Coinbase 表示已完成首笔“AI 到 AI”加密货币交易

“一个人工智能从另一个人工智能那里购买了什么？代币！不是加密代币，而是人工智能代币（基本上是从一个法学硕士到另一个法学硕士的词汇）。他们用代币购买代币，”

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

加密货币交易所 Coinbase 表示，它已经监督了两个人工智能 (AI) 代理之间的首次交易。

"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."

“一个人工智能从另一个人工智能那里购买了什么？代币！不是加密代币，而是人工智能代币（基本上是从一个法学硕士到另一个法学硕士的文字），”首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗（Brian Armstrong）在 X 星期五（8 月 30 日）的一篇帖子中说道。 “他们用代币购买代币。”

"Mind blown," Armstrong added with an emoji.

“令人震惊，”阿姆斯特朗用表情符号补充道。

"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."

“人工智能代理无法获得银行账户，但他们可以获得加密钱包。这些交易是即时的、全球性的、免费的。现在他们可以使用 Base 上的 USDC 与人类、商人或其他人工智能进行交易。”

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."

阿姆斯特朗表示，这标志着人工智能在执行有用工作方面迈出了“重要一步”，并指出目前人工智能代理“无法通过交易来获取他们所需的资源……他们没有支付方式来为你预订机票或为您即将到来的旅行准备的酒店。”

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.

这位首席执行官表示，致力于人工智能和大型语言模型（LLM）的公司可能会受益于拥有集成的加密钱包来进行支付，因此被邀请集成 Coinbase 的钱包。

"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?"

“如果您是一家销售服务的公司，请准备好让您的购物车启用人工智能结账，”阿姆斯特朗补充道。 “事实证明，每个人都可以从获得良好的金融服务（包括人工智能）中受益。几年后，人工智能对人工智能的经济规模会有多大？”

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.

在其他新闻中，PYMNTS 上周研究了加密货币作为支付方式的未来，指出尽管加密货币财富大幅增长，但在实用性和可扩展性方面仍然存在重大障碍。

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

这些数字资产的波动性可能会降低它们作为稳定交换媒介的吸引力。

"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."

该报告称：“监管的不确定性也继续给加密货币作为支付方式的采用蒙上阴影。” “世界各地的政府和金融监管机构仍在努力解决如何对加密货币进行分类和监管。这种不确定性使企业对接受加密支付犹豫不决，担心潜在的法律和合规风险。”

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.

报告补充说，另一个重大挑战来自可扩展性。尽管区块链技术提供了一种去中心化且安全的交易方式，但它仍然难以处理主流支付系统所需的交易量。

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

与此同时，加密货币也有其自身的优势，可以转化为更广泛的支付成功。

"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货币不仅仅是比特币、doge 和 NFT，”Solana 基金会支付主管 Sheraz Shere 在 5 月份告诉 PYMNTS。 “……区块链确实是支付和金融资产的替代轨道。”
