Introducing Aventino, the Permissionless Payments Layer for Autonomous AI Agents

Singapore, Singapore, Chainwire

The Binance Labs-backed company is building Aventino, the permissionless payments layer for autonomous AI agents.

Following the success of its Binance Labs-incubated (now Yzi Labs), self-custodial crypto wallet with 3.5 million users, Grindery has turned its sights on building the permissionless payments layer for AI agents. The team behind the popular smart wallet is proud to reveal its latest product, Aventino, a developer-focused infrastructure layer that provides smart wallets for AI agents.

With Aventino, Grindery is bringing financial autonomy to AI agents. I.e., Aventino provides the tools to build an ecosystem where AI agents can operate independently — owning wallets, making payments, interacting with blockchain protocols, and establishing their own tokenized communities across platforms like Telegram, WhatsApp, XMT and the open web.

Aventino is a permissionless smart wallet infrastructure that uses Ethereum account abstraction protocol ERC4337. The platform lets developers:

* Build platform-agnostic agents that can seamlessly integrate with any blockchain.

* Easily deploy and manage any type of AI agent, including those specialized in DeFi, social media, gaming, and more.

* Facilitate inter-agent transactions with a universal gas token.

* Quickly and efficiently create new tokenized communities around specific agents and their use cases.

“We believe the future of AI requires financial autonomy — not just intelligence of agents.” said Tim Delhaes, CEO and co-founder of Grindery. “Aventino empowers developers to build platform-agnostic agents that can transact, govern, and evolve on their own. Just like mobile apps created a layer between users and the internet, agentic AI will create a new layer between users and the AI models that power their digital lives. And it will be powered by crypto.”

Backed by Binance Labs (now YZi Labs)

Grindery’s journey began in 2022 in Binance Labs’ incubation program, building what was once dubbed the “Zapier for Web3.” After 3.5 million users registered on its Telegram smart wallet, Grindery saw the opportunity to leverage the infrastructure it has built for its consumer application to expand into a much bigger market: empowering AI agents as autonomous economic actors.

Aventino’s core capabilities

With the launch of Aventino, developers will be able to build fully autonomous, highly customized AI agents that are interoperable, decentralized, and monetizable — without being locked into closed ecosystems. The platform’s core capabilities include:

* Interoperable smart wallets: Aventino's smart wallets are compatible with any blockchain or Web3 protocol, allowing for seamless interoperability between different types of AI agents.

* Decentralized governance: Each agent will have its own unique token and community, fostering a decentralized ecosystem where users have a voice in the development and direction of the agents they use.

* A vibrant ecosystem of third-party developers: Aventino is open-source and modular, enabling developers to easily build on top of the platform and contribute to the broader agentic AI ecosystem.

“AI agents should be free to evolve, interact, and earn,” added Delhaes. “With Aventino, we’re building the rails for that vision — and enabling a future where anyone can build AI agents with real-world utility and governance, powered by crypto.”

GX is the currency of AIV earlier this month, Grindery launched its universal gas token, GX, which is now trading on major CEXs Kucoin, MEXC, and Gate.io, as well as DEXs Uniswap and STON.fi, and DeFi aggregator LI.FI.

However, the launch of Aventino significantly expands the utility of the GX token. Beyond cross-chain gas payments, as well as governance, GX will be used for agent-to-agent transactions, facilitating seamless payments across platforms. GX will also be required for deploying new agents — and tokenizing them — via bonding curves, providing access and incubation mechanisms for the next generation of AI builders.

Partnership opportunities
