- 35M+ x402 transactions processed on Solana since launch
- 97%+ of tracked agentic transactions in Q2 used x402
- 90%+ of agentic stablecoin volume happened on Base
- 99%+ of agentic commerce was settled in USDC
It's needless to say that within the next few years. Scratch that…Within the next few quarters, the AI agent txn pie is about to grow exponentially.
And driving this growth are some of the most talented teams in the industry.
In this feature piece, we will spotlight some of the teams that continue to generate arguably the highest numbers in 2026 so far.
Revenue here refers to the subset of fees the protocol keeps for itself after paying out to liquidity providers.
Strictly NFA. For information purposes only.
Starting with:
1. Virtuals Protocol
A launchpad where anyone can spin up an AI agent and give it its own token, so the agent can earn and be co-owned by holders. Built for creators monetizing agents and traders who want exposure to them.
Operating across Base, Robinhood Chain, Solana, Ethereum
Revenue in last 30 days - **$2.0M + ** Revenue to date - $73M
2. Clanker
An AI bot that deploys a token for you when you describe one in a post on X. The bot handles the contract, the liquidity pool and the fee split. Built for creators and communities who want to launch a token without touching code.
Operates on Base
Revenue in last 30 days - $45,000+ Revenue to date - $15M
3. Bankr
A chat-based agent you talk to on X or Farcaster to swap tokens or launch one, with fees split between the creator, the protocol and a burn. Built for retail traders who don't want to open a DEX, and for agents deploying tokens programmatically.
Revenue in last 30 days: $750K + cumulative revenue: ~$13M
4. Almanak
A platform where a swarm of AI agents researches, simulates and runs quant DeFi strategies inside secured vaults. Built for depositors who want automated yield and quants who want to ship strategies without running infra.
Revenue to date: $500K+ (peak quarter was Q4 2025 at $1.52M gross)
5. Capx AI
Infrastructure for running whole companies on agents deployment, orchestration, governance and on-chain settlement in one stack.
Capx Chain, an Ethereum L2
Revenue, last 30 days: $30,000+
Primarily EVM
6. ZyFAI
A yield agent that moves your stablecoins across whitelisted DeFi protocols to chase the best risk-adjusted APY, while you keep custody. Built for passive depositors and treasuries.
Revenue, last 30 days: $10,000+

What does this tell us?
The Onchain agentic economy is growing. And this is just one vertical of the broader Crypto × AI convergence.
Micropayments, x402, ERC-8004, and other emerging mechanisms are being built to make onchain infrastructure capable of supporting potentially billions of autonomous agents.
The signals are already visible
As the infra becomes more reliable, interoperable and secure for high-intensity autonomous activity the volumes of agentic commerce will soar automatically.
Watch this space.
