**Theoriq Launches Testnet for AI Agents on Blockchain**
Decentralized AI and Web3 firm Theoriq has launched its Testnet, marking a significant milestone in blockchain-based AI technology. This network is designed for AI agentsâautonomous systems that perform specific tasks.
Theoriq, recently accepted into the Google Cloud Startup Program, now has access to Google Cloud's services and infrastructure to develop its protocol. The firmâs AI agents can collaborate in collectives to perform complex tasks across multiple domains.
CEO Ron Bodkin announced that the mainnet is scheduled for later this year, with open-source protocol fundamentals and a comprehensive security audit. Developer grants will also be available to support innovation on the platform.
During the Testnet phase, Theoriq will further develop its AI agents, which are designed to plan, access data, use tools, make decisions, and engage with the real world. These agents can specialize in tasks like analyzing social data, querying trading data, code generation, and image creation.
Bodkin highlighted the potential for decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) providers to use these agents for interacting with smart contracts, controlling assets, and making micropayments, enhancing automation in Web3. "Our AI Agents are ready to reshape how we interact with technology," he said, ushering in what he calls the "Agentic Age."
