Since the inception of blockchain, it is essentially a backend prepared for machines (code), not a frontend designed for humans.


Humans using blockchain is very "counterintuitive" and inefficient: remembering mnemonic phrases, understanding hexadecimal addresses, confirming Gas fees in wallet pop-ups. UI/UX has been iterating, but still few people can understand it.
But for AI Agents, blockchain is simply their "native playground" and "native bank."
Machines using blockchain will create a dimensionality reduction in efficiency:
1. Ultimate execution speed and high-frequency interactions
Humans respond in seconds, while AI responds in milliseconds. On public chains like Solana that pursue extremely high TPS and sub-second confirmations, or Layer 2 networks like ZKsync with low latency, human manual operations can't fully utilize these networks' performance. But AI can read on-chain data, evaluate states, sign, and broadcast within a few milliseconds via RPC nodes. For example, in complex arbitrage scenarios or high-frequency trading, AI can instantly compute routing across multiple DEXs and execute. So the large Gas spenders we see now are either phishing bots or MEV bots—that tells us blockchain isn't for human use.
2. Reshaping DeFi models
Traditional AMMs are static and passive because humans can't monitor 24/7 to adjust strategies. You say you can? Then you must be using scripts—single-cell robots.
If AI intervenes, mechanisms like PropAMMs (active market makers) can truly unleash their power.
AI can dynamically and high-frequency adjust liquidity curves and fee rates based on real-time on-chain volatility, order flow predictions, and even off-chain macroeconomic data. This machine learning-based automatic parameter tuning results in capital efficiency that humans simply can't match.
3. Perfect micro-payments and resource clearing networks
In the future decentralized internet architecture, there will be massive "micro-cooperation" among AI Agents. Here are some examples🌰:
Agent A needs to call Agent B's crawler data or purchase computing power (Tokens) from Agent C (you already have a great startup idea)—such calls can't use traditional payments because it's too slow. AI is the master of speed, and it needs ultra-fast payments: through blockchain, Agent A can directly stream pay 0.0001 stablecoins to Agent B within seconds via smart contracts, with no friction, no trusted intermediaries. Code is law, cryptography is trust.
By the way, I once doubted the phrase "Code is law" because it’s meant for humans, but for machines, it’s perfect logic.
4. Automated management of identity and permissions
For machines, private keys are the best proof of identity (DID). AI doesn't need human IDs, passports, or emails. A pair of public/private keys can give it property rights on-chain, deploy contracts, and even participate in DAO governance voting. They are more professional than humans—they can strictly follow preset game theory logic, unaffected by greed or fear. In this🌰, DAOs are designed for machines, not humans. If humans are involved, everyone loses.
If the internet solved information transfer among humans, then blockchain + smart contracts are the best protocol for value transfer among AI.
Blockchain developers, what are you waiting for? Delete all the code made for humans and focus on building infrastructure for machines—that’s the right direction!
