Injective and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) blockchain Sonic have announced the launch of Smart Agent Hub, a cross-chain platform designed to integrate AI agents into the Injective ecosystem. According to the official announcement, the move aims to advance artificial intelligence on the blockchain and create monetization opportunities through tokenization.
Opportunities
Smart Agent Hub will allow Solana developers to integrate AI agents into the decentralized Injective environment. Using the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, the platform will enable communication between the Solana and Injective blockchains, along with support for transferring SOL and native Injective tokens.
The first stage of platform testing is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025, with full integration happening gradually. Developers will be able to deploy applications using remote procedure calls (RPC), simplifying interaction with the platform.
The AI Market’s Potential
Injective previously introduced the SDK iAgent, which leverages OpenAI technology to create AI agents that analyze data, forecast trends, and execute trades. The company notes that the development of AI agents will unlock new opportunities for both developers and users.
The AI agents sector has already reached a market capitalization of $11.2 billion. By comparison, according to Cointelegraph, the DeFi and stablecoin markets stand at $145 billion and $208 billion, respectively.
Injective and Sonic are not the only ones seeing promise in this field. Near Protocol and Coinbase are also actively developing AI-agent technologies.
In early December, Frax Finance, a decentralized stablecoin protocol, announced AIVM, a technology aimed at creating fully autonomous AI agents free from centralized control.
Additionally, venture capital firm a16z (Andreessen Horowitz) named AI agents as one of the major cryptocurrency trends for 2025.
