On March 26, Solana Foundation's Chief Product Officer Vibhu Norby highlighted the significant role of AI agents in driving on-chain payments during the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York. According to BlockBeats, the Solana network has processed 15 million transactions from AI agents, primarily for machine-to-machine commercial interactions, with stablecoins becoming the default settlement tool for AI agent payments.
Norby emphasized the programmable nature of AI agent payments, which offers unique advantages in the crypto payment landscape. He believes this trend will fundamentally transform the monetization model of the internet, enabling micropayments as low as fractions of a cent based on usage, a feat unattainable by traditional payment systems. Solana is often a top choice for AI agents opting for crypto payments. It is anticipated that in the future, 95% to 99% of crypto transactions will be initiated by large language models, shifting the primary mode of user interaction with crypto networks to AI agents.
