BlockBeats news, March 3: Despite the crypto market being in a bear phase, with AI experiencing rapid growth, infrastructure for on-chain AI agents remains vibrant. BlockBeats summarizes the recent developments of Solana, BSC, and Base as follows:
Solana
Solana has become the preferred execution layer for AI agents due to sub-second confirmations, low fees, and high throughput, making it ideal for high-frequency microtransactions and autonomous operations. On March 3, Solana launched the AI Agent Registry trust layer on mainnet with native identity verification integration.
Additionally, over 9,000 Solana network agents have been deployed; the ecosystem emphasizes x402 payments, MCP servers (for autonomous agent token deployment), and the Claw series of tools. Top ecosystem projects include SendAI’s Solana Agent Kit (the most popular toolkit), ElizaOS, Rig, and other frameworks.
Base
Benefiting from the x402 protocol, the Base network is one of the most mature and active ecosystems for AI agents today. The x402 protocol, launched by Coinbase in May 2025, has become the core infrastructure for the agent economy on Base.
In addition, various applications derived from Openclaw—such as autonomous trading agents, DeFi management tools, social platforms (like Moltbook, a Reddit-style agent forum), and prediction markets—have already begun to take shape.
BSC
In early 2026, BSC accelerated infrastructure development for AI agents, becoming a popular chain for scalable agent identities and applications. Protocols such as ERC-8004 and BAP-578 on BSC are already live on mainnet and testnet, enabling low-cost, high-frequency agent activities. The AI agent ecosystem has expanded to 58 projects across 10 major categories, attracting over 200 developers to hackathons.
On March 1, Four.Meme announced the upcoming launch of its new product, "Agentic Mode," an AI agent designed to explore native agent-based meme formats. CZ, He Yi, and Nina Rong, Head of Growth for the BSC ecosystem, have frequently followed developments in the AI ecosystem and shared related tweets.
Overall, major crypto ecosystem builders are simultaneously advancing in the AI Agent space: Base focuses on “community/economicization,” Solana on “performance/transactionality,” and BSC on “standardization/official promotion.” Agents have moved from concept to real on-chain activity (such as autonomous trading, hiring, and payments), and on-chain AI is poised for a breakthrough by 2026.
