Autonomous AI Economics Is Taking Shape

The AI economy wave we've been hearing about? It's not a future scenario anymore—it's actively unfolding.

New platforms are pushing AI agents beyond traditional boundaries. Imagine AI applications and even robotic systems operating as completely self-directed businesses, executing transactions and business logic directly on the blockchain without intermediaries. No corporate overhead, no permission layers—just intelligent agents running autonomous operations on-chain.

This shift transforms how we think about business models. When AI agents can manage assets, make decisions, and settle transactions natively on decentralized networks, you're looking at a fundamentally new economic layer emerging in the Web3 ecosystem.

ngl if this wave of AI autonomous economy really takes off, traditional business models will have to be completely reshuffled.

Nah, this really is creating something out of nothing—AI running its own business? Sounds pretty crazy, but... kind of addictive.

Honestly, the AI autonomous economy should have arrived long ago; I'm just worried it will turn out to be another hype.

Haha, AI automated trading eliminates middlemen. Isn't this just an upgraded version of my long-standing dream of free riding, making money without even thinking? --- Are you trying to fool me again? You said the same thing two years ago, and the project was wiped out in a month. --- Wait, on-chain direct settlement... Doesn't that mean in the future, all airdrops will have to be automated? My manual Schrödinger arbitrage is about to become unemployed. --- Wow, if AI could just go all-in and trade by itself, I could sleep and leave it to harvest profits. Probably not realistic, right? --- It's called an autonomous economy in a nice way, but in a less nice way, it's robots trying to take back the opportunity to recover their costs from us.
