As the 2026 cryptocurrency market begins with uneven footing following last year's volatility, AI-focused tokens are emerging as a steadier sector. Among them, Ozak AI (OZ) is showing rapid initial growth, highlighted by a presale that has raised over $5.63 million and sold more than 1.08 billion OZ tokens.
The project is currently in its seventh presale phase, with the token priced at $0.014. This represents a 1300% increase from its initial Phase 1 price of $0.001. The presale structure has seen consistent price hikes: Phase 2 at $0.002, Phase 3 at $0.003, Phase 4 at $0.005, Phase 5 at $0.010, and Phase 6 at $0.012.
Analysts project significant future valuation for OZ. The primary target is $1 by 2026, which would represent a 71x growth and a 7,042% ROI from the current presale price. Further projections suggest a potential price of $5 by the end of 2028 (350x growth) and $10 by the end of 2029 (700x growth).
Technologically, Ozak AI merges AI and blockchain to create predictive tools using real-time data. Its core infrastructure includes the Ozak Streaming Network (OSN), built on Apache Kafka and Apache Flink to collect live financial data from exchanges and news sites, and a Smart Contract Execution Layer that manages work distribution, payments, staking, and utilizes rollup technologies for efficiency.
The project is also forging strategic partnerships to fuel growth. It has partnered with Zeni, an AI-powered Web3 growth engine, and Echobit, an exchange designed for microsecond-order matching. Furthermore, Ozak AI is collaborating with Openledger on verifiable data infrastructure for AI agents.
This collaboration was the focus of a high-impact xSpaces discussion held on January 13th, 2026. The session, featuring Ozak AI CEO Pax Reid, Openledger Core Contributor Ram Kumar, and Ozak AI Community Lead Rick Thompson, explored how trusted data and transparent execution are becoming the foundation for scalable and profitable AI agents. The discussion emphasized that verifiable data is crucial as AI agents evolve from experimental tools into systems with real economic impact.
Ozak AI's ecosystem development is advancing, with its EON platform now live, marking a transition from development to deployment. The project has also undergone security audits by CertiK and Sherlock and gained visibility through listings on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.
