Inside the network

🔺What we’re watching: Delaunch deployed Agentic Browser, a feature for AI agents, on Avalanche to access real-time information for tasks.

🔺Why it matters: In general, AI agents have exploded in mindshare across the blockchain sector and Avalanche is seeing inflow for them as a result. Delaunch is a platform that looks to provide accessibility for technical and non-technical blockchain users to launch their own AI agents. 

AI agents can have a lot of uses inside and out the crypto ecosystem. They can play a progressive role by enhancing efficiency, decision-making and user experiences. Since AI agents can operate 24/7, they are able to keep up in constantly moving ecosystems like blockchains, which operate nonstop as well. 

Delaunch’s new feature is important because it means AI agents on Avalanche can access and analyze data in real time. This allows them to provide personalized recommendations and experiences for users based on the latest activity and information. Since AI agents are hot right now and thousands have been launched in recent weeks, it’s important to provide features that make them stand out. Agentic Browser’s goal is to enhance AI agents on Avalanche and make sure the network is able to capitalize on the overall innovative meta. 

🔺The bigger picture: AI agents are a growing phenomenon across the crypto sector - and the demand for them are signaling that they’re here to stay. According to CoinGecko, the AI agents category has a near $14 trillion market cap. The technology is showcasing they can be very essential for improving efficiency and pushing the boundaries of what is possible for blockchain applications.

With that said, it’s important for AI agents to provide quick responses and reliable information. If AI agents on Avalanche can become smarter and more efficient with the Agentic Browser, it can gain more traction and interest from users and developers alike.
