The Solana Foundation stated that it will position the Solana network as the core infrastructure of the emerging "agentic internet," a model in which economic activity is initiated and executed by AI systems rather than humans. Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer of the Solana Foundation, stated at the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York that AI is not a single vertical industry, but a platform revolution impacting various industries, including crypto. Solana's core strategy is payment infrastructure; the network has already processed approximately 15 million on-chain payments initiated by agents, primarily for machine-to-machine commercial transactions. The programmatic nature of crypto payments is key to attracting agents, and stablecoins will become the default method for paying for any computing resources. Vibhu Norby believes this will fundamentally reshape internet business models, enabling micropayments and pay-as-you-go transactions that traditional payment channels cannot support. The Solana Foundation emphasizes its high-performance design's advantage in this new paradigm: "Agents are calm, precise machines… If you ask agents how to make crypto payments, Solana is often the first choice." Furthermore, advancements in AI technology have lowered the development barrier, and Solana developers are directly building tools for the AI system, including machine-readable "skills" files and an AI-first development platform. Norby predicts that future user interactions with crypto will default to agents, with 95% to 99% of transactions initiated by Large Language Models (LLMs). (CoinDesk)
