As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, its integration with blockchain technology and robotics could open new possibilities for automation and finance. One of the limitations of AI, and by extension robots, is their inability to manage transactions autonomously. To address this, developers are now integrating AI with blockchain infrastructure, allowing AI agents to transact securely, manage digital assets, and execute smart contracts. At ETH Denver 2025, Decrypt spoke with industry experts from the Coinbase Developer Platform, AI and robotics developers OpenMind and Robonomics to explore how AI-powered humanoid robots and other systems leverage blockchain to function as independent economic agents. “Out of the box, AI does not interact with the blockchain at all,” Lead Developer at Coinbase Developer Platform Nemil Dalal told Decrypt. “If you want it to have a wallet, send money, or transfer funds to different places, it can’t do that. It also can’t sign up for a bank account on its own.
