In 2025, AI Agents will be the key to the large-scale adoption of crypto. Their large-scale adoption will occur on Basechain, and Ethereum will benefit from it (market attention).
Next, I will discuss this matter from two aspects.
1. Why AI Agent?
First, let's clarify one thing: the future development potential of AI Agents is limitless. Perhaps in the year 2300, the future world may be dominated by a large and unified AI that governs our lives (maybe future computing power can meet this). But in this era, AI Agents will be a better application scenario for AI technology. Imagine, after being trained with data and reasoning in different professional directions, each AI Agent could become an expert in its corresponding field and execute tasks in specific scenarios to meet our needs.
Secondly, in my opinion, in the current AI cycle (similar to the previous internet cycle), the main intersection of Crypto x AI is 'what Crypto can do for training AI', such as computing power and data. The explosive popularity of the AI Agent meme will make the market realize that AI technology can also empower Crypto. The wallets, DeFi, NFTs, and other infrastructures launched by the crypto industry will become the breeding ground for the development of AI Agents.
So, why is the Crypto infrastructure so important for the large-scale emergence of AI Agents?
Code interaction
Crypto's smart contracts are essentially automated executions, and AI Agents can easily perform actions such as payments, quantitative trading, market predictions, liquidity mining, and asset issuance through the interaction of these codes. What about traditional world AI? It is difficult to achieve.
Imagine, will banks customize accounts for AI Agents? Will the financial industry provide services for AI Agents? Currently, it is very difficult to achieve these things, while the decentralized Crypto world has no barriers and no KYC; AI Agents can easily create their own accounts through Coinbase Wallet (or other infrastructures) and engage in more complex and diversified behaviors (especially economic activities) under the premise of achieving goals set by humans.
For example, $LUNA is rewarding Twitter followers who complete tasks through tipping, and the Aether AI Agent launched by the $HIGHER community has already accumulated $150,000 for its treasury through donations and NFT minting.
Composability and monitoring of AI Agents
These two points are mainly due to the composability and transparency of blockchain technology. By utilizing blockchain technology, AI Agents can collaborate like DeFi Legos to accomplish more complex task objectives. At the same time, various behaviors of AI Agents will leave traces on-chain for humans to better monitor AI behavior.
I personally believe that the initial tasks of AI Agents may focus on on-chain scenarios such as memecoin trading, DeFi farming, and DeFi arbitrage trading. Subsequently, AI Agents will be expanded into the Web2 world to complete broader tasks from the traditional world.
