That is a huge claim, but it is not coming out of nowhere. Norby says agentic payments are already moving in volume, and he pointed to a world where software pays for compute, data, and services one request at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The interesting part is not the headline number. It is the direction of travel. If AI systems start paying for APIs, storage, and execution directly, crypto stops being just a trading venue and becomes payment plumbing for machines.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Norby’s argument rests on two things: the rise of autonomous software and the fact that blockchains can settle value without human bank accounts in the middle. That is why he keeps coming back to a simple idea: the UI is fading into language, and language is becoming the interface for economic action.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Why Solana is betting on agent payments\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Norby said at the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fdigitalassetsummit.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Asset Summit\u003C\u002Fa> in New York that Solana is already seeing heavy agentic activity through \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fx.com\u002Fsearch?q=x402\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">x402\u003C\u002Fa>, a payment standard tied to instant stablecoin settlement. He claimed Solana now handles 65% of all agentic payments through x402, a figure that, if accurate, is a strong signal that the chain is becoming a preferred venue for machine-to-machine transactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cfigure class=\"my-6\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fxxdpdyhzhpamafnrdkyq.supabase.co\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Fcovers\u002Finline-1775131619108-14yb.png\" alt=\"Solana exec says AI agents may own onchain traffic\" class=\"rounded-xl w-full\" loading=\"lazy\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\u003Cp>What makes this more than a marketing line is the type of activity he described. These are small, pay-per-use transactions for digital services, not just speculative token trades. That matters because usage-based billing is a much better fit for agents than monthly subscriptions. A bot that needs 14 API calls does not want a $99 plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Solana has also been building around this thesis in public. In early February 2026, Norby assembled a new product group focused on AI-ready interfaces for both enterprises and consumers. That work produced the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fsolana.com\u002Fdeveloper-platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solana Developer Platform\u003C\u002Fa>, which includes APIs for payments, tokenized assets, and compliance tooling.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Norby’s forecast: 99.99% of onchain transactions in 2 years may come from agents, bots, and LLM wallets\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>He said Solana already captures 65% of agentic payments through x402\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The target audience for the new platform includes institutions such as \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mastercard.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mastercard\u003C\u002Fa> and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.westernunion.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Western Union\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The platform covers payments, tokenized assets, and compliance tooling\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Solana is trying to make wallets and onchain actions readable to machines, not just humans\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Ch2>The technical bet: machines need readable rails\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Norby highlighted a detail that sounds small but matters a lot: Solana became the first major blockchain to place a machine-readable skill file at the root of its website. The point is to let AI agents learn how to create wallets, send transactions, and interact with onchain programs without hand-holding from a user.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That is a practical move, not a flashy one. If an AI agent has to ask a human for every step, it is not really autonomous. If it can discover instructions, authenticate, and act on its own, then blockchain becomes part of the machine stack, not a side feature.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is also where Solana’s speed and low fees matter. Agentic workloads can produce a lot of tiny transactions, and expensive settlement kills that model fast. Solana’s pitch is that it can handle those flows cheaply enough to make per-resource billing realistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cblockquote>“Very soon there are going to be more AI agents than humans making transactions. They can’t open a bank account, but they can own a crypto wallet. Think about it.” — Brian Armstrong, CEO of \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.coinbase.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coinbase\u003C\u002Fa>, on X, March 9, 2026\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\u003Cp>That quote from Brian Armstrong matters because it shows this is no longer a Solana-only thesis. Coinbase has been building for the same direction with tools like \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.coinbase.com\u002Fdeveloper-platform\u002Fproducts\u002Fagentkit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AgentKit\u003C\u002Fa> for agent interaction and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.coinbase.com\u002Fdeveloper-platform\u002Fproducts\u002Fx402\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">x402\u003C\u002Fa> for instant stablecoin payments. Different company, same bet: wallets will become software-native.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Armstrong’s view lines up with what Norby is saying, even if their styles differ. One is talking about product strategy inside Solana, the other is describing a broader shift in how transactions will happen across crypto. Both are betting that AI agents will stop being helpers and start being economic actors.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>The numbers behind the agent boom\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The ecosystem data gives Norby’s forecast some context. Open-source agent frameworks are already pulling in serious developer attention, and the crypto-AI overlap is no longer niche. One of the most visible projects is \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FelizaOS\u002Feliza\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ElizaOS\u003C\u002Fa>, an open-source toolkit for building onchain AI agents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cfigure class=\"my-6\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fxxdpdyhzhpamafnrdkyq.supabase.co\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Fcovers\u002Finline-1775131615592-39pe.png\" alt=\"Solana exec says AI agents may own onchain traffic\" class=\"rounded-xl w-full\" loading=\"lazy\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\u003Cp>On GitHub, ElizaOS has more than 17,600 stars, which is a meaningful signal for a project in a fast-moving category. Meanwhile, the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.virtuals.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtuals Protocol\u003C\u002Fa> ecosystem reported 1.78 million jobs completed by autonomous agents as of February 2026. Those are not tiny hobby numbers anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Here is the comparison that matters: human users often transact in bursts, while agents can transact continuously. That changes what “activity” means on a blockchain. A chain that looks quiet to a retail trader can still be extremely busy if thousands of software agents are paying for microservices every minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FelizaOS\u002Feliza\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ElizaOS\u003C\u002Fa>: more than 17,600 GitHub stars\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.virtuals.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtuals Protocol\u003C\u002Fa>: 1.78 million agent jobs completed by February 2026\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.coinbase.com\u002Fdeveloper-platform\u002Fproducts\u002Fagentkit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coinbase AgentKit\u003C\u002Fa>: built for autonomous blockchain interaction\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.coinbase.com\u002Fdeveloper-platform\u002Fproducts\u002Fx402\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">x402\u003C\u002Fa>: instant stablecoin payments for software and agents\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fsolana.com\u002Fdeveloper-platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solana Developer Platform\u003C\u002Fa>: payments, tokenized assets, compliance APIs\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Ch2>What this means for developers and institutions\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>If Norby is even partly right, the winners will not be the loudest meme coins or the prettiest consumer apps. They will be the teams that make agent payments boring, cheap, and easy to audit. That includes wallet UX, identity checks, policy controls, and payment rails that can be understood by both code and compliance teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For developers, this creates a very specific opportunity. Build for machine users first, and human users second. That means APIs that can authenticate cleanly, invoices that can be paid per request, and transaction flows that do not assume a person is staring at a screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For institutions, the question is whether they want to be early or late. Mastercard and Western Union are already integrating with Solana’s new platform, which suggests the financial world is at least testing the idea that AI agents will be customers, counterparties, or both.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The bigger takeaway is simple: if transactions are shifting from humans to software, then blockchains need to behave less like speculative assets and more like machine payment rails. Solana is betting that this shift is already underway. My read is that the next 24 months will show whether that bet is correct by one metric that is hard to fake: how many transactions start with a prompt instead of a click.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If agent activity keeps rising at the pace Norby describes, the real question is not whether AI will use crypto. It is which chain becomes the default settlement layer for software buying from software.\u003C\u002Fp>","Solana’s Vibhu Norby says AI agents could drive 99.99% of onchain transactions within two
