Coinbase 表示已完成首筆「AI 到 AI」加密​​貨幣交易

「一個人工智慧從另一個人工智慧購買了什麼？代幣！不是加密代幣，而是人工智慧代幣（基本上是從一個法學碩士到另一個法學碩士的詞彙）。他們用代幣購買代幣，”

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase says it has overseen its first-ever transaction between two artificial intelligence (AI) agents.

加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 表示，它已經監督了兩個人工智慧 (AI) 代理之間的首次交易。

"What did one AI buy from another? Tokens! Not crypto tokens, but AI tokens (words basically from one LLM to another)," CEO Brian Armstrong said in a post on X Friday (Aug. 30). "They used tokens to buy tokens."

「一個人工智慧從另一個人工智慧購買了什麼？代幣！不是加密代幣，而是人工智慧代幣（基本上是從一個法學碩士到另一個法學碩士的文字），」執行長布萊恩·阿姆斯特朗（Brian Armstrong）在X 星期五（8 月30 日）的一篇帖子中說道。 “他們用代幣購買代幣。”

"Mind blown," Armstrong added with an emoji.

「令人震驚，」阿姆斯壯用表情符號補充道。

"AI agents can't get bank accounts, but they can get crypto wallets. Those transactions are instant, global, and free. Now they can use USDC on Base to transact with humans, merchants, or other AIs."

「人工智慧代理商無法獲得銀行帳戶，但他們可以獲得加密錢包。這些交易是即時的、全球性的、免費的。現在他們可以使用 Base 上的 USDC 與人類、商人或其他人工智慧進行交易。”

This marks an "important step" in AIs performing useful work, Armstrong said, noting that currently, AI agents "can’t transact to acquire the resources they need. … They don’t have a payment method to book you the plane ticket or hotel for your upcoming trip."

阿姆斯壯表示，這標誌著人工智慧在執行有用工作方面邁出了“重要一步”，並指出目前人工智慧代理“無法通過交易來獲取他們所需的資源……他們沒有支付方式來為你預訂機票或為您即將到來的旅行準備的酒店。

Companies working on AIs and large language models (LLMs) that might benefit from having an integrated crypto wallet to conduct payments are invited to integrate Coinbase’s wallet, the CEO said.

這位執行長表示，致力於人工智慧和大型語言模型（LLM）的公司可能會受益於整合加密錢包來進行支付，因此被邀請整合 Coinbase 的錢包。

"And if you are a company that sells a service — get ready for your shopping cart to be AI checkout enabled," Armstrong added. "It turns out everyone benefits from having access to good financial services, including AIs. How big will the AI to AI economy be a few years from now?"

「如果您是一家銷售服務的公司，請準備好讓您的購物車啟用人工智慧結帳，」阿姆斯壯補充道。 “事實證明，每個人都可以從獲得良好的金融服務（包括人工智慧）中受益。幾年後，人工智慧對人工智慧的經濟規模會有多大？”

In other news, PYMNTS examined the future of cryptocurrency as a payment method last week, noting that despite substantial growth in crypto wealth, there are still major hurdles surrounding utility and scalability.

在其他新聞中，PYMNTS 上週研究了加密貨幣作為支付方式的未來，指出儘管加密貨幣財富大幅增長，但在實用性和可擴展性方面仍然存在重大障礙。

The volatility of these digital assets can make them less appealing as a stable medium of exchange.

這些數位資產的波動性可能會降低它們作為穩定交換媒介的吸引力。

"Regulatory uncertainty also continues to cast a shadow over the adoption of crypto as a payment method," that report said. "Governments and financial regulators around the world are still grappling with how to classify and regulate cryptocurrencies. This uncertainty makes businesses hesitant to embrace crypto payments, fearing potential legal and compliance risks."

該報告稱：“監管的不確定性也繼續給加密貨幣作為支付方式的採用蒙上陰影。” 「世界各地的政府和金融監管機構仍在努力解決如何對加密貨幣進行分類和監管。這種不確定性使企業對接受加密支付猶豫不決，擔心潛在的法律和合規風險。”

Another big challenge comes from scalability, the report added. Although blockchain technology presents a decentralized and secure way for carrying out transactions, it still struggles to handle the volume of transactions needed for mainstream payment systems.

報告補充說，另一個重大挑戰來自可擴展性。儘管區塊鏈技術提供了一種去中心化且安全的交易方式，但它仍然難以處理主流支付系統所需的交易量。

At the same time, crypto has its own benefits that could translate into wider payments success.

同時，加密貨幣也有其自身的優勢，可以轉化為更廣泛的支付成功。

"It’s important to know that crypto is not just bitcoin and doge and NFTs," Solana Foundation Head of Payments Sheraz Shere told PYMNTS in May. "… Blockchains are really alternative rails for payments and financial assets."

「重要的是要知道加密貨幣不僅僅是比特幣、doge 和 NFT，」Solana 基金會支付主管 Sheraz Shere 在 5 月告訴 PYMNTS。 “……區塊鏈確實是支付和金融資產的替代軌道。”
