But as AI agents begin to act as economic participants, that human-centric design is starting to look less like a feature, and more like a bottleneck, said the co-founder of crypto firm Alchemy.“You can argue that crypto was built for AI agents, not humans,” said Alchemy CEO and co-founder Nikil Viswanathan.The mismatch is everywhere. Banks have operating hours because humans do. Payments are tied to countries because people live in them. Credit cards assume physical…

The Solana ecosystem has become the primary battleground for on-chain trading in 2026. With transaction speeds under 400 milliseconds and fees measured in fractions of a cent, Solana offers the infrastructure that high-frequency memecoin trading demands. But speed alone does not make a successful trader. The tools you use — specifically, the trading bot you choose — can be the difference between catching a 10x launch and watching it pump without you.
