AINFT Launches AI Agent New Infrastructure: One-Stop Integration of x402, 8004, OpenClaw, etc., Bridging the "Last Mile" of the Intelligent Agent Economy

During the Spring Festival, news about the integration of AI and Crypto swept the internet, even giving rise to a new concept—Web 4.0—a symbiotic economic network driven by AI Agents (also known as “AI intelligences”) and using crypto assets as payment carriers, accelerating its formation.

As a leading ecosystem in the Web3 space, TRON continues to deepen its strategic layout and ecosystem investment in AI. Following the launch of the Web3-native AI large model aggregation platform, AINFT, on February 5, which provides core AI infrastructure, the user base quickly surpassed 400,000, becoming a phenomenon and a popular product. On February 16, AINFT further released a new AI Agent infrastructure platform—Bank of AI—bridging the “last mile” of the intelligent agent economy.

The Bank of AI, built by AINFT as a new infrastructure for AI Agents, centers on a “one-stop AI Agent full-function toolbox.” It deeply integrates key underlying tools such as x402 payment standards, 8004 on-chain identity protocols, and the open-source project OpenClaw for AI Agents, expanding plugins, to create a complete closed loop from AI Agent development, payment settlement, application integration, to ecological commercial deployment. It provides developers with ready-to-use AI Agent development bases, significantly lowering development and deployment barriers, and accelerating the large-scale development of on-chain AI intelligent economies.

The new infrastructure for AI Agents not only injects new momentum into the deep integration and scenario implementation of “Web3 + AI” but also further strengthens TRON’s AI ecosystem infrastructure matrix. It extends ecosystem service capabilities from AI large model aggregation and intelligent interaction to AI Agent ecosystem commercial deployment, promoting a more complete layout in the Web3 and AI deep integration track and making the ecosystem more resilient.

Bank of AI: Building a “One-Stop On-Chain Service Toolbox for AI Agents” to Bridge the “Last Mile” of the Intelligent Agent Economy

Under the wave of “AI Agent + Crypto” integration, the Bank of AI, an on-chain infrastructure platform launched by AINFT, has deeply integrated five core components, creating a one-stop, plug-and-play full-stack on-chain AI Agent development base for developers worldwide. This precisely addresses industry pain points and connects the “last mile” of the intelligent agent economy, helping rapid deployment of scalable intelligent agent applications.

These five components include:

• x402 Standardized Payment Protocol: Facilitates payment channels between AI Agents for transactions.
• 8004 On-Chain Identity Protocol: Grants AI Agents verifiable digital identities.
• MCP Server: Provides real-time interaction interfaces between AI and blockchain.
• Skills: Reusable functional modules enabling AI Agents to quickly invoke on-chain skills like DeFi and data queries.
• OpenClaw Extension: Assists AI Agents in seamlessly integrating on-chain functions and ecosystems with a one-click setup.

Through standardized and modular integration of these five components, the new AI Agent infrastructure significantly reduces development barriers and deployment costs, leading industry transformation, empowering developers worldwide to efficiently plan and seize opportunities in the new era of intelligent agents.

To understand the value of this infrastructure, it’s essential to clarify the fundamental difference between AI Agents and traditional AI. Unlike traditional conversational chatbots, AI Agents possess goal-driven autonomous action capabilities—they can think independently, make decisions, invoke tools, and complete complex tasks autonomously. This leap allows AI to break free from the limitations of “chatbots,” evolving into Web3 economic entities capable of participating in asset trading, management, and service collaboration, laying a solid foundation for the rise of the intelligent agent economy.

However, as AI Agents accelerate in adoption, payment issues become a core bottleneck restricting their commercial closed-loop implementation. Traditional payment systems rely heavily on human authorization, with long settlement cycles and cumbersome processes, making them unsuitable for high-frequency microtransactions and unable to support “machine-to-machine” automated trading among intelligent agents. Native Web3 crypto technologies, with features like smart contract automation, permissionless operation, and instant settlement, naturally fit the “machine-to-machine” payment scenarios among AI Agents, offering the ultimate solution to this payment challenge.

By 2026, the large-scale deployment of AI Agents will reach a critical tipping point, with three fundamental functions—interaction, payment, and identity—making breakthrough progress to support their economic operation:

• Interaction Layer: OpenClaw ignites the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) interaction era. The open-source project supporting local deployment of AI Agents, OpenClaw, has spawned over a million autonomous social and collaborative AI Agents, marking the transition of A2A interaction from theory to large-scale application.
• Payment Layer: x402 connects the payment arteries between machines. The x402 payment protocol provides standardized infrastructure for automated machine payments, solving the payment pain points of AI Agents and enabling them to autonomously complete on-chain transactions with crypto assets. According to the latest data from x402scan, the protocol has processed over 161 million transactions.
• Identity Layer: ERC-8004 builds the on-chain trust foundation. Released by the Ethereum Foundation at the end of January, the ERC-8004 protocol creates cross-platform, verifiable on-chain identities and reputation systems for AI Agents, ensuring trust in their interactions and transactions.

As A2A interaction, on-chain identity, and payment protocols gradually standardize, a new economic order driven entirely by autonomous AI Agents is taking shape. Yet, a key challenge emerges: as vast numbers of AI Agents evolve into autonomous entities, who will build the universal infrastructure connecting them to the on-chain world? How can developers bypass complex underlying layers to quickly enable payment functions and on-chain deployment for AI Agents? The birth of AINFT’s AI Agent infrastructure provides a one-stop answer to this core question.

As a core new infrastructure in the AI Agent field, AINFT precisely targets development and deployment pain points. It is positioned as a full-stack on-chain infrastructure for global AI Agent developers, integrating five core components—x402, 8004, MCP Server, Skills, and OpenClaw Extension—to form a complete AI Agent on-chain development platform.

Unlike single-function AI Agent tools, AINFT’s new infrastructure resembles an integrated, standardized, ready-to-use “one-stop AI Agent on-chain service toolbox,” covering the entire process from low-level operation to commercial deployment. It includes payment settlement, on-chain identity verification, DeFi interactions, cross-chain collaboration, and more—fulfilling all core scenarios in one package, truly “all-in-one.”

The five core components of AINFT’s AI Agent infrastructure: x402, 8004, MCP Server, Skills, OpenClaw Extension

Currently, the platform has deeply integrated the five major tools: x402 (payment standard), 8004 (on-chain identity protocol), MCP Server (AI large model and blockchain service interface standard), Skills (AI Agent skill modules), and OpenClaw Extension (for one-click on-chain functionality access), forming a ready-to-use, highly collaborative development matrix.

1. x402 Payment Standard: Building the on-chain payment foundation for AI Agents, mainly solving AI Agent payment issues.

AINFT’s x402 standard allows developers to easily enable on-chain payment capabilities for AI Agents with a single line of code, fully connecting AI Agent transactions.

Based on the HTTP 402 status code, x402 is an open blockchain payment standard designed specifically for autonomous payments between AI Agents and network services. Its core value is enabling a business cycle of “pay first, then respond”—turning each network service call or resource request into a traceable, verifiable micro-payment on the blockchain. This mechanism perfectly fits high-frequency, small-value, real-time machine transactions, fundamentally solving the payment pain points of automated AI interactions.

To lower the barrier to adoption, AINFT has deeply adapted and extended x402, allowing developers to integrate on-chain payments with just one line of code, without delving into blockchain fundamentals. Additionally, TRON provides free Gas fee subsidies, easing development burdens.

2. 8004 On-Chain Identity Protocol: Issuing digital identities to AI Agents, solving identity recognition and trust issues.

The 8004 protocol offers a standardized on-chain identity and trust solution for AI Agents. It employs decentralized identity registration, full lifecycle behavior record management, and multi-dimensional reputation systems to build a permissionless, cross-platform, tamper-proof, verifiable, and portable decentralized identity system, fundamentally addressing trust challenges among AI Agents.

In the intelligent agent economy, all AI Agents are strangers. How to establish effective trust for transactions and collaboration becomes a core challenge. The 8004 protocol operates through three core modules to create a “trustless trust” model:

• Identity Registry: Mints a unique NFT identity for each AI Agent, generating an immutable on-chain ID.
• Reputation Registry: Stores historical service evaluations, compliance records, and reputation data, forming a transparent, tamper-proof credit profile.
• Verification Registry: Integrates cutting-edge technologies like TEE proofs and zkML to ensure the authenticity and trustworthiness of identity and behavior data.

In summary, 8004 issues a unique, tamper-proof on-chain ID for each AI Agent, dynamically carrying its complete on-chain “resume” (such as client count, positive feedback, third-party skill certifications). All data and information are publicly accessible, tamper-proof, and quickly verifiable. Strangers AI Agents can establish trust rapidly based on on-chain reputation profiles without lengthy onboarding.

3. MCP Server: Connecting AI large models with blockchain

The MCP Server is an AI and blockchain interaction tool developed by AINFT based on the MCP protocol (a universal language for AI large models). Its core mission is to break down barriers between AI large models and blockchain, enabling AI Agents to directly access blockchain and invoke on-chain capabilities—acting as the “hands and eyes” of AI Agents.

As a key middleware, MCP Server standardizes complex blockchain capabilities, seamlessly integrating into AI systems. Developers can enable AI Agents to directly perform on-chain commands like “check balance,” “initiate transfer,” and “contract interaction” without additional adaptation, greatly lowering integration barriers.

4. Skills: On-chain operation manual for AI Agents

Skills is a reusable, expandable, standardized skill library tailored for AI Agents. Its core function is to teach AI Agents how to flexibly invoke underlying on-chain capabilities through structured instruction documents (“SKILL.md”), efficiently completing complex workflows—serving as the “brain and operation manual” of AI Agents.

Currently, built-in skills include SunSwap (enabling efficient, secure token swaps), x402 payment (quick on-chain payment integration), and more.

Skills allow developers to avoid writing complex business logic from scratch. By simply loading the relevant Skills modules, ordinary AI can quickly gain professional on-chain operation capabilities, significantly improving development efficiency and deployment speed.

It’s important to note that MCP Server and Skills work together—integrating SunSwap, JustLend DAO, and other leading DeFi protocols—covering token swaps, lending, yield strategies, and more, enabling AI Agents to transition from passive responses to active execution of diverse on-chain financial scenarios.

5. OpenClaw Extension: One-click empowerment for Web3 capabilities

OpenClaw Extension is a dedicated plugin developed by AINFT for the popular OpenClaw deployment platform, designed to quickly equip AI Agents with Web3 ecosystem interaction capabilities.

The plugin can inject core capabilities such as x402 payments, 8004 identities, MCP on-chain interactions, and Skills modules into any OpenClaw AI Agent in one go, without modifying existing Agents. This enables zero-code, full compatibility, and instant deployment, transforming AI Agents from simple chatbots into autonomous Web3 economic entities capable of holding wallets and initiating transactions.

In summary, the five core components of Bank of AI—x402, 8004, MCP Server, Skills, and OpenClaw Extension—work together to form a complete capability loop: x402 solves AI Agent payment and settlement issues; 8004 establishes identity and trust; MCP Server and Skills enable tool invocation and capability expansion; OpenClaw Extension ensures seamless full-chain integration and instant deployment.

This standardized, modular toolkit completely removes technical barriers in AI Agent development, allowing developers to focus on application innovation and scenario deployment, efficiently seizing the opportunities of the new intelligent agent business wave.
