AINFT launches AI Agent new infrastructure: a one-stop integration of x402, 8004, OpenClaw, etc., bridging the "last mile" of the agent economy

During the Spring Festival, news of the integration of AI and Crypto swept across the internet, even giving rise to a brand new concept of Web 4.0— a symbiotic economic network driven by AI Agents (also known as "AI intelligent agents") and utilizing crypto assets as a payment medium is accelerating its formation.

As a leading ecosystem in the Web3 space, TRON continues to deepen its strategic layout and ecological investment in the AI field. Following the launch of the Web3 native AI large model aggregation platform AINFT on February 5, user numbers quickly surpassed 400,000, becoming a phenomenon and a hot product. On February 16, AINFT further released a new infrastructure platform for AI Agents—Bank of AI, which bridges the "last mile" of the agent economy.

The AI Agent new infrastructure Bank of AI created by AINFT centers around a "one-stop AI Agent full-function toolbox," deeply integrating key underlying tools such as the x402 payment standard, the 8004 on-chain identity protocol, and the extension plugins of the AI Agent star open-source project OpenClaw, constructing a complete closed loop from underlying development, payment settlement, application integration to ecological business landing for AI Agents. This provides developers with a ready-to-use AI Agent development base, significantly lowering the barriers to development and deployment, and accelerating the large-scale development of the on-chain AI agent economy.

The AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure not only injects new momentum into the deep integration and scene landing of "Web3+AI," but also further strengthens the infrastructure matrix of the TRON AI ecosystem, extending ecological service capabilities from AI large model aggregation and intelligent interaction to key links such as AI Agent ecological business landing, promoting a more complete layout in the deep integration track of Web3 and AI, making the ecosystem more resilient.

AINFT AI Agent New Infrastructure: Building a "One-Stop AI Agent On-Chain Service Toolbox" to Bridge the "Last Mile" of the Agent Economy

In the wave of "AI Agent + Crypto" integration, the AI Agent on-chain infrastructure platform Bank of AI launched by AINFT has completed the deep integration of five core components, building a one-stop, plug-and-play full-stack on-chain AI Agent development base for global developers, accurately addressing industry pain points and bridging the "last mile" of the agent economy, facilitating the rapid landing of large-scale applications in the agent economy.

These five components include:

• x402 standardized payment protocol, which opens up the payment channel for transactions between AI Agents;

• 8004 on-chain identity authentication, granting AI Agents verifiable digital identities;

• MCP Server providing standard interfaces for real-time interaction between AI and blockchain;

• Skills reusable functional module library, allowing AI Agents to quickly call pre-set on-chain skills such as DeFi and data queries;

• OpenClaw Extension assisting AI Agents in seamlessly accessing on-chain functions and ecosystems with one click.

Through the standardization and modular integration of these five components, the AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure significantly lowers the development threshold and deployment costs for AI Agents, leading the industrial transformation in the AI Agent field and empowering global developers to efficiently layout and seize the development opportunities in the new era of agent commerce.

To understand the value of this infrastructure, it is essential to clarify the fundamental difference between AI Agents and traditional AI. Unlike traditional conversational AI chatbots, AI Agents possess goal-driven autonomous action capabilities—they can think independently, make decisions, call tools, and complete complex tasks autonomously. This leap in capability allows AI to break through the limitations of "chatbots," evolving into Web3 economic entities that can independently participate in asset trading, asset management, and service collaboration, laying a solid foundation for the rise of the agent economy.

However, during the accelerated popularization of AI Agents, payment issues have become a core bottleneck restricting the realization of their commercial closed loop. Traditional payment systems heavily rely on human authorization, have long settlement cycles, and cumbersome processes, making it difficult to support high-frequency microtransactions, and fundamentally unable to meet the automated trading needs of "machine-to-machine" interactions between agents. The Web3 native cryptocurrency technology, with its characteristics of automatic execution through smart contracts, permissionless access, and instant settlement, naturally adapts to the "machine-to-machine" payment scenarios between AI Agents, becoming the ultimate solution to this payment dilemma.

Entering 2026, the large-scale landing of AI Agents is approaching a critical inflection point, with three foundational functions supporting their economic operation—interaction, payment, and identity—simultaneously making breakthrough progress, solidifying the foundation for the landing of agent commerce:

• Interaction Layer: OpenClaw ignites the A2A interaction era. The open-source project OpenClaw, which supports local deployment of AI Agents, has spawned over a million AI Agents achieving autonomous social interaction and collaboration, marking the transition of A2A interaction from theory to large-scale application.

• Payment Layer: x402 opens up the arteries of machine payments. The x402 payment protocol provides standardized infrastructure for automated payments between machines, solving the payment pain points of agent commerce, allowing AI Agents to autonomously complete on-chain transactions using crypto assets. According to the latest data from x402scan, the protocol has processed over 161 million transactions cumulatively.

• Identity Layer: ERC-8004 builds the cornerstone of on-chain trust. The ERC-8004 protocol released by the Ethereum Foundation at the end of January provides AI Agents with a cross-platform, verifiable on-chain identity and reputation system, ensuring trust for collaboration and transactions between agents.

As A2A interaction, on-chain identity, and payment protocols gradually standardize, a new economic order driven autonomously by AI Agents, requiring no human intervention throughout the process, is taking shape. However, at the same time, a key pain point has emerged: as a massive number of AI Agents accelerate their evolution into autonomous economic entities, who will build the universal infrastructure leading them to the on-chain world? How can developers bypass complex underlying structures to quickly enable payment functions and on-chain landing for AI Agents? The birth of the AINFT AI Agent infrastructure is a one-stop answer to this core question.

As a core new infrastructure in the AI Agent field, AINFT precisely targets the core pain points of development and landing, positioning itself as a full-stack on-chain infrastructure for global AI Agent developers, integrating five core components—x402, 8004, MCP Server, Skills, and OpenClaw Extension—into a complete AI Agent on-chain development base.

Unlike single-function AI Agent tools, the AINFT AI Agent new infrastructure resembles a comprehensive, standardized, plug-and-play "one-stop AI Agent on-chain service toolbox," covering the entire process needs of AI Agents from underlying operation to commercial landing, including payment settlement, on-chain identity authentication, decentralized finance (DeFi) interaction, and cross-chain collaboration, with all core scenarios fully addressed, truly achieving "one-stop completion."

AINFT AI Agent New Infrastructure's Five Core Components: x402 Payment, 8004, MCP Server, Skills, OpenClaw Extension

Currently, the AINFT AI Agent infrastructure platform has deeply integrated five core toolkits: x402 (payment standard), 8004 (on-chain identity protocol), MCP Server (AI large model and blockchain service interface standard), Skills (AI Agent skill module library), and OpenClaw Extension (for one-click access to on-chain functions for AI Agents), forming a ready-to-use, highly efficient collaborative development matrix.

1. x402 Payment Standard: Building the On-Chain Payment Foundation for AI Agents, Primarily Solving AI Agent Payments.

The x402 payment standard from AINFT allows developers to easily integrate on-chain payment capabilities for AI Agents with just one click, thoroughly bridging the payment interoperability for transactions between AI Agents.

x402 is a blockchain open payment standard developed based on the HTTP 402 status code, specifically designed for the autonomous payment scenarios of AI Agents and web services. Its core value lies in achieving a commercial closed loop of "pay first, respond later" for web service calls—transforming every network service invocation and resource acquisition request into a traceable, verifiable on-chain micropayment. This mechanism perfectly adapts to the high-frequency, low-value, instant settlement machine-level trading scenarios between AI Agents, fundamentally solving the payment pain points of automated interactions.

To lower the usage threshold, AINFT has deeply adapted and expanded x402, allowing developers to integrate on-chain payment functionality for AI Agents with just one line of code, without needing to delve into the underlying blockchain. Additionally, TRON officially provides free Gas fee integration subsidies, effectively reducing the development burden.

2. 8004 On-Chain Identity Protocol: Issuing On-Chain IDs for AI Agents, Solving Identity Recognition and Trust Issues for AI Agents

The 8004 protocol from AINFT provides AI Agents with a standardized on-chain identification and trust solution. It builds a decentralized identity system that is permissionless, cross-platform, immutable, verifiable, and transferable through decentralized identity registration, full lifecycle behavior record management, and a multi-dimensional reputation system, fundamentally addressing the trust issues in interactions between AI Agents.

In the agent economy, all AI Agents are unfamiliar with each other, and establishing effective trust for A2A transaction collaboration becomes a core challenge. The 8004 protocol operates through three core modules to construct a new form of "decentralized trust":

• Identity Registry: Minting a unique NFT identity for each AI Agent, generating an immutable on-chain ID;

• Reputation Registry: Storing historical service evaluations, performance records, and other reputation information of AI Agents, forming a publicly transparent and immutable credit profile;

• Verification Registry: Integrating cutting-edge technologies such as TEE proof and zkML to ensure the authenticity and reliability of identity and behavior data.

In summary, the 8004 protocol issues a unique and immutable on-chain ID for each AI Agent, dynamically carrying its complete on-chain "resume" (such as the number of clients served, user feedback, third-party skill certifications, and other key information). All data and information of each AI Agent are publicly accessible, immutable, and quickly verifiable. Unfamiliar AI Agents can quickly establish trust based on on-chain reputation profiles without a lengthy acclimatization process.

3. MCP Server: Bridging the Connection Between AI Large Models and Blockchain

MCP Server is an exclusive interaction tool developed by AINFT based on the MCP protocol (a universal language for AI large models), with the core mission of breaking down the barriers to communication between AI large models and blockchain, allowing AI Agents to directly access the blockchain and invoke on-chain capabilities, serving as the "hands and eyes" of AI Agents.

As a key middleware, MCP Server standardizes and encapsulates complex blockchain capabilities, seamlessly integrating them into the AI system, allowing developers to enable AI Agents to directly invoke on-chain commands such as "query balance, initiate transfer, contract interaction" without writing additional adaptation code, significantly lowering the integration threshold.

4. Skills: The On-Chain Operation Guide Skill Library for AI Agents

Skills is a reusable and expandable standardized skill set library tailored for AI Agents by AINFT. Its core function is to teach AI Agents how to flexibly invoke underlying on-chain capabilities and efficiently complete various complex business processes through structured instruction documents "SKILL.md," serving as the "brain and operation manual" for AI Agents.

Currently, Skills includes built-in skills such as the SunSwap skill, which enables AI Agents to perform efficient and secure automated token exchanges, and the x402 payment skill, which allows for quick integration of payment functionality for AI Agents.

Skills enable developers to avoid writing complex business logic code from scratch; they can simply load the corresponding Skills module based on their needs, allowing ordinary AI to quickly acquire professional on-chain operation capabilities, significantly improving development efficiency and landing speed.

It is worth noting that MCP Server and Skills do not operate independently; they need to work in coordination, allowing AI Agents to deeply integrate with leading DeFi protocols such as SunSwap and JustLend DAO, seamlessly covering diverse on-chain financial scenarios such as token exchange, lending and investment, and yield strategy execution, achieving a leap in capabilities from "passive response" to "active execution."

5. OpenClaw Extension: One-Click Empowerment of OpenClaw Ecosystem AI Agents with Complete Web3 Capabilities

OpenClaw Extension is a dedicated extension plugin developed by AINFT for the popular AI Agent deployment platform OpenClaw, aimed at helping AI Agents quickly acquire Web3 ecological interaction capabilities.

The OpenClaw plugin developed by AINFT can inject core capabilities such as x402 payment, 8004 identity, MCP on-chain interaction, and Skills skill library into any OpenClaw AI Agent in one go, without the need to modify existing Agents, truly achieving zero modification, full compatibility, and second-level deployment, helping AI Agents transition from "chatbots" to "Web3 economic entities" capable of autonomously holding wallets and initiating transactions.

In summary, the five core components integrated into Bank of AI work in concert, forming a complete capability closed loop: the x402 payment standard precisely addresses the payment and settlement challenges between AI Agents, the 8004 on-chain identity protocol solidifies the identity recognition and trust foundation for AI Agents, the MCP Server and Skills skill library collaboratively tackle the pain points of tool invocation and capability expansion, while the OpenClaw Extension achieves seamless integration and second-level deployment of AI Agents' full-link capabilities.

This standardized, modular tool matrix completely breaks down the technical barriers to underlying development for AI Agents, allowing developers to focus all their energy on application innovation and scene landing without the need to invest effort in rebuilding underlying infrastructure or "reinventing the wheel," efficiently seizing the development opportunities in the wave of agent commerce.
