The Agent Economy: when AI manages Its own money
AI agents are evolving into a new phase with the ability to act economically thanks to blockchain. They can now operate wallets, execute payments, interact with smart contracts, and manage assets without direct human intervention. This removes barriers from the traditional financial system, where they were not recognized as entities. New infrastructures are emerging, such as wallets designed for machines, temporary permissions (EIP-7702), and automated machine-to-machine payments. Real-world use cases already exist in DeFi and decentralized identity systems. However, risks remain, including key security, fraud, latency, and regulatory gaps. This convergence is redefining the financial system by enabling software to act as an autonomous economic agent.
