TechFlow News — On November 11, according to CrowdFund Insider, stablecoin issuer Circle is exploring the integration of AI and blockchain technologies, with a focus on autonomous payments. Over recent weeks, Circle has minted over $2 billion in USDC and launched a conceptual system enabling AI agents to conduct independent transactions using digital dollars (USDC).
Built on the Circle Developer Platform and incorporating AutoGen’s AI framework, the system enables collaboration between AI agents and facilitates direct USDC payments. Circle stated that this proof-of-concept lays the groundwork for future applications such as autonomous AI services, AI-driven marketplaces, AI research fund allocation, and human-AI collaboration.
Circle has developed sample applications to demonstrate the autonomous system and is encouraging users to build projects based on its templates. The system uses Circle’s programmable wallets and USDC on testnets to securely showcase the potential of integrating AI with payments via blockchain technology. Notably, these AI agents can quantify their performance and contributions through the system, opening new paradigms for value creation and distribution in the digital age.
