Gate News reports that on March 24, TRON DAO announced an expansion of its Artificial Intelligence Fund from $100 million to $1 billion, focusing on building infrastructure for intelligent agents’ economy. The fund will concentrate on four main areas: intelligent agent identity systems, stablecoin-based payment networks, RWA (Real-World Asset) tokenization, and developer tools supporting autonomous financial systems.
This strategy continues TRON’s 2023 plan, which envisions stablecoins becoming the core medium of exchange among AI agents and promoting “machine-to-machine payments” as a new economic model. As AI agents gradually commercialize, blockchain is becoming a key underlying technology for settlement and value transfer.
Currently, multiple public blockchains are accelerating their entry into this space. Ecosystems like Solana and Base are actively developing, while the Ethereum camp is strengthening its role in intelligent agent coordination through the “dAI team.” In contrast, TRON emphasizes high-frequency payment capabilities, aiming to capture market share through speed and low costs.
TRON founder Justin Sun pointed out that AI agents often involve high-frequency, small-value transactions, which demand higher network performance. Data shows TRON’s average confirmation time is about 3 seconds, significantly faster than Ethereum’s approximately 12 seconds, giving it a competitive edge in machine payment scenarios. Currently, TRON has around 370 million accounts, a daily transaction volume exceeding $21 billion, and over $85 billion in USDT circulation.
Additionally, TRON recently launched the AINFT framework, providing developers with tools to build and deploy autonomous intelligent agents. As infrastructure improves, the integration of AI and blockchain is expected to accelerate, and the intelligent agent economy may become a key growth driver in the next phase.
