Gate News message, April 28 — TON Tech, the development team behind Telegram’s preferred blockchain TON, has launched AI-powered agents capable of autonomously executing key on-chain transactions. Users can fund a dedicated wallet for an agent, which can then perform transfers, swaps, DeFi activities including automated trading within set budgets, staking, and basic portfolio management.
The launch follows a major crypto exchange’s introduction of agentic trading, where AI models like Claude and ChatGPT can be connected to trading accounts to autonomously monitor markets and execute trades. The development reflects a broader trend of “agentic AI” gaining traction across and outside the crypto sector, where users increasingly empower AI bots to access digital services and execute transactions. Andrew Grekov, head of TON Tech, stated: “Agentic Wallets turn AI agents from assistants to actors. Agents on Telegram can not only communicate, but transact — making payments and interacting with on-chain services on behalf of users, without ever touching their keys.”
Activity on the TON blockchain has declined significantly since late 2024, when active addresses briefly exceeded 1 million users; current active user numbers have fallen below 100,000. Meanwhile, Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov announced earlier this month that TON had been upgraded to achieve sub-second transaction finality.
