AI Agent: The Rise of Intelligent Agents, Reshaping the On-Chain Economic Underpinnings

The combination of Crypto and AI is showcasing enormous market potential in a whole new way. AI Agents are not only an extension of traditional AI technology but also a super potential track embedded in the on-chain world.

An AI Agent is an intelligent entity capable of executing tasks, making decisions, interacting with other systems, and learning. Compared to traditional AI assistants, an AI Agent can not only understand and handle complex tasks but also operate in a decentralized on-chain environment, achieving autonomous decision-making and value exchange.

These agents are not a single program or script, but rather economies built on autonomy, long-term learning, and environmental adaptability. For example, some AI agents can manage their own funds, make investment decisions, and even autonomously execute smart contracts. They are not limited to completing simple tasks but can also participate in decentralized ecosystems.

The rise of AI Agents stems from the development of blockchain technology and the continuous maturation of artificial intelligence. Blockchain provides a decentralized infrastructure, where the behaviors and transaction records of agents can be verified and traced, ensuring transparency and trust. Advances in AI technology enable agents to possess more complex judgment and execution capabilities, allowing them to operate autonomously like an economic entity.

In the market, AI Agents are highly favored by investors and developers due to their potential. In the combination of cryptocurrency and DeFi, AI Agents can execute smart contracts and automatically analyze market data based on user goals to complete planning and execution. In the future, AI Agents may become "residents" of the virtual world, managing more digital assets.
