Coinbase developers predict AI agents will become the largest users of the Ethereum network, driving substantial growth and innovation. Kevin Leffew and Lincoln Murr of Coinbase, in an Ethereum Foundation contribution, unveiled a protocol enabling AI agents to autonomously transfer stablecoins. This innovative solution leverages the HTTP 402 code, typically indicating "Payment Required," in conjunction with the Ethereum Foundation's EIP-3009. This combination facilitates seamless, human-intervention-free transactions for AI agents operating on the Ethereum blockchain. Coinbase has already implemented the 'x402 payment protocol,' signifying its commitment to this emerging technology. This move positions Ethereum as the leading platform for the burgeoning AI economy, potentially revolutionizing various sectors through decentralized, automated transactions. The increased demand from AI agents could significantly impact Ethereum's transaction volume and overall network activity. ```
