The real unlock for the AI marketplace is agent-to-agent | Opinion - Crypto News

David Minarsch, founder of Olas, argues that the future of AI lies in agent-to-agent marketplaces rather than human-browsing platforms.

While Big Tech companies focus on building AI agent marketplaces resembling app stores for human users, the real transformation will occur when autonomous agents directly interact, negotiate, and transact with each other. This shift promises to move beyond "one-click" convenience to a "no-click" economy where AI agents handle economic tasks like capital reallocation, service negotiations, and payments without human intervention, operating continuously to optimize outcomes.

• Agents will manage tedious economic tasks autonomously, from scanning markets to negotiating terms with other agents
• Early infrastructure developments include Google's A2A protocol, Anthropic's MCP, and x402 micropayments using blockchain technology
• The choice between open, decentralized protocols versus Big Tech-controlled walled gardens will determine whether innovation flourishes or gets stifled
• This agent-to-agent economy could redefine internet infrastructure and create new autonomous economic systems
