Imagine a maglev train designed to run at 300 km/h being forced onto a rugged gravel road. This is the current reality—those AI agents with millisecond decision-making capabilities are trapped in the inefficient framework of traditional blockchains.

Every transaction feels like torture. Waiting for human manual confirmation pop-ups, calculating high Gas costs for each transfer, repeatedly switching between fragmented liquidity pools to complete a single transaction. Essentially, it's like asking a superintelligent being capable of thousands of thoughts per second to operate an old dial-up modem from twenty years ago. Utterly stupid.

That's the current situation, but change is happening. Some are trying to build a brand-new underlying protocol, specifically designed for AI—these "digital natives." Their bold plan is to transform this gravel road into a vacuum pipeline, slashing the friction costs of transactions by 90%.

This isn't black magic; it's a fundamental shift in design—from "human-first" to "agent-native."

But before getting too excited, we need to see the reality clearly. Where exactly are AI agents stuck on the chain?

The first bottleneck is identity. AI lacks legitimate identity verification. They can only "borrow" the creator’s wallet and private keys to act, which leads to chaotic identity management issues. A single key leak could compromise everything. AI also can't establish credit history or be held accountable for their actions.

The second bottleneck is payments. AI needs…
