Svmuu News The Solana Foundation stated it will position the Solana network as the core infrastructure for the emerging "agentic internet," a model where economic activities are initiated and executed by AI systems rather than humans. Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer of the Solana Foundation, said at the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York that AI is not a single vertical industry but a platform shift affecting various sectors, including crypto. The strategic core of Solana is its payment infrastructure, with the network having processed approximately 15 million on-chain payments initiated by agents, primarily for machine-to-machine commercial transactions. The programmability of crypto payments is a key attraction for agents, and stablecoins are set to become the default method for paying for any computational resource.
Vibhu Norby believes this will fundamentally reshape internet business models, enabling micropayments and pay-per-use, which traditional payment channels cannot support. The Solana Foundation emphasized that its high-performance design offers advantages in this new paradigm: "Agents are cool, precise machines... If you ask an agent how to pay with crypto, Solana is often the top choice." Furthermore, advancements in AI technology have lowered the development barrier, and Solana developers are building tools directly for AI systems, including machine-readable "skill" files and AI-first development platforms. Norby anticipates that in the future, user interaction with crypto will default to agents, with 95% to 99% of transactions being initiated by large language models (LLMs). (CoinDesk)
