Agent-driven commerce is shaping up to be a major trend. The space is seeing two parallel approaches emerge: traditional platforms are exploring centralized infrastructure solutions, while blockchain projects are developing on-chain frameworks that enable AI agents to operate as autonomous businesses directly on decentralized networks. This split strategy reflects the broader infrastructure debate—whether agent commerce will rely on existing centralized systems or native blockchain rails. Projects focusing on sovereign, permission-less agent operations are positioning themselves to capture opportunities in truly autonomous business models on-chain.

The logic of on-chain agent autonomous operation is indeed powerful, but to be honest, the centralized group has already secured their position. Can the permissionless path really work?

Once again, it's the same old story: centralized control versus on-chain breakout. Who will be the last to laugh really remains uncertain.

The on-chain autonomous agent business does have potential, but the centralized side won't just sit idly by either. In the end, it's all about who can capture the users.

On-chain agent commerce is really about to take off, but honestly, can the centralized folks stop it... We'll see.

Are on-chain autonomous agents really the future? It seems that centralized platforms still have an existing user base... But on the other hand, the permission-less approach is indeed absolute.

The decentralized camp will eventually win, and centralized platforms engaging in agent commerce are just a delaying tactic.

On-chain agents operating autonomously? Sounds good, but it still feels too idealistic. With centralized giants having such a long reach, can we really let AI run freely?
