AI Agents Struggle with Multi-Chain DeFi Due to Fragmented Blockchain Operations

AI agents face execution challenges when handling complex blockchain operations across multiple chains.​

A simple yield optimization request creates significant complexity:

  • 5+ separate transactions required
  • Multiple gas tokens needed
  • Partial execution risks emerge
  • Chain-specific error handling complications

Biconomy's Supertransaction API addresses these issues by bundling operations that AI agents shouldn't handle directly:

  • Gas management automation
  • Retry mechanisms
  • Failure handling
  • Settlement coordination

Key benefit: One signature executes complete multi-chain workflows.​ If any step fails, the entire transaction reverts cleanly.​

This solution transforms months of custom protocol integrations into a single API call, enabling developers to build functional AI agents in days rather than weeks.​

Building AI agents for DeFi used to require months of protocol integrations. The traditional development cycle: ▶ Week 1-4: Learn protocol-specific APIs ▶ Week 5-8: Build custom smart contracts ▶ Week 9-12: Audit and test integrations ▶ Week 13-16: Deploy and debug across

AI agents can handle simple DeFi tasks, but can they execute complex multi-protocol strategies? ❌ Before: Agent needs to "rebalance portfolio across chains" → developer codes complex integrations → agent breaks on execution complexity ✅ Now: Agent says "Rebalance to 60/40

AI agents fail at execution because blockchain operations are fragmented. A simple "optimize yield across chains" request becomes: 🔶 5+ separate transactions 🔶 Multiple gas token requirements 🔶 Partial execution risks 🔶 Chain-specific error handling Supertransaction API

🎯 Biconomy Nears 1M Active Smart Accounts

**Biconomy approaches milestone with 928,158 active smart accounts** The platform reports a **39.10% activity ratio** - meaning nearly 4 out of 10 deployed accounts show sustained usage rather than one-time deployments. **Key metrics:** - 928,158 accounts with ongoing activity - 1,034,846 dormant accounts (used once) - Focus on engagement over vanity deployment numbers This data suggests **lasting value delivery** in the smart account ecosystem, distinguishing between accounts that are merely deployed versus those actively used by developers and users. The milestone reflects growing adoption of account abstraction infrastructure in web3 applications.

OverHerd Pays 500K+ Users Across Multiple Chains Using Biconomy's Invisible Web3 Infrastructure

**OverHerd leverages Biconomy Nexus to create seamless Web2-like experience** while running on Web3 infrastructure, paying over 500,000 users for content creation. **Key features enabling mass adoption:** - Gasless transactions eliminate user friction - Multi-chain support across Sei, Base, and Worldcoin - Zero blockchain knowledge required from users - Infrastructure remains completely invisible to end users This case study demonstrates how **account abstraction can bridge the gap** between Web2 user experience and Web3 functionality, allowing platforms to reward users without exposing blockchain complexity. The implementation shows practical Web3 adoption where users earn rewards through familiar interfaces while benefiting from decentralized infrastructure behind the scenes.
