## Resource

What happens when AI agents start participating in the economy? In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, we sit down with David Minarsch , Co-founder at Valory , to explore the rise of agentic AI, autonomous on-chain agents, crypto wallets, decentralized AI, prediction markets, and the future of digital value creation. AI is no longer just a chatbot or a co-pilot. As David explains, the next phase is about AI agents that can observe an environment, reason, act, make decisions, execute tasks, and even interact with crypto rails. Valory has been building at the intersection of AI and crypto for years, contributing to the Olas ecosystem and products like Pearl, where autonomous agents are already being used in real-world applications such as prediction markets and agent-to-agent transactions. If AI agents can trade, pay, build, and make decisions, the real question becomes: Who controls the agents? This is a deep conversation on AI, crypto, automation, digital ownership, and the future of the internet economy.
