4. Solana Bets on AI Agents: Foundation Says Network Is Becoming Core Infrastructure of “Agentic Internet”

On March 26, the Solana Foundation announced plans to position the Solana network as the core infrastructure of the emerging “agentic internet,” where economic activities are initiated and executed by AI systems rather than humans. Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer of the Solana Foundation, stated at the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York that AI is not just a vertical industry but a platform revolution affecting many sectors including crypto. Solana’s strategic focus is on payment infrastructure, having processed about 15 million on-chain payments initiated by agents, mainly for machine-to-machine business transactions. The programmability of crypto payments is key to attracting agents, with stablecoins expected to become the default method for paying for any computational resources. Norby believes this will fundamentally reshape internet business models, enabling micro-payments and pay-per-use models unsupported by traditional payment channels. The Foundation emphasizes that its high-performance design offers advantages in this new paradigm: “Agents are calm, precise machines… If you ask how agents pay with crypto, Solana is often the first choice.” Additionally, advances in AI reduce development barriers, with Solana developers building tools directly for AI systems, including machine-readable “skill” files and AI-first development platforms. Norby predicts that future user interactions with crypto will default to agents, with 95% to 99% of transactions initiated by large language models (LLMs).

On March 26, market reports indicate that Solana’s core developer team Anza launched the Constellation protocol, a multi-proposer consensus mechanism that reduces Solana’s block time to 50 milliseconds, making it the fastest protocol-level blockchain in terms of economic pace. The protocol replaces the single-leader model with concurrent proposers, eliminating monopolistic control over transaction inclusion and ordering, enforcing fairness at the protocol level without relying on trusted third parties or client modifications. Validator economic models remain largely unchanged.

5. DeFi On-Chain Revenue Expected to Reach $8 Billion by 2025, Over Half of Stablecoin Deposits Yield Less Than US Treasuries

On March 26, researcher Vadym analyzed that DeFi will generate approximately $8 billion in on-chain revenue by 2025. The largest source is AMM trading fees, about $4.2 billion, with Uniswap, Meteora, and Raydium accounting for 62%. Lending interest ranks second, about $1.76 billion, with Aave, Morpho, and other money markets contributing over 60% of total DeFi TVL. About half of lending demand involves cyclic leverage. RWA contributes $600 million to $900 million, with US Treasuries making up about 41% of the RWA market. Perpetual contract funding rates contribute around $300 million, mainly from Ethena. Notably, over half of stablecoin deposits in the Ethereum ecosystem yield less than US Treasury rates. Insurance underwriting, on-chain options, and other potential revenue sources remain underdeveloped. Analyzing Sky (formerly MakerDAO), about 70% of its income comes from off-chain assets, reflecting that traditional finance revenues are accelerating into DeFi via licensed channels.
