Solana bets on AI agents: The foundation claims the network is becoming the core infrastructure of the "agent internet."
The Solana Foundation stated that it will position the Solana network as the core infrastructure of the emerging "agentic internet," where economic activities are initiated and executed by AI systems rather than humans.
Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer of the Solana Foundation, stated at the New York Digital Assets Summit that AI is not a single vertical industry but a platform transformation that affects various sectors, including crypto. The strategic core of Solana is payment infrastructure, and the network has processed approximately 15 million on-chain payments initiated by agents, primarily for machine-to-machine commercial transactions. The programmatic nature of crypto payments is key to attracting agents, and stablecoins will become the default method for paying for any computational resources.
Vibhu Norby believes this will fundamentally reshape internet business models, making micropayments and pay-per-use possible, which traditional payment channels cannot support. The Solana Foundation emphasizes that its high-performance design has advantages in this new paradigm: "Agents are calm, precise machines... If you ask agents how to use crypto payments, Solana often ranks as the preferred choice."
Additionally, advancements in AI technology have lowered the development threshold, and Solana developers are directly building tools for AI systems, including machine-readable "skill" files and AI-first development platforms. Norby anticipates that in the future, user interactions with crypto will default to agents, with 95% to 99% of transactions initiated by large language models (LLMs).
