For blockchain-powered agent infrastructure, VeChain's #TrustLayer tech stack makes it a powerhouse. Three primitives are critical for delivering scalable agentic Web3 workflows: Our MPP protocol let agents batch transactions atomically. Either everything executes, or nothing does, guaranteeing downstream data stay accurate, while offering scalable and efficient ways to hash data. Fee delegation, via VIP-191, decouples agents from gas fees. Smart contracts fuel execution, transaction cost models are transparent, $VTHO is abstracted for real world users, making adoption seamless. EVM parity and ported tools ensures the developer experience stays seamless. With JSON-RPC integration upcoming, agentic actors will be able to move onto, and off, the network with ease. Builders can bring their stacks with minimal modification. All these elements are key for delivering our main mandate: Trust. VeChain's proven expertise in enabling trust at scale in real world use cases makes it the ideal launchpad for embedding trust and transparency at the core of the agentic economy. We're looking forward to delivering our upcoming TRUST platform MVPs to market and supporting the growth the agentic revolution.

We are deploying purpose-built indexer infrastructure to support agents and dApps at scale. Our 2026 roadmap includes purpose-built indexer infrastructure, deployed to support hundreds of active dApps and thousands of autonomous agents operating simultaneously. This investment is consistent with our approach: build the underlying infrastructure first, then let applications build on top of it. The indexer is part of the same stack as MCP On-Chain, SDK v3, and the advanced explorer. Together, they form a developer infrastructure layer designed to handle the load of a fully operational agentic ecosystem.

We are rebuilding our blockchain explorer with a significantly expanded capability set. Integrated analytics, exchange data, DeFi TVL, staking TVL, VeBetter app-level activity. The data that matters, in 1 view. For investors, this provides the portfolio-level visibility they expect from a mature ecosystem. For researchers, it surfaces the on-chain data that supports rigorous analysis. For developers, it provides the debugging and monitoring capability that production applications require. Our ecosystem processes 1 million+ sustainability proofs per week, maintains 13 billion VET in staking, and supports 50+ applications. Making that data accessible and legible is as important as generating it. vechain:native

Most users of AI treat them like chatbots - but the real shift is happening one layer up. Skills are the quiet upgrade reshaping how you can work with AI day to day. The high level: A skill is a set of instructions an AI loads on demand, so it stops guessing and starts behaving like a teammate who already knows the playbook. Your playbook. AI brings the reasoning - it interprets, drafts, decides. Skills bring the instructions - they give the model context, guardrails, and a defined way to operate. Blockchain brings verifiable truth - they enable ownership, provenance, and a permanent record of what actually happened. Put the three together and you stop talking about chatbots or systems, and start talking about genuine intelligence, powered by agents that act with context, executing with precision, and settling truth on a layer you can trust. That is the shape of useful AI in a tokenized economy, and the foundation we are building toward at VeChain. #TrustLayer

Our SDK v3 ships with overhauled reliability, usability, and agent compatibility. Built for human developers and AI builders alike. For builders already familiar with our ecosystem, SDK v3 is a meaningful quality-of-life upgrade. For new developers entering through the EVM equivalence pathway, it is the starting point. vechain:native

Integrating the Model Context Protocol (MCP) into VeChainThor is significant. Why? AI agents use MCP as a universal communication tool across platforms and services. With VeChain's, they are able to read on-chain state, initiate transactions, and query smart contracts without human intermediaries. Agent operations can be configured here to run within permissioned frameworks: spending limits, action scopes, and approval thresholds - all configurable by the agent owner. Autonomy within a trusted, auditable framework. MCP On-Chain is the technical bridge that makes VeChainThor usable by the next generation of economic actors. It gives agents the ability to operate on our trust layer without requiring a human to mediate every interaction. MCP is already a standard for agent-to-system communication. We are integrating it at the protocol level, making VeChainThor natively compatible with global agent infrastructure being deployed.

GM, world! Did you know: Gartner forecasts that by 2028, approximately 15% of day-to-day business decisions will be made autonomously by AI agents. Meanwhile, Boston Consulting Group projects the real-world asset tokenization market will reach $16T trillion by 2030. These are just two technological curves intersecting with the need for trustless, immutable settlement layers where machines can transact, exchange, and tokenize without breaking under volume or fee volatility. AI agents of this world will only negotiate with proof, and verifiable truth. VeChain's #TrustLayer strategy is the kind of real-world utility blockchains were built to deliver, for enterprise, for individual, and for AI. vechain:native

Back in 2020, VeChain CTO, Antonio Senatore, foresaw the need for AI companies to leverage blockchain technology as a truth layer. With it, they can integrate immutable audit trails, ensuring complete oversight over AI. Fast forward to 2026, $VET is now building that layer.

@a16zcrypto Then bring a trillion agents onchain to hypercharge commerce and industry. Blockchain rails are the future of everything.

Notes from our Crypto Fund 5 conversation: 1. Successful founders in this next era will tend to be product-focused, go-to-market-focused, and pragmatic rather than ideological. 2. The goal: get a billion people onchain through stocks, bonds, stablecoins, and remittances. Once they're onboarded to the infrastructure, adjacent services can follow naturally. 3. We don't have a global financial network. We have a patchwork of small networks glued together by humans and legacy processes. Stablecoins are global from day one: the WhatsApp moment for money. 4. Stablecoins are leading crypto's mainstream traction. ~$300B issued, transaction volume approaching major payment network levels, and growth uncorrelated with trading. 5. The Genius Act gave stablecoins a regulatory framework, and unlocked builder energy overnight. The Clarity Act (or SEC/CFTC rulemaking) could do the same for the rest of crypto. 6. Crypto is winning the revolution, now it's time to govern. That means working with the system, not overthrowing it. 7, A growing share of transactions (potentially the majority) will be done by AI agents, not humans. If you tell one to save you money on your monthly spending, it will use whatever software does that, and it won't care what gets disintermediated. 8, You cannot vibe code USDC or Hyperliquid. Network-effects businesses are the one thing the model companies can't easily replicate. 9. Privacy may be the most durable moat in crypto. Once an application's state is encrypted, it can't be trivially forked to another chain. Switching costs return. 10. If every human on earth gains access to a dollar-denominated, stablecoin-powered account, that alone would be a generational upgrade to the global financial system.

Quadrillions, even. AI agents are an infinite pool of new users. But they will all need to be transparent and trustworthy in a true commercial environment. They will all need blockchains. $VET

@Cointelegraph Depends on who your user is. For AI agents: trust, transparency and compliance will be key for commercial adoption - something $VET specialises in. For humans, real world adoption & utility - apps that integrate with daily life, and abstract the crypto-ness away.

What narrative will bring billions of users onchain?

Innovate Miami 2026, hosted by @TheTieIO, raised a critical question: are tokens losing their structural advantage to equity markets? With crypto regulations fast-unfolding, tokens that exist only for trading may lose ground to equity markets backed by decades of established history and deep liquidity. VeChain's 2026 vision makes a confident bet. Crypto tokens already derive value from network usage and activity. Soon, that value extends to an essentially infinite new class of user: the AI agent. With our upcoming TRUST marketplace, hundreds of billions of micro-payments, operating 24/7, will settle on $VET, whether for agentic services, moving value across the world, or being staked to generate gas - $VTHO - that makes agentic operations near-free. Commercialised AI agents require a trust layer to operate, meaning a public blockchain. VeChain has spent a decade serving businesses, builders, and retail users. A track record of deploying scaled commercial apps, a strict focus on compliance, and proven economic impact positions VeChainThor as the logical base layer for this new paradigm. Johnny Garcia, VeChain's Head of Institutional Growth, made the case alongside Raptor Digital's Joseph Bruzzesi, Blockchange Ventures' Rob Schmults, Republic's James Newman, and Jean-Marie Mognetti of Coinshares. We believe the future economy runs on three levels: enterprise, individuals, and agents. All three operate on a single foundation: trust baked into every piece of data generated, every transaction completed, and every claim made. How do you see AI and the crypto sector merging?

The trust problem for AI agents has two key aspects: identity, and proof of activity. In a commercial environment, how can you be sure the hired agent is not a nefarious actor? How can one independently verify tasks they have performed? AI's 'black box' structure makes verification without blockchain challenging. Our upcoming TRUST marketplace solves for both. Agents interacting with VeChainThor will carry verifiable digital identities, anchored on-chain, and earn reputation through a credibility scoring system over time. Reliability brings peace of mind for commercial/business users, and introduces a way to verify an agent before introducing them into workflows. By unlocking trust, through blockchain, for agentic infrastructure, VeChain applies the same value logic it brought to enterprise cases - that transparency, efficiency and trust between actors is a valuable commodity, a new economic engine, and unlocks new scales of operation. Trust for AI agents will be VeChain's third adoption pillar; now serving enterprise, individual and agentic users. Stay tuned for the TRUST Marketplace MVP, coming soon. $VET
