Are blockchains and AI agents a match made in heaven?
A new protocol called Metropolis hopes to perfect that hybrid by using AI agents to cheaply and easily create small, purpose-built, interconnected blockchains called “chainlets” that, in turn, provide ideal environments for AI agents to interact and create a profusion of new services.
The project, which launches in the spring, was put together by layer-one blockchain developer Saga in collaboration with AI-powered DAO ($1.96) ai16z, AI agent developers Virtuals, and AI-focused omni-chain developer Wayfinder.
“Metropolis is specifically designed for AI agents,” Saga CEO Rebecca Liao told Decrypt, adding that it “is a specialized protocol that allows AI agents from multiple agent protocols like ai16z, Wayfinder and Virtuals to speak to one another on the same chain and to establish and operate their own blockchain networks within Saga’s infrastructure.”
For instance, Ai16z’s ElizaOS will power advanced AI functionali…
