AI is evolving from a tool into an independent entity with economic capabilities.

We are witnessing a profound transformation
from "a tool that is used"
to "an autonomous economic participant."
AI is no longer just executing commands,
but beginning to possess
decision-making abilities,
collaborative skills,
and most importantly — the ability to exchange value.
In this context,
the importance of infrastructure is being redefined,
as the foundational financial infrastructure
for the AI agent era
is being built at its core,
through the 8004 on-chain identity standard,
providing each agent with a verifiable identity and reputation system.
This allows AI to no longer be an anonymous executor,
but a recognizable, trusted digital economic individual.
At the same time,
with the help of the x402 payment protocol,
frictionless value settlement is achieved,
enabling agents to autonomously complete payments,
obtain resources,
and participate in real economic activities.
This is not just about technological integration,
but a reconstruction of capabilities,
from "calling models"
to "driving the economy."
The goal has been clear from the start:
not merely providing access to AI models,
but building an economic engine to support the AGI era,
making intelligence fluid,
capabilities valuable,
and agents truly integrated into the economic system.
When identity, payments, and collaboration are interconnected,
AI will no longer be limited to tool attributes,
but become a continuously operating economic unit.
This is the starting point of the agent economy,
and a crucial step for AGI to enter the real world.
Awaken the agent economy,
accelerate the arrival of the AGI era.
