🤖 Base Launches Agent Economy Hub
🤖 Agents are taking over
Base has unveiled a new dedicated website showcasing how AI agents are transforming economic activity on the network. The platform highlights three key ecosystem projects:
- @bankrbot - enabling automated financial operations
- @virtuals_io - building AI agent infrastructure
- x402 - facilitating agent-to-agent payments
These projects demonstrate agents handling everything from micro-payments to complex coordination tasks in trading and payments. The launch follows Base's recent payments website debut, which emphasized the network's speed and low costs for global transactions.
The agent economy represents a shift toward autonomous economic activity, where AI systems can independently execute trades, process payments, and coordinate complex operations without human intervention. Base's infrastructure—fast, cheap, and global—provides the foundation for these new models.
Visit base.org/agents to explore how agents are building the future of onchain commerce.
From micro-payments to complex coordination; agents on Base are unlocking new economic models in trading, payments, and more. Our new site shows how ecosystem projects like @bankrbot, @virtuals_io, and x402 are building the future on Base. Check it out: base.org/agents

The timing suggests Printr is leveraging Base's enhanced decentralization infrastructure for its V2 release. The announcement provides limited technical details about what Proof of Belief entails or how it differs from Printr's previous version.
🎨 Artists Take Control: Training Their Own AI Models on Base
**TITLES is launching a creative studio on Base** that fundamentally changes how AI art models work. Instead of generic AI systems that homogenize creative output, TITLES enables: - **Artist ownership** - Creators train and control their own AI models - **Style preservation** - Each model maintains distinct artistic identity - **Direct compensation** - Artists get paid when their models are used This approach mirrors recent shifts in AI music, where generators moved to licensed models giving artists control over participation and payment. **The platform addresses a core problem**: current AI art tools train on artists' work without permission or payment, producing similar-looking outputs that dilute individual style. By building on Base, TITLES creates an onchain infrastructure where creative ownership and compensation are built into the system itself.
