AI agents
In recent months, the crypto and blockchain industries have increasingly embraced AI-powered autonomous agents thanks to the success of AI-focused projects like Truth Terminal and Virtuals Protocols.
These agents operate independently, mimicking human decision-making while adapting to their environments to achieve specific goals. Observers noted that this trend reflects the broader pivot toward artificial intelligence and tokenization within the blockchain space.
Indeed, leading venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz highlighted the potential for AI agents to become integral participants in blockchain networks. These agents could manage crypto wallets, sign transactions, and contribute to decentralized networks, unlocking a wealth of new use cases.
According to the firm, these agents could also operate nodes in decentralized infrastructure and play roles in high-value gaming ecosystems.
