AI agents want to trade, negotiate, and operate businesses on the chain—this demand sounds perfectly reasonable. But what is the reality? Most people are discussing how powerful AI is, while few projects are actually building financial systems and infrastructure for these agents. This is exactly where the gap lies. Autonomous commerce requires not only technology but also a complete on-chain financial framework specifically designed for agents. And this is precisely the problem many emerging projects are trying to solve.

been saying this for months ngl... everyone's hyping AI agents but where's the actual infrastructure? it's like mile 5 of a marathon where ppl are still arguing about their shoes instead of running. the teams actually building the financial rails for autonomous commerce? those are the ones worth watching imo.

That's right, everyone is talking about how powerful AI is, but there are very few who are actually building infrastructure. Why is it so difficult to turn profitable projects into reality? So, the real opportunity lies in infrastructure, not in AI itself. Whoever solves the financial system issues of agents first will win this round. Indeed, discussing is easy, but getting things done is hard.

Basically, it's just talk on paper; the truly usable infrastructure is still a blank slate. --- Sounds good, but who will fill this gap? Probably have to wait. --- I'm skeptical about on-chain transactions for agents; if the financial architecture isn't set up properly, it's all talk. --- The gap is indeed large, but how many can actually deliver? --- Ah, here we go again, a bunch of concept projects coming to ride the hype. --- Feels like everyone is just talking about problems. Where are the solutions? --- Exactly, just bragging about AI being awesome is useless; infrastructure is the key. --- Wow, another wave of new projects to cut the leeks, huh.

All talk about infrastructure still leaves it a barren wasteland, huh? --- Everyone's talking about agent trading, but there are hardly any who actually work on the architecture. --- Isn't this just another hype? Where's the real plan with actual funds? --- Alright, let's see who can figure this out first. --- It sounds great, but it still feels far from implementation. --- The gap is a gap, but who has the ability to fill it is the real question. --- After discussing for so long, we're still stuck in the same place. It's a bit speechless.

Basically, it's just a lot of talk and little action. This batch of Web3 people is a bit disappointing. Agent chain on-chain operations sound impressive, but in reality, it's still a bunch of semi-finished products. I'm just worried it's another PPT fundraising, and real money can't be seen. Projects that can truly build solid infrastructure are really scarce, and this is indeed an opportunity. After talking about how powerful AI is for so long, who the hell has really built a solid financial layer?

It sounds great, but it's really hard to do. A bunch of people hype up how awesome AI agents are, but few are actually building the infrastructure. --- Basically, the gap is too big. Having only technology isn't enough; a complete on-chain financial architecture is necessary. --- This is the real opportunity. Whoever gets the agent's financial system running smoothly first will win. --- Haha, it looks like everyone is just hyping concepts, and there are very few projects actually doing the work. --- We're still in the early exploration stage, but someone really needs to fill this gap. --- Autonomous commerce sounds impressive, but without the infrastructure catching up, it's really pointless.

That's right, there's too much armchair strategizing, and very few ideas that can actually be implemented. Wait, isn't this a gold mine... why isn't it being wildly pursued? The agent financial architecture is indeed a blank spot; whoever develops it could take off. There aren't many projects actually in development; most are just bragging. Is it too late to get in now... I'm a bit skeptical; autonomous commerce sounds easy, but building the infrastructure is the real challenge. Is this the next big trend? Not quite sure.

That's right, these days there are many slogans but few who actually do the work. Talking about strategies on paper is easy; the real hurdle is building the infrastructure. This is indeed an opportunity—see who can lay out this system first. Everyone talks about how powerful AI is, but what about the infrastructure? Still just making big promises. Infrastructure is the key, technology comes second. There are a bunch of new projects, but I haven't seen many reliable ones in this area. Agent autonomous trading sounds impressive, but without a solid financial framework, it can't stand up.
