How Developers Are Solving AI’s Financial Limitations with Blockchain

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, its integration with blockchain technology and robotics could open new possibilities for automation and finance. One of the limitations of AI, and by extension robots, is their inability to manage transactions autonomously. To address this, developers are now integrating AI with blockchain infrastructure, allowing AI agents to transact securely, manage digital assets, and execute smart contracts. At ETH Denver 2025, Decrypt spoke with industry experts from the Coinbase Developer Platform, AI and robotics developers OpenMind and Robonomics to explore how AI-powered humanoid robots and other systems leverage blockchain to function as independent economic agents. “Out of the box, AI does not interact with the blockchain at all,” Lead Developer at Coinbase Developer Platform Nemil Dalal told Decrypt. “If you want it to have a wallet, send money, or transfer funds to different places, it can’t do that. It also can’t sign up for a bank account on its own. This is a major limitation because AI, in many cases, needs the ability to transact.” Recognizing this gap, the Coinbase Developer Platform developed a framework called Agent Kit, which the company launched in November, Dalal said. Agent Kit allows AI to be given a wallet, enabling it to perform any on-chain action that a human can. Calling it one of the earliest use cases for AI agents, Dalal noted the potential of AI to handle tasks such as monitoring the internet and conducting business on behalf of users. “So far, over 2,000 developers have built on top of Agent Kit, contributing to over $100 million in value,” he said. “One of the most popular use cases is tracking something on-chain and executing an action in response—essentially an ‘if this, then do that’ automation.” As AI’s influence grows across multiple industries, blockchain developers are increasingly exploring…
