AI agents attracted $79.5 million in investment in Q3 2024 and are expected to reach a market size of $47.1 billion by 2030. But what are even “AI agents”?
AI agents can simply be seen as bots, but with artificial intelligence capabilities. This means they are able to autonomously do much more complex tasks than regular bots.
The meta was kickstarted by Terminal of Truths, a semi-autonomous AI agent that posts tweets and interacts with users on X. However, AI agents can be used in several other ways in crypto.
AI Agents are able to gather and process real-time market data, and so can be used to monitor markets and execute trades in real-time.
AI agents can be used to generate unique digital art pieces or intelligent NFTs (iNFTs) that interact with users.
With blockchain, AI agents can directly access their own wallets, and so can be leveraged to enable pay-per-request models and seamless transfers.
Predictions are that more than 80% of all blockchain transactions will be done by AI agents in the next 6-12 months.
