000 MAX to create an agent.
2. Community members locked MAX in the agent's subscription vault. Once the vault reached 5 million MAX, a 23-hour countdown started.
3. Subscribers got a one-hour early "party round", capped at 1% of the allocation per wallet, before an open round.
4. Tokens traded on a bonding curve. A coin that grew enough moved to public DEXs. IBTimes reported in January 2025 that the listing trigger was a 200 SOL market cap, with liquidity going to Raydium RAY$1.84-1.1% and Oraichain's OraiDEX.

At launch, Oraichain Labs said agents could create and manage tokens, trade on DEXs, lend and borrow, sell pay-gated services, take tips and pay their own GPU costs. Their private keys were held in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).

What was the MAX token used for?

MAX (MAX) was the utility token of agents.land. It had a total supply of about 1 billion and launched through a fair sale on 2 December 2024. The tokenomics page lists these uses:

• paying the 1,000 MAX agent creation fee and for agent upkeep on Distilled AI;
• locking in Strongbox Vaults for one, three or six months (1x, 1.5x or 2x weight). Every agents.land launch put 2% of its supply into an airdrop pool for these stakers;
• locking for 14 days in subscription vaults, which gave whitelist access to new launches;
• betting in a prediction market (3% of prizes burned) and serving as collateral for a USDAI stablecoin.

MAX reached a $100 million market cap in early January 2025, per IBTimes. It was listed on Poloniex and Gate.io's Pilot Zone at launch. Since October 2025 its main role has been as one of the tokens eligible to convert into LFG. The live price and liquidity are shown on this page.

MESH and the MAX, BlackRack and Degenerator agents

MESH was Distilled AI's agent messaging app and builder at mesh.distilled.ai. The homepage still showcases three agents built on it:

• MAX, a prototype agent focused on predicting Bitcoin trends and market analysis.
• BlackRack, presented as an AI hedge fund managing 100,000 ORAI from the Oraichain DAO treasury.
• Degenerator, a meme-making agent.

The homepage names five partners: Cupiee, Kawaii, OrchAI, Modestus and A8. It also links a Dune dashboard. The team's last blog post came out in May 2025. It is about "Agent Spaces", its plan for many agents working together. It has three layers: a way for agents to talk to tools and each other, a way to share memory and split up tasks, and room to add more agents.

Who Distilled AI is relevant to now

This page is mainly useful to two groups. The first is people who still hold MAX and want to know what happened to it. The second is researchers looking back at the AI agent token wave of late 2024 and early 2025. It is not a live platform to build on: there is no sign of new launches, products or support. If you still hold MAX, the useful question is whether Oraichain's LFG conversion window is still open. On the stated three-month timeline it has probably closed, so check Oraichain's official channels.

Distilled AI and MAX risks

• The project appears abandoned. No team activity in 2026, a lost docs domain and a token being merged away all point to no further development or support.
• Thin trading. MAX still trades on Solana, but in small volume. That means high slippage and prices that are easy to move.
• A hijacked domain. distilled.foundation now hosts an unrelated gaming portal. Any old link or bookmark to it should be treated as unsafe, and so should any site claiming to be Distilled AI support.
• Unclear on-chain control. Our listing records no program addresses for Distilled AI or agents.land, and we found no public audit, so we could not check who controls their contracts. The TEE key-custody claims come from the project and were never independently verified in anything we found.
• Dependence on Oraichain. MAX, MESH and agents.land were all tied to Oraichain. Its October 2025 decision to fold MAX into LFG shows the token's future was decided by that ecosystem, not by MAX holders.

Alternatives to agents.land

Want to launch a plain token on Solana, with no AI agent? Our Solana token tool does that. Solana Compass runs it, and its fees support our liquid staking token. For other launchpads, see our list of Solana launchpads. For LFG and the Quant Terminal, see the Oraichain page.
