LIVEArtificial Intelligence (AI) Agents Set to Rule the Blockchain: Nansen Reports
In the face of declining prices in the crypto market and rising global interest rates, investors turned their attention to artificial intelligence (AI) this year. Bitcoin will remain the primary focus in the future; experts also suggest that AI will take center stage.
According to Nansen’s latest projection, AI agents will dominate the blockchain in 2024, contributing to a more secure and streamlined ecosystem.

Nansen’s forecast for 2024 envisions a pivotal moment in technology where artificial intelligence takes center stage in shaping future possibilities. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the complete integration of AI and blockchain, the analytics platform said promising use cases are beginning to surface.
AI agents, with their capability to handle transactions, securely hold assets, and facilitate value exchange on behalf of users, are emerging as key elements. The foresight suggests a future where AI agents evolve into a primary category of users within the blockchain landscape.
The report also highlighted the importance of verification and risk management through cryptography in distinguishing between human and AI interactions within the blockchain. While AI facilitates specific applications in blockchain, cryptographic methods for identification verification play a vital role. Blockchains offer mechanisms to authenticate agents via various methods such as – cryptographic proof via digital signatures, IPFS & Merkle Trees, and zkML (zero-knowledge machine learning).
But certain limitations persist. As such, Nansen analyst stated,
“Some of these cryptographic models will be trained and optimized (off-chain) using AI. If AI cryptographic models become performant enough in the future, will AI be able to manipulate ZK or other proofs?”
