An agentic economy is a system in which autonomous software agents participate in economic activities such as trading, negotiating, and resource allocation. These agents, often powered by artificial intelligence, can act on behalf of individuals or organizations based on predefined goals and rules. They interact with digital platforms, including blockchain networks, to execute transactions and coordinate actions without constant human involvement. In crypto, an agentic economy enables automated market participation, decentralized coordination, and more efficient execution of complex strategies. It can support use cases such as decentralized finance, supply chain management, and digital marketplaces.
