In particular, the combination of AI Agents and the Web3 ecosystem goes beyond simple functionality improvement and brings about autonomous, decentralized, and
This represents a major turning point in the realization of a digital ecosystem that is completely different from the past. AI agents can now go beyond simple question-answering chatbots and set goals like humans, act independently based on data, and communicate with each other.
They are evolving into active entities that can learn and make decisions. If they are combined with a blockchain network, they will be able to execute contracts according to consistent rules without human intervention in the digital world.
A completely new paradigm will be formed for making contracts, managing assets and making decisions. This is the AI-Native Autonomous Economy.
Web 3 will be the foundation of the Internet Economy.
The concept of “trust” is central to this structure.
It ensures the integrity of transactions and contracts without a central authority, and smart contracts are automatically executed according to predefined conditions. However, this system still has
AI agents fundamentally expand these limitations. They can analyze external data in real time and take various actions without human intervention.
They compare different options, make decisions, and then act on those decisions through blockchain-based smart contracts.
Agent is a DeFi (decentralized finance) protocol that analyzes real-time interest rates, automatically rebalances assets, and optimizes liquidity.
In this process, agents act as economic actors, not just automated tools.
Moreover, the NFT marketplace will allow users to create customized assets based on their preferences and spending history.
In a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) environment, users can be delegated voting authority and participate in policy decisions. This allows for rapid identification of relationships between data that humans tend to overlook.
The fusion of AI Agent and Web3 can be expected to have the following potential applications in various industries beyond the financial sector: •
DeFi: AI will compare and analyze the return rates, risks, transaction fees, etc. of various protocols to automate asset allocation and investment strategies, which is especially useful for individual investors to process complex financial information in real time.
• DAO operation optimization: Through quantitative analysis and streamlining of governance decision-making, it helps to reduce conflicts within the organization and increase participant satisfaction.
AI Agent can analyze the flow of opinions in a large community, summarize the discussion, and even provide alternatives.
Web3 Marketplace: User-customized NFT curation service, automatic digital asset recommendation and collection
AI Agent can perform higher-level functions such as trust score analysis based on transaction history. Education and Content Industry: AI
Agent designs personalized learning paths in a decentralized learning platform and improves learning success through NFTs
In addition, it is possible to create a structure that certifies and compensates for the results. In addition, a "trust-based automated agent economy" can be implemented in various fields such as supply chain management (SCM), medical information management, and real estate contracts.
For the fusion of AI Agent and Web3 to take root successfully, governance and ethical design are essential beyond technical implementation.
If agents make their own decisions and execute transactions on the blockchain, the following problems may arise: • Who is responsible for the agents' decisions?
• What risk response mechanisms should be in place if AI makes incorrect decisions based on incomplete or biased data? •
Who is legally responsible if an automated agent causes harm to a third party?
To solve these problems, we need an on-chain auditing system that monitors and records the activities of AI agents, and an explainable AI system that ensures transparency in the algorithm decision-making process.
We need new legal standards for the principles of autonomous AI and the distribution of power between humans and machines.
Agent may be sensitive to personal information processing, so it is combined with privacy-preserving DID technology, and
At the same time, the strengthening of user control must also be discussed. The fusion of AI and Web3 technologies is no longer a short-term technological trend, but has evolved into the axis of long-term social system innovation.
At this turning point, South Korea can secure strategic advantages in the following areas: Expanding technology-based infrastructure. South Korea already has 5G, cloud, semiconductors, digital ID, and other technologies.
The company has strengths in digital infrastructure, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), and is in an optimal position to utilize this to integrate high-performance AI agents and the Web3 platform.
It will be possible to promote institutional experiments such as a regulatory sandbox that can test the integration of Agent and Web3, public-private cooperation demonstration projects, and the establishment of blockchain-based AI governance standards.
It is unfortunate that the government's support for blockchain has decreased. For South Korea to be positioned as a global leader in technology convergence, it needs to develop a fusion-oriented workforce, cooperate with multiple ministries, and
At the same time, collaboration between the industrial ecosystem and academia is also necessary. In addition, public debate and citizen participation-based discussions on the social impact of the fusion of AI and blockchain must be strengthened.
Technology is just a tool. What matters is how we design, manage, and trust it. In this new era of AI and Web3, we are moving from technology-centric to trust-centric.
We are facing a golden opportunity to transform into a society of the heart. I hope that a network like the Korean PayPal Mafia will be established soon.
