Why It Matters
- 01The combination of AI decision-making and onchain execution creates a new primitive: agents that hold assets, pay fees, and transact independently.
- 02Base's low fees and Coinbase's distribution make it the natural proving ground for agent primitives before they migrate to other chains.
- 03Developer tooling for agent frameworks is maturing rapidly, compressing the time from concept to deployed agent.
- 04Institutional and retail demand for automated onchain operations is growing faster than tooling supply — a meaningful signal gap.
