AI Agents Require Blockchain for Enhanced Functionality, Says YZi Labs

AI agents require more than just intelligence; they need the capability to execute, transact, own assets, and earn trust, according to Ella Zhang, Managing Partner and Head of YZi Labs. YZi Labs posted on X. Zhang spoke at a Binance online event, emphasizing that blockchain technology is essential for these capabilities. She explained that AI addresses blockchain's usability issues by transforming interactions into intent-based experiences. In turn, blockchain serves as an invisible layer that supports identity, incentives, coordination, and ownership. This integration is the future direction YZi Labs is working towards.
