Bankless Nation, we are here with Austin Griffith and Davide Krapis.

These are two people working on building a bunch of AIs and getting them on chain.

Austin, Davide, welcome to Bankless.

Thank you for having us.

Thanks, David.

Thanks, Ryan.

Thank you.

So we're going to talk about AI on-chain in this episode.

And I kind of want to just ask you guys, how close do you think we are to AIs being the dominant transactor on blockchains?

Because blockchains have something like maybe in the aggregate, something like 50 million monthly active users across all blockchains across the whole world.

How long until that number flips to being AI agents?

I have no idea how to guess that.

As I understand it, there's a bit of an arms race going on with a few blockchain ecosystems to get AIs on-chain, to be the host of AI activity.

And I kind of think it's basically down to base Solana and the Ethereum Layer 1.

And you two, I think, are kind of like leading the charge of getting AI on-chain on the Ethereum Layer 1.

You guys are the Ethereum Layer 1 side, so Team L1.

Is there this sense of urgency that you guys have about AIs on-chain?

Does it feel like a race to you guys?
