The main characters in the future crypto world may no longer be human users, but AI.

Don't just think of AI as a simple chat tool anymore. According to a16z's forecast, by 2026, AI Agents will evolve into true on-chain participants—possessing their own digital wallets and assets. Imagine your AI assistant not only answering questions but also independently trading on the blockchain, participating in DeFi protocols, and managing smart contracts.

What does this mean? The traditional concept of "users" will be completely redefined. Future exchanges, DEXs, and lending platforms may be dominated by AI Agents—they will make autonomous decisions, execute trades independently, and manage asset portfolios on their own. Humans will become the programmers and overseers behind the scenes, rather than direct operators.

This is not science fiction; it is a trend that is already happening. With breakthroughs in AI technology and improvements in on-chain infrastructure, AI holding tokens, AI trading, and AI participation in governance have moved from theory to reality. The crypto ecosystem will thus undergo a profound transformation.

So, will we have to switch careers to become AI tutors then, haha?

Laughing to death, so humans have become the ones working for AI? This is really too surreal... We’ll have to see whose AI is smarter in the future. Exactly, will it really be like this in 2026? Feeling a bit anxious. Feels like we’re about to be left behind by the times. But on the other hand, who will write the code for these AIs? Actually, it’s been happening for a while, haven’t you noticed? With AI trading, that amount of computing power might not even beat seasoned investors. Damn, this is the real dimensionality reduction attack. Wait, is my wallet still safe... Whoa, this logical connection is pretty intense. Are the papers all this exaggerated?

Wait, doesn't that mean us newbies are going to be unemployed... AI is making money on its own.

The 2026 launch window has been locked in, and the fueling of the AI Agent is about to be completed. Are you all ready to迎接 this round of orbital breakthrough?
