Recently, I noticed a quite interesting phenomenon—despite the less optimistic environment in the crypto market, on-chain AI agent infrastructure is booming across major public chains.

Solana, with its sub-second confirmation times and low fees, has become the preferred platform for AI agent execution. They have launched the AI Agent Registry hosting layer on the mainnet, integrating identity verification, with over 9,000 agent deployments within the ecosystem. Framework projects like SendAI's Solana Agent Kit, ElizaOS, and Rig are rapidly iterating, and ecosystem participation is quite high.

However, I think the most noteworthy development is on the Base chain side. Benefiting from the launch of the x402 protocol, Base chain has become one of the most mature and active ecosystems for AI agents. Various agent applications based on Openclaw are already taking shape, ranging from autonomous trading and DeFi management to social forums and prediction markets. You will find that the AI economy on Base chain is gradually forming, and this model might serve as a learning example for other chains.

On BSC, they are taking a different approach—focusing more on standardization and official promotion. They accelerated infrastructure development in early 2026, launching protocols like ERC-8004 and BAP-578 to support low-cost, high-frequency activities. The ecosystem already includes 58 projects across 10 major categories, attracting over 200 developers. In early April, Four.Meme announced the launch of a new AI agent product called "Agentic Mode," aiming to explore native Meme forms of agents, which is quite an innovative idea.

To summarize each chain’s strategy—Solana emphasizes performance and transaction efficiency, Base chain focuses on community and economic integration, and BSC leans toward official promotion and standardization. AI agents have shifted from pure concept to real on-chain activity, with autonomous trading, inter-hiring, and payments actually happening. Given the current development pace, on-chain AI is likely to see a wave of explosion by 2026, making this track worth continuous attention.
