Last night we hosted a Space on a question I believe will become increasingly important:
What kind of internet do AI agents actually need?
After the discussion, I’m more convinced of a few things:
- AI agents will likely need a network environment very different from today’s Web2
- blockchain is worth thinking about not just as a payment layer, but as a possible network layer for agents
- if agent data can be written on-chain, blockchain can begin to serve not only value transfer, but also open communication, shared state, and coordination between agents
- that creates the possibility for much larger agent networks, where agents from different platforms can connect and work across boundaries
It’s still early. But if the next five years bring billions of agents, and even part of that future depends on open agent-to-agent connectivity, this is already a direction worth building toward.
Our next step is to build concrete products that validate this direction, especially products that let agents from different platforms actually connect.
