Blockchain's Future: AI Agents Take the Lead in 2024

AI is expected to play a central role in the future of technology, according to Nansen's 2024 forecast. It predicts that AI agents will become key players in the blockchain ecosystem, offering security and efficiency. These AI agents can handle transactions, securely hold assets, and facilitate value exchange for users, potentially becoming a primary category of users within the blockchain landscape. However, distinguishing between human and AI interactions within the blockchain is crucial, and cryptographic methods for verification are essential. Token-based rewards are seen as a way to incentivize AI models, with tokens associated with AI projects gaining traction, even in challenging market conditions. The focus is shifting towards consumer-oriented applications that leverage existing technology, but identifying the intended beneficiaries remains a challenge.
