- Hedera launched the Agent Kit SDK at Ethdenver 2025, offering a $25,000 bounty to the AI Agent Project.
- Olas has driven over 4 million agent transactions, launched Pearl and offered a $1 million reward program for developers.

The future of blockchain has been a little more sharp – and I dare say, touch more agent– Esten 2025.
Two heavyweights in the Web3 space, Hedera and Olas appeared at events in AI agent solutions, highlighting different approaches to how AI converts Web3.
Hedera: Create a blockchain as easily as GM's tweets
Jake Hall, the developer relations lead at Hedera, kicked things out by pointing out the obvious. The user experience for Web3 is still confusing.
“We're all here, probably passing our first wallet,” he said.
Using Hedera's Agent Kit SDK, Hall showed us how to whip tokens, drop airdrops like a pro, and check balance by typing simple and natural language prompts. There's no need to bend the robust chops or wrestling with gas prices.
“AI agents… they basically use a large language model with tools and actions. This is the deterministic code that AI agents understand,” he explained.
In other words, it's a blockchain for the rest of us.
Hedera encourages development with a prize of $25,000 for AI Agent Projects, with a top dog of $15,000.
Olas: Agents that hustle like defi degens
Minarsch's presentation at Olas took a different angle, focusing on multi-agent systems and economy.
“How has it been like that ever since? [2019] That means the agent can hold the wallet. And, in my opinion, two big unlocks we've had in recent years, along with the large language model,” he said.
Olas created what Minarsch calls “the biggest AI agent economy in Crypto.”
He said, “Olas now does more than 50% of secure transactions in the GNOSIS chain.
Minarsch distinguished between a “swarm” of professional cooperative agents and a broader agent economy with competitive elements.
“The AI agent economy really introduces a kind of transactional element of competition and competition between these entities. These seem to be independent economic actors who may oppose or align with their purpose. It's more focused on.
A story about real world atmosphere and technology
Both projects have already been published in Wild in real use cases, and Hedera introduces user interface improvements and forecast markets where specialized agents create markets, resolve outcomes, and create trading positions I'm doing it.
On the technology side, Minarsch kept it real about the Generative Ai hype:
“We are not yet in the stage where we have reliable agents that are fully based on generative model-based architectures. So if you want something that works reliably in production, then we need a set of rules.”
Translation: Don't monkey too hard. These agents need guardrails.
Olas is currently running an Accelerator program with over $1 million rewards for developers building valuable agent use cases, and no code for end users to run agents without technical expertise We have released the application Pearl.
