Binance has announced support for the token swap and rebranding of AI16Z to ELIZAOS, marking a key step in the ongoing Alpha 2.0 ecosystem upgrade aimed at enhancing interoperability for AI-driven applications across multiple blockchains.
According to the Oct. 31 announcement, both Binance Alpha and Binance Futures will handle the redenomination and rebranding process starting Nov. 6. Trading for AI16Z will be suspended at 10:00 UTC that day to allow the swap to proceed.
All AI16Z balances held in Binance Alpha 2.0 accounts will be automatically converted to ELIZAOS at a 1:6 ratio. Trading and deposits for ELIZAOS are scheduled to resume at 02:00 UTC on Nov. 7. Binance advised users to complete all AI16Z deposits before the suspension, as the token will no longer be supported afterward.
On Binance Futures, all open AI16ZUSDT perpetual contracts will be closed and settled at 09:00 UTC on Nov. 6, with new positions blocked from 08:30 UTC. The contract will be delisted after settlement, and Binance noted that no Futures Insurance Fund support will be available during the final hour before settlement. Details on a potential relisting will be shared later.
ELIZAOS Supply to Expand to 11 Billion
Following the migration, ELIZAOS will have a total supply of 11 billion tokens, up from AI16Z’s 6.6 billion. The circulating supply will rise to 7.4 billion, with additional distribution details to be provided in a future update.
The rebrand marks a significant evolution for the Auto.fun project, where AI16Z originally served as the native token for its autonomous AI agent platform. The transition to ELIZAOS reflects a broader move toward a more scalable, interoperable, and AI-native ecosystem.
Inspired by the original ELIZA chatbot from the 1960s, the new name underscores the platform’s focus on generative AI capabilities and cross-chain functionality.
Auto.fun first opened a migration portal in September, explaining that the shift to ELIZAOS was crucial for enabling decentralized AI operations across networks like Solana, Base, and Ethereum. By adopting ELIZAOS as a cross-chain utility token, the platform aims to eliminate the need for bridges and streamline asset movement across its growing $20 billion AI ecosystem.
