The post Virtuals Protocol Integrates with Celo to Launch AI-Driven Agentic Commerce appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Virtuals Protocol officially launched on Celo, a carbon-neutral, mobile-first blockchain that’s designed for decentralization. Both AI and decentralized finance are starting a new phase of their journey. This strategic partnership is pioneering the new field of “Agentic Commerce” with both Artificial Intelligence and DeFi. Agentic Commerce is a complete reformation of what an AI agent can be as they become active economic participants instead of just passive assistants. As such, this represents a completely new way for AI agents to operate autonomously within the blockchain ecosystem. The Rise of Autonomous On-Chain Agents The partnership between Virtuals Protocol and Celo is centered on empowering AI agents to independently seek out services and hash out contract details. It allows them to complete transactions, enhancing their overall functionality as autonomous agents. The Celo Network’s fast, inexpensive infrastructure allows Virtuals Protocol to provide the support for operating an “agent” as an independent entity. These agents can manage assets and hold wallets, unlike the traditional AI that will require a human to clear the transaction. This makes it possible to create an economy in which an AI could negotiate contracts for data or purchase computer power without any human representatives needing to touch the keyboard. Unlocking Monetization for Celo Builders Developers who build on top of Celo have a new opportunity to create revenue through their work through this integration with the Virtuals Protocol. The Virtuals Protocol provides developers with a way to create and own what are called “utility agents,” which are designed for everyday functional use. These agents will be integrated into Celo’s real-world use cases, such as its existing decentralized social networks and mobile payments. Celo Platform creators officially announced that they plan to support the Celo builders in building agents who can earn income providing services for someone else. The emergence…
