Summary
Chainalysis data reveals that AI agents operating on the Base blockchain network now drive 95% of payments exceeding $1, marking a significant shift from micro-testing environments to real-world autonomous financial operations. Just one year ago, such transactions were virtually non-existent, with most activity limited to minimal-value micro-payment testing. This trend indicates that autonomous software systems are increasingly gaining access to and participating in real-world financial operations, signaling the emergence of a genuine autonomous economy.
