At Artela, we started as a high-performance EVM blockchain with a clear mission: not only to make blockchain faster and cheaper but also to bring more utility and functionality on-chain. As we approach our mainnet launch, we’re excited to share a significant pivot that aligns with our core mission and technological strengths.
We believe we’ve found the perfect product-market fit: autonomous, fully on-chain AI agents. This is more than a direction—it’s the future we’re building toward. The emerging agentic economy excites us, and we can’t wait to embark on this journey together with our community.
Why AI Agents—and Why Now?
AI agents have become a buzzword, sparking enthusiasm across industries. But despite the excitement, the term “AI agent” often means different things to different people. So let’s define it clearly.
According to Wikipedia, an AI agent is:
“An agent that perceives its environment, takes actions autonomously in order to achieve goals, and may improve its performance with learning or acquiring knowledge.”
While this is a broad definition, industry leaders have added their own takes:
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, calls AI agents “digital workers.”
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, likens them to a “senior employee.”
At Artela, we focus on a specific type: crypto AI agents. These differ from productivity-focused AI agents (like those booking travel tickets or improving presentations) because they deal directly with on-chain data and assets. Tasks such as managing decentralized wallets, executing trades, or participating in governance demand a secure, decentralized foundation.
What Sets Artela Apart?
Artela’s unique technological stack makes it the ideal platform for autonomous AI agents operating fully on-chain. We’ve designed our blockchain from the ground up to support the computational demands, scalability, and security needs of these agents.
Our network is:
High-performance and low-cost, ensuring agents can operate efficiently.
Built for autonomy, empowering AI agents to execute complex actions without relying on centralized infrastructure.
Optimized for smart contracts and on-chain storage, enabling seamless interactions in decentralized environments.

The Future of the Agentic Economy
Imagine a world where autonomous agents:
Manage decentralized portfolios and execute trades without intermediaries.
Participate in DAO governance with greater precision and efficiency.
Build bridges between siloed ecosystems, unlocking new layers of interoperability.
This is the agentic economy we’re building toward—where intelligence and autonomy drive decentralized innovation.
At Artela, we believe that the future belongs to those who empower these agents to operate securely, scalably, and autonomously. By going all-in on AI agents, we’re positioning Artela to become the foundational infrastructure for this exciting future.
