Solana Foundation is preparing to provide the infrastructure for a new internet era in which artificial intelligence-based systems initiate and manage economic transactions independently of humans. The work carried out in line with this goal aims to position Solana at the center of technological transformation, rather than just a blockchain network.
A New Era at the Intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency
Vibhu Norby, who serves as head of product development at Solana Foundation, stated in his statements at the Digital Asset Summit event held in New York that artificial intelligence has caused radical changes in all sectors of economy and technology. Norby argued that artificial intelligence should not be seen as a vertical field, on the contrary, it creates a platform change that will bring a fundamental transformation in almost every sector.
While payment technologies are one of the main areas that Solana prioritizes, Norby announced that 15 million on-chain transactions were completed by automated systems on the network. Most of these payments are based on machine-to-machine trading. It is stated that programmable cryptocurrency payments have become the choice of such artificial intelligence agents.
Norby predicts that developments in this field will create a radical change in the internet’s monetization models. It is emphasized that the crypto-based, pay-per-use model enables micro-transactions that are not possible in traditional financial infrastructure.
Solana’s System Design and Developer Strategy
Vibhu Norby thinks that the Solana network provides an advantage in this emerging ecosystem with its technical structure focused on performance. Norby pointed out that the systems are neutral and analytical, with no specific blockchain preference; He stated that most of the automated systems that want to make payments via crypto choose Solana first.
It was also emphasized that the obstacles to developers are gradually decreasing. Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, both developers and machines can work more easily in blockchain ecosystems. That’s why the Solana team produces special solutions directly for artificial intelligence systems.
Norby added that they focused on tools such as APIs, comprehensive documentation and machine-readable files to be ready for this new era. These studies aim to provide great convenience to developers in the integration of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.
Sharing his expectations for the future, Norby claimed that users’ interaction with crypto will largely take place through automated systems. Norby predicts that almost all public transactions will be handled by AI-based models.
