Geneva, Switzerland – July 8, 2026 – TRON DAO, the community-governed decentralized autonomous organization dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), has announced the launch of B.AI on the TRON network. B.AI is a financial infrastructure built for the age of artificial intelligence agents, designed to address core challenges agents face in accessing models, payments, settlements, identity, and coordination.
Core Technologies: Identity, Payment, and Settlement
B.AI integrates several innovative protocols. The Protocol 8004 is an on-chain identity framework that links blockchain addresses with verifiable credentials, assigning each AI agent a unique on-chain identity that records its activities, feedback, and reputation, allowing agents to verify and interact with each other. The x402 payment standard, based on the HTTP 402 protocol, enables trustless automatic value transfer between agents, supporting instant settlement and high-frequency transactions. This allows AI agents to autonomously access computational resources, pay for API calls, and execute on-chain transactions.
TRON Network as the Foundation
Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, commented: “AI agents will participate in the global economy in ways humans cannot, by continuously executing transactions at machine speed. Supporting that activity requires financial infrastructure that is fast, reliable, and globally accessible. TRON’s infrastructure and its stablecoin ecosystem already process massive real-world transaction volumes, providing a strong foundation for the next generation of AI-driven financial systems.”
Data shows that the TRON network processes over $22 billion in daily transaction volume, with on-chain USDT circulation exceeding $86 billion and annual transfer volume surpassing $7.9 trillion. As of April 2026, the TRON blockchain has registered over 375 million user accounts, more than 13 billion total transactions, and over $27 billion in total value locked (TVL). This level of real-world adoption establishes TRON as a key infrastructure for payments, remittances, and peer-to-peer transfers, providing a foundation for emerging machine-to-machine financial activity at scale.
AI Agents as Independent Economic Actors
B.AI is designed to support AI agents as independent economic participants, allowing them to manage assets, access services, and execute transactions autonomously. As AI systems move toward practical deployment, agents are beginning to autonomously execute payments, access services, and coordinate financial activity, driving growth in machine-originated transaction volumes. This shift will impose new demands on payment infrastructure to process continuous, everyday transfers at scale. TRON network’s high throughput, deep liquidity, and low transaction costs provide the necessary infrastructure for machine-to-machine financial interactions to achieve mainstream adoption.
TRON Joins the Agentic AI Foundation
Furthermore, TRON has become a Gold Member of the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), an open foundation under the Linux Foundation that drives the transparent and collaborative evolution of agentic AI. AAIF provides neutral stewardship over open, interoperable infrastructure as agentic AI systems move from experimentation to real-world production.
Through a unified API and settlement network, B.AI enables AI agents to connect more freely to leading global models and services while using agent wallets to autonomously pay, receive, and exchange value. Simultaneously, through on-chain accounts, B.AI builds foundational identity and verifiable credential components for agents, helping AI evolve from software tools into economic actors capable of transacting, collaborating, and operating continuously at scale. By reducing barriers to model access, enabling frictionless value transfer, and creating an economic framework for intelligent agents, B.AI aims to accelerate the maturation of the AI agent ecosystem, drive real AGI development, and make AI benefits more accessible to a broader range of users and developers.
