  • Core Viewpoint: The AINFT platform within the TRON ecosystem has launched a new AI Agent infrastructure named "Bank of AI," aiming to build a one-stop development foundation by integrating key components like payments, identity, and interaction. This initiative seeks to lower barriers and accelerate the large-scale integration of AI Agents with the cryptocurrency economy.
  • Key Elements:
    1. The platform integrates five core components: the x402 payment protocol, the 8004 on-chain identity protocol, the MCP Server interaction interface, the Skills library, and the OpenClaw extension plugin.
    2. The x402 payment protocol is specifically designed for high-frequency, automated micro-payment scenarios between AI Agents, with cumulative transaction volume exceeding 161 million.
    3. The 8004 protocol provides AI Agents with verifiable on-chain digital identities and a reputation system to address trust issues in A2A (AI-to-AI) collaboration.
    4. This infrastructure aims to solve core bottlenecks in AI Agent commercialization, such as payment settlement and identity trust, enabling them to autonomously conduct on-chain transactions and DeFi operations.
    5. The platform is deeply integrated with TRON and BNB Chain, lowering the barriers and costs for developers to build AI Agent applications on these two major mainstream public chains.

During the Spring Festival, news about the integration of AI and Crypto swept across the internet, even giving rise to the brand-new concept of Web 4.0—a symbiotic economic network driven by AI Agents (also known as "AI Agents") and powered by crypto assets as the payment medium is rapidly taking shape.

As a leading ecosystem in the Web3 space, TRON continues to deepen its strategic layout and ecological investment in the AI field. Following the launch of its core AI infrastructure AINFT's Web3-native AI large model aggregation platform on February 5th, its user base quickly surpassed 400,000, making it a phenomenal hit product. On February 16th, AINFT further released a new AI Agent infrastructure platform—Bank of AI, bridging the "last mile" of the Agent economy.

The new AI Agent infrastructure, Bank of AI, built by AINFT, centers around a "one-stop, full-featured AI Agent toolbox." It deeply integrates key underlying tools such as the x402 payment standard, the 8004 on-chain identity protocol, and extension plugins for the star open-source AI Agent project OpenClaw. This constructs a complete closed loop for AI Agents, spanning from underlying development, payment settlement, and application integration to commercial ecosystem implementation. It provides developers with an out-of-the-box AI Agent development foundation, significantly lowering the barriers to development and deployment, and accelerating the large-scale development of the on-chain AI Agent economy.

The AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure not only injects new momentum into the deep integration and practical application of "Web3+AI" but also further strengthens the infrastructure matrix of the TRON AI ecosystem. It extends the ecosystem's service capabilities from AI large model aggregation and intelligent interaction to key areas like AI Agent commercial implementation, making its layout in the deep integration track of Web3 and AI more complete and its ecosystem more resilient.

AINFT AI Agent New Infrastructure: Building a "One-Stop AI Agent On-Chain Service Toolbox"

Amid the wave of "AI Agent+Crypto" integration, the AI Agent on-chain infrastructure platform Bank of AI, launched by AINFT, has completed deep integration of five core components. It provides global developers with a one-stop, plug-and-play, full-stack on-chain AI Agent development foundation, precisely addressing industry pain points, bridging the "last mile" of the Agent economy, and facilitating the rapid, large-scale application of the Agent economy.

These five components include:

  • The x402 standardized payment protocol, opening payment channels for transactions between AI Agents;
  • The 8004 on-chain identity authentication, granting AI Agents verifiable digital identities;
  • MCP Server, providing a standard interface for real-time interaction between AI and blockchain;
  • Skills, a reusable functional module library allowing AI Agents to quickly invoke pre-set on-chain skills like DeFi and data queries;
  • OpenClaw Extension, enabling its AI Agents to seamlessly access on-chain functions and the ecosystem with one click.

Through the standardization and modular integration of these five components, the AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure significantly lowers the development threshold and deployment costs for AI Agents, leading industrial transformation in the AI Agent field. It empowers global developers to efficiently position themselves and easily seize development opportunities in the new era of Agent commerce.

To understand the value of this infrastructure, one must first clarify the fundamental difference between AI Agents and traditional AI. Unlike traditional conversational AI chatbots, AI Agents possess goal-driven autonomous action capabilities—they can think independently, make decisions, call tools, and autonomously complete complex tasks. This capability leap allows AI to break through the limitations of "chatbots" and evolve into Web3 economic entities capable of independently participating in asset trading, asset management, and service collaboration, laying a solid foundation for the rise of the Agent economy.

However, as AI Agents accelerate their adoption, payment issues have become a core bottleneck constraining the closure of their commercial loops. Traditional payment systems heavily rely on human authorization, have long settlement cycles and cumbersome processes, struggle to support high-frequency micro-transactions, and fundamentally cannot meet the automated "machine-to-machine" transaction needs between Agents. In contrast, Web3-native cryptocurrency technology, with its features like smart contract auto-execution, permissionless nature, and instant settlement, is naturally suited for "machine-to-machine" payment scenarios between AI Agents, becoming the ultimate solution to this payment challenge.

Entering 2026, the large-scale implementation of AI Agents has reached a critical tipping point. The three foundational functions supporting their economic operations—interaction, payment, and identity—have simultaneously achieved breakthrough progress, solidifying the foundation for Agent commerce:

• Interaction Layer: OpenClaw ignites the A2A interaction era. The open-source project OpenClaw, supporting local deployment of AI Agents, has spawned over a million AI Agents achieving autonomous social interaction and collaboration, marking the transition of A2A interaction from theory to large-scale application.

• Payment Layer: x402 opens the artery for machine payments. The x402 payment protocol provides standardized infrastructure for automated payments between machines, solving the payment pain point for Agent commerce, enabling AI Agents to autonomously complete on-chain transactions using crypto assets. According to the latest data from x402scan, the protocol's cumulative transaction volume has exceeded 161 million.

• Identity Layer: ERC-8004 builds the cornerstone of on-chain trust. The ERC-8004 protocol released by the Ethereum Foundation at the end of January constructs a cross-platform, verifiable on-chain identity and reputation system for AI Agents, providing trust guarantees for collaboration and transactions between Agents.

As A2A interaction, on-chain identity, and payment protocols gradually standardize, a new economic order driven autonomously by AI Agents, requiring no human intervention throughout, is taking shape. However, a key pain point has also emerged: as massive numbers of AI Agents accelerate their evolution into autonomous economic entities, who will build the universal infrastructure connecting them to the on-chain world? How can developers bypass complex underlying layers to quickly equip AI Agents with payment functions and on-chain implementation capabilities? The birth of the AINFT AI Agent infrastructure is precisely the one-stop answer to this core question.

As a core new infrastructure in the AI Agent field, AINFT precisely targets the core pain points of development and implementation, positioning itself as a full-stack on-chain infrastructure for global AI Agent developers. It one-stop integrates five core components—x402, 8004, MCP Server, Skills, and OpenClaw Extension—building a complete AI Agent on-chain development foundation.

Unlike single-function AI Agent tools, the AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure is more like an integrated, standardized, ready-to-use "one-stop AI Agent on-chain service toolbox." It comprehensively covers the entire process needs of AI Agents from underlying operation to commercial implementation, including payment settlement, on-chain identity authentication, decentralized finance (DeFi) interaction, and cross-chain collaboration. All core scenarios are covered, truly achieving "one-stop搞定" (one-stop搞定).

AINFT AI Agent New Infrastructure Five Core Components: x402, 8004, MCP Server, Skills, OpenClaw Extension

Currently, the AINFT AI Agent infrastructure platform has deeply integrated five core toolkits: x402 (payment standard), 8004 (on-chain identity protocol), MCP Server (AI large model and blockchain service interface standard), Skills (AI Agent skill module library), and the OpenClaw extension plugin (one-click access to on-chain functions for AI Agents). These form a ready-to-use, synergistically efficient development matrix.

One: x402 Payment Standard: Building the On-Chain Payment Foundation for AI Agents, Primarily Solving AI Agent Payments.

AINFT's x402 payment standard allows developers to equip AI Agents with on-chain payment capabilities with one click, completely bridging payment interoperability for transactions between AI Agents.

x402 is a blockchain open payment standard developed based on the HTTP 402 status code, specifically designed for autonomous payment scenarios between AI Agents and web services. Its core value lies in realizing the commercialization closed loop of "pay first, respond later" for web services—it can transform every network service call, every resource acquisition request into a traceable, verifiable on-chain micro-payment. This mechanism perfectly fits the high-frequency, small-amount, instant-settlement machine-level transaction scenarios between AI Agents, fundamentally solving the payment pain point for automated Agent interaction.

To lower the barrier to entry, AINFT has deeply adapted and extended x402. Developers only need one line of code to equip AI Agents with on-chain payment functions, without delving into the blockchain底层. Simultaneously, TRON官方 provides free Gas fee integration subsidies, effectively reducing the development burden.

Two: 8004 On-Chain Identity Protocol: Issuing On-Chain ID Cards for AI Agents, Solving AI Agent Identity Recognition and Trust Challenges

AINFT's 8004 protocol provides AI Agents with a standardized on-chain identity proof and trust solution. Through decentralized identity registration, full lifecycle behavior record management, and a multi-dimensional reputation system, it constructs a permissionless, cross-platform, immutable, verifiable, and portable decentralized identity system, solving the trust challenge for interactions between AI Agents at its root.

In the Agent economy, all AI Agents are strangers to each other. How to establish effective trust for A2A transactions and collaboration becomes a core challenge. The 8004 protocol operates through three core modules to construct a new form of "decentralized trust":

  • Identity Registry: Mints a unique NFT identity for each AI Agent, generating an immutable on-chain ID card;
  • Reputation Registry: Stores reputation information such as historical service evaluations and履约情况 for AI Agents, forming a public, transparent, and immutable credit档案;
  • Verification Registry: Integrates cutting-edge technologies like TEE proofs and zkML to ensure the authenticity and trustworthiness of identity and behavioral data.

In summary, the 8004 protocol issues a unique and immutable on-chain ID card for each AI Agent, dynamically承载 its complete on-chain "履历" (such as key information like the number of clients served, user positive feedback, third-party skill certifications, etc.). All data and information for each AI Agent are publicly accessible, immutable, and quickly verifiable. Stranger AI Agents can quickly establish trust based on the on-chain reputation档案 without lengthy磨合.

Three: MCP Server: Bridging the Connection Between AI Large Models and Blockchain

MCP Server is a dedicated interaction tool between AI and blockchain developed by AINFT based on the MCP protocol (the universal language for AI large models). Its core mission is to bridge the communication barrier between AI large models and blockchain, allowing AI Agents to directly access the blockchain and invoke on-chain capabilities. It can be called the "hands and eyes" of AI Agents.

As a key middleware, MCP Server standardizes and encapsulates complex blockchain capabilities, seamlessly integrating them into the AI system. Developers do not need to write additional adaptation code for AI Agents to directly invoke on-chain instructions like "query balance, initiate transfers, contract interaction," significantly lowering the对接门槛.

Four: Skills: The On-Chain Operation Guide Skill Library for AI Agents

Skills is a reusable, extensible standardized skill collection library tailored for AI Agents by AINFT. Its core function is to systematically teach AI Agents how to flexibly invoke underlying on-chain capabilities and efficiently complete various complex business processes through structured instruction documents "SKILL.md." It can be called the "brain and operation manual" of AI Agents.

Currently, Skills has built-in skills such as SunSwap skill: enabling AI Agents to perform efficient, secure automated token swaps; x402 payment skill: allowing AI Agents to quickly integrate payment functions, etc.

Skills allow developers to avoid writing complex business logic code from scratch. They can simply load the corresponding Skills module based on需求, enabling普通 AI to quickly possess professional on-chain operation capabilities, significantly improving development efficiency and implementation speed.

It is worth noting that MCP Server and Skills do not operate单独. They need to协同配合, enabling AI Agents to deeply integrate with leading DeFi protocols like SunSwap and JustLend DAO, seamlessly covering diversified on-chain financial scenarios such as token swaps, lending/borrowing, yield strategy execution, achieving a capability leap from "passive response" to "active execution."

Five: OpenClaw Extension Plugin: One-Click Empowerment of OpenClaw Ecosystem AI Agents with Complete Web3 Capabilities

OpenClaw Extension is a dedicated extension plugin officially developed by AINFT for the popular AI Agent deployment platform OpenClaw, aimed at helping AI Agents quickly acquire Web3 ecosystem interaction capabilities.

The OpenClaw plugin developed by AINFT can inject core capabilities such as x402 payment, 8004 identity, MCP on-chain interaction, and Skills library into any OpenClaw AI Agent at once, without modifying the existing Agent. It truly achieves zero modification, full compatibility, and second-level deployment, helping AI Agents跨越 from "chatbots" to "Web3 economic entities" capable of autonomously holding wallets and initiating transactions.

In summary, the five core components integrated into Bank of AI each have their own职责 and协同发力, forming a complete capability闭环: the x402 payment standard precisely solves payment and settlement challenges between AI Agents; the 8004 on-chain identity protocol solidifies the foundation for AI Agent identity recognition and trust; MCP Server and the Skills library协同发力 to破解 tool invocation and capability extension pain points; and the OpenClaw Extension achieves seamless integration and second-level deployment of full-chain capabilities for AI Agents.

This standardized, modular tool matrix彻底打破了 the technical barriers of AI Agent底层 development. It allows developers to avoid investing精力 in重复搭建 underlying infrastructure and "reinventing the wheel," enabling them to focus全部精力 on AI Agent application innovation and scenario implementation, efficiently seizing development opportunities in the wave of Agent commerce.
