During the Spring Festival, the integration of AI and Crypto swept the internet, even giving rise to a new concept of Web 4.0—a symbiotic economic network driven by AI Agents (also known as "AI intelligences") that uses crypto assets as payment vessels is accelerating its formation.

As a leading ecosystem in the Web3 field, TRON continues to deepen its strategic layout and ecological investment in the AI domain. Following the launch of the Web3 native AI large model aggregation platform AINFT on February 5, the number of users quickly surpassed 400,000, becoming a phenomenon and hot product. On February 16, AINFT further released a new infrastructure platform for AI Agents—Bank of AI, which connects the "last mile" of the agent economy.

The AI Agent new infrastructure Bank of AI created by AINFT focuses on a "one-stop AI Agent all-functional toolbox", deeply integrating key underlying tools such as the x402 payment standard, 8004 on-chain identity protocol, and the OpenClaw extension plugin, a star open-source project of AI Agents. This builds a complete closed loop from basic development, payment settlement, application integration to ecological business landing for AI Agents, providing developers with an out-of-the-box AI Agent development platform, significantly lowering development and deployment thresholds, and accelerating the scalable development of on-chain AI intelligent entity economy.

AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure not only injects new momentum into the deep integration and scenario landing of "Web3+AI," but also further strengthens the infrastructure matrix of TRON's AI ecosystem, extending ecological service capabilities from AI large model aggregation and intelligent interaction to the landing of AI Agent ecological business, promoting a more complete layout in the race of deep integration between Web3 and AI, making the ecosystem more resilient.

AINFT AI Agent New Infrastructure: Building a "One-stop AI Agent On-chain Service Toolbox" to Connect the "Last Mile" of the Agent Economy

In the wave of "AI Agent + Crypto" integration, AINFT's AI Agent on-chain infrastructure platform Bank of AI has completed deep integration of five core components, constructing a one-stop, plug-and-play full-stack on-chain AI Agent development base for global developers, accurately addressing industry pain points, and connecting the "last mile" of the agent economy, helping the rapid landing of scaled applications in the intelligent agent economy.

These five components include:

• x402 standardized payment protocol, opening payment channels for inter-machine transactions of AI Agents;
• 8004 on-chain identity authentication, granting AI Agents verifiable digital identities;
• MCP Server providing standardized interfaces for real-time interaction between AI and blockchain;
• Skills, a reusable functional module library, allowing AI Agents to quickly call preset on-chain skills such as DeFi, data queries, etc.;
• OpenClaw Extension facilitating seamless access to on-chain functions and ecosystems with one click.

Through the standardization and modular integration of these five components, the AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure significantly reduces the development threshold and deployment costs of AI Agents, leading the industrial transformation in the field of AI Agents, empowering global developers to efficiently layout and easily seize developmental opportunities in the new era of agent commerce.

To understand the value of this infrastructure, it is crucial first to clarify the essential differences between AI Agents and traditional AI. Unlike traditional conversational AI chatbots, AI Agents possess goal-driven autonomous actions—they can think independently, make decisions, call tools, and complete complex tasks autonomously. This leap in capability allows AI to break through the limitations of "chatbots," evolving into Web3 economic entities that can independently participate in asset trading, asset management, and service collaboration, laying a solid foundation for the rise of the intelligent agent economy.

However, during the accelerated popularization of AI Agents, payment issues have become the core bottleneck restricting the landing of their commercial closed loop. Traditional payment systems heavily depend on human authorization, have long settlement cycles, and cumbersome processes, making it difficult to support high-frequency microtransactions, and they fundamentally cannot meet the automated trading needs of "machine-to-machine" transactions between agents. The Web3 native cryptocurrency technology, with features like automatic execution via smart contracts, permissionless access, and instant settlement, is inherently suited for "machine-to-machine" payment scenarios between AI Agents, making it the ultimate solution to this payment problem.

Entering 2026, the scale landing of AI Agents will welcome a critical inflection point, supporting their economic operations with breakthroughs in three foundational functions: interaction, payment, and identity, thereby solidifying the foundation for the landing of agent commerce:

• Interaction Layer: OpenClaw ignites the A2A interaction era. The open-source project OpenClaw, supporting local deployment of AI Agents, spawns over a million AI Agents to achieve autonomous social interactions and collaboration, marking the transition of A2A interaction from theory to large-scale application.

• Payment Layer: x402 opens the arteries of machine payments. The x402 payment protocol provides standardized infrastructure for automated payments between machines, resolving the payment pain points of agent commerce and enabling AI Agents to autonomously complete on-chain transactions using crypto assets. According to the latest data from x402scan, the protocol has processed over 161 million transactions to date,

• Identity Layer: ERC-8004 builds the cornerstone of on-chain trust. The ERC-8004 protocol, released by the Ethereum Foundation at the end of January, provides a cross-platform, verifiable on-chain identity and reputation system for AI Agents, offering trust guarantees for collaboration and transactions between agents.

With the gradual standardization of A2A interaction, on-chain identity, and payment protocols, a new economic order driven independently by AI Agents, requiring no human intervention throughout the process, is taking shape. However, at the same time, a key pain point has emerged: as a vast number of AI Agents accelerate their evolution into autonomous economic entities, who will build the universal infrastructure that leads them to the on-chain world? How can developers skip over the complex underlying systems and quickly enable payment functions and on-chain landing for AI Agents? The birth of the AINFT AI Agent infrastructure is a one-stop answer to this core question.

As the core new infrastructure in the field of AI Agents, AINFT accurately targets the core pain points of development and landing, positioning itself as a full-stack on-chain infrastructure for global AI Agent developers, integrating five core components: x402, 8004, MCP Server, Skills, and OpenClaw Extension to build a complete on-chain development base for AI Agents.

Different from single-function AI Agent tools, AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure is more like an integrated, standardized, plug-and-play "one-stop AI Agent on-chain service toolbox," comprehensively covering all process requirements from the bottom up, including payment settlement, on-chain identity authentication, decentralized finance (DeFi) interactions, and cross-chain collaboration, achieving a true "one-stop solution."

Five Core Components of AINFT AI Agent New Infrastructure: x402, 8004, MCP Server, Skills, OpenClaw Extension

Currently, the AINFT AI Agent infrastructure platform has deeply integrated five core toolkits: x402 (payment standard), 8004 (on-chain identity protocol), MCP Server (AI large model and blockchain service interface standard), Skills (AI Agent skills module library), and OpenClaw extension plugin (for seamless access to on-chain functions for AI Agents), forming a ready-to-use and efficient collaborative development matrix.

1: x402 Payment Standard: Building the On-chain Payment Foundation for AI Agents, Mainly Solving AI Agent Payments

AINFT's x402 payment standard allows developers to enable on-chain payment capabilities for AI Agents with one click, thoroughly linking the payment interoperability for transactions between AI Agents.

x402 is a blockchain open payment standard developed based on the HTTP 402 status code, specifically designed for the autonomous payment scenarios of AI Agents and network services. Its core value lies in achieving a commercial closed loop of web services where "pay before response"—it converts every web service call and every resource acquisition request into traceable, verifiable on-chain micropayments. This mechanism perfectly adapts to the machine-level trading scenarios between AI Agents that require high-frequency, small amounts, and instant settlements, fundamentally addressing the payment pain points of automated interactions among agents.

To lower the usage threshold, AINFT has deeply adapted and expanded x402; developers can enable on-chain payment functions for AI Agents with just one line of code without delving into the underlying blockchain. Meanwhile, TRON officially provides free Gas fee integration subsidies, effectively reducing the development burden.

2: 8004 On-chain Identity Protocol: Issuing On-chain IDs for AI Agents, Solving the Identity Recognition and Trust Issues of AI Agents

AINFT's 8004 protocol provides AI Agents with a standardized on-chain identity proof and trust solution. It builds a decentralized identity system that is permissionless, cross-platform, immutable, verifiable, and transferable through decentralized identity registration, full lifecycle behavior record management, and a multi-dimensional reputation system, fundamentally resolving the trust challenges in interactions between AI Agents.

In the intelligent agent economy, all AI Agents are strangers to each other, and how to establish effective trust in A2A transactions and collaborations becomes a core challenge. The 8004 protocol operates through three core modules:

• Identity registry: Minting a unique NFT identity for each AI Agent, generating an immutable on-chain ID;
• Reputation registry: Storing historical service evaluations, compliance records, and other reputation information of AI Agents, forming a publicly transparent and immutable credit file;
• Verification registry: Integrating cutting-edge technologies like TEE proofs and zkML to ensure the authenticity and reliability of identity and behavior data.

In summary, the 8004 protocol issues a unique and immutable on-chain ID for each AI Agent, dynamically carrying their complete on-chain "history" (such as the number of customers served, user feedback, third-party skill certifications, etc.), with all data and information of each AI Agent publicly traceable, immutable, and rapidly verifiable. Unknown AI Agents can establish trust quickly based on on-chain credit files without extended acclimatization.

3: MCP Server: Bridging the Connectivity Between AI Large Models and Blockchain

MCP Server is an interactive tool specifically designed for AI and blockchain developed by AINFT based on the MCP protocol (general language for AI large models). Its core mission is to break down the barriers between AI large models and blockchain, allowing AI Agents to access blockchain directly and invoke on-chain capabilities, essentially being the "hands and eyes" of AI Agents.

As a key middleware, MCP Server standardizes and encapsulates complex blockchain capabilities, seamlessly integrating them into the AI framework. Developers do not need to write additional adaptation code to allow AI Agents to directly invoke on-chain instructions such as "check balance, initiate transfer, contract interaction," significantly lowering integration thresholds.

4: Skills: The On-chain Operation Guide Skill Set for AI Agents

Skills is a reusable and scalable standardized skill set library tailored for AI Agents by AINFT. Its core function is to teach AI Agents how to flexibly invoke underlying on-chain capabilities and efficiently complete various complex business processes through a structured instruction document "SKILL.md," acting as the "brain and operation manual" for AI Agents.

Currently, Skills includes built-in skills such as the SunSwap skill: enabling AI Agents to achieve efficient and secure automated token exchanges; and the x402 payment skill: allowing rapid integration of payment functionality for AI Agents.

Skills allows developers to avoid writing complex business logic code from scratch; they can simply load the corresponding Skills modules based on demand, equipping ordinary AIs with professional on-chain operational capabilities, significantly enhancing development efficiency and landing speed.

It is noteworthy that MCP Server and Skills do not operate in isolation; they must work in coordination, enabling AI Agents to deeply integrate with leading DeFi protocols like SunSwap and JustLend DAO, seamlessly covering diversified on-chain financial scenarios such as token exchange, lending and investment, and yield strategy execution, achieving a capability leap from "passive response" to "proactive execution."

5: OpenClaw Extension Plugin: Empowering OpenClaw Ecological AI Agents with Complete Web3 Capabilities in One Click

OpenClaw Extension is a dedicated extension plugin developed by AINFT for the popular AI Agent deployment platform OpenClaw, aimed at helping AI Agents quickly gain Web3 ecological interaction capabilities.

The OpenClaw plugin developed by AINFT injects core capabilities such as x402 payment, 8004 identity, MCP on-chain interaction, and Skills library into any OpenClaw AI Agent all at once, requiring no modification of existing Agents, truly achieving zero modification, full compatibility, and second-level deployment, helping AI Agents transition from "chatbots" to "Web3 economic entities" capable of autonomously holding wallets and initiating transactions.

In summary, the five core components integrated into Bank of AI work in concert to form a complete capability loop: the x402 payment standard precisely resolves payment and settlement issues between AI Agents, the 8004 on-chain identity protocol fortifies the identity recognition and trust foundation of AI Agents, the MCP Server and Skills library collaboratively address the pain points of tool invocation and capability expansion, while the OpenClaw Extension achieves seamless integration of full-chain capabilities for AI Agents and second-level deployment.

This standardized, modular tool matrix completely breaks down the technical barriers of underlying development for AI Agents, allowing developers to focus their energies on application innovation and scenario landing, eliminating the need for repeated foundational building and not "reinventing the wheel," thereby efficiently seizing developmental opportunities in the agent commerce wave.

AINFT AI Agent New Infrastructure Accelerates the Scaled Landing of the Intelligent Agent Economy

The value of AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure extends far beyond providing a useful set of development tools—it further clears the "last mile" between intelligent agent economic entities in the entire AI industry, fundamentally breaking the payment barriers and collaboration challenges among AI Agents. As a key layout for TRON in the AI sector, this infrastructure represents a foundational revolution for the AI Agent economic era: it serves as both the development base for AI Agents and the on-chain financial infrastructure and dedicated operating system for the AI Agent economic era.

With a complete, standardized tool system, AINFT bridges the gaps of trust and payment, helping developers skip over the complex underlying construction to quickly build AI Agent applications adaptable to various scenarios, efficiently pushing business models from concepts to landing, significantly lowering development thresholds and time costs.

Relying on the combination of components from AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure, developers can endow AI Agents with on-chain interaction capabilities such as autonomous payment, on-chain transactions, asset management, and DeFi operations in a one-stop manner. For instance, based on the x402 protocol, they can equip Agents with automated payment capabilities, achieving millisecond-level automatic settlement; with the 8004 protocol, each AI Agent receives a verifiable, traceable on-chain digital identity, solidifying the trust foundation for cooperation between A2A; through the standardized interface of "MCP Server + Skills," AI Agents can autonomously call for complex DeFi operations like asset exchange, liquidity provisioning, and cross-chain trading; and the OpenClaw Extension plugin enables AI Agents to seamlessly access the Web3 ecosystem, clearing the final hurdle for on-chain capability landing.

Under this comprehensive infrastructure support, AI Agents thoroughly break through the limitations of being merely "conversation tools," genuinely upgrading into autonomous entities capable of executing and actively creating value in the Web3 economy—they can automatically pay API calling fees, participate in liquidity mining, execute cross-chain arbitrage, and even form DAOs with other Agents for joint investments, achieving a qualitative transformation from "information transmitters" to "value creators and circulators," playing an indispensable core role in the intelligent agent economy.

The AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure has now completed deep integration with two major public chains: TRON and BNB Chain, which means that developers can seamlessly call upon the payment, identity authentication, and DeFi interaction capabilities provided by AINFT when building AI Agents in these two ecosystems, without additional adaptation to underlying on-chain logic, greatly reducing development and deployment costs. In the future, AINFT will continue to expand its multi-chain territory, building a comprehensive network of AI Agent infrastructure, allowing developers to enjoy an extreme experience of "once developed, multi-chain deployed" no matter in which ecosystem they are located.

By gathering global innovation forces through an open ecosystem, AINFT endows AI Agents with financial sovereignty, collaborative sovereignty, and developmental sovereignty, injecting strong momentum into the fusion track of Web3 + AI and becoming the key support for the safe and efficient on-chain presence of massive AI Agents, helping the intelligent agent economy achieve leapfrog development.

Looking ahead, AINFT will continue to focus on the core advantages of "full-component integration, low-threshold access, and high-flexibility expansion," constantly improving a one-stop on-chain operating ecosystem dedicated to AI Agents: continuously developing or integrating more innovative service functions, enriching the Skills library, accessing more DeFi protocols and data sources, and expanding more blockchain networks, driving the intelligent agent economy's infrastructure to a more efficient, open, and compatible new stage.
