The rise of AI trading agents as a main primitive among crypto traders is an inevitability according to Kaiski, co-founder of TankDAO.

Kai, who leads an accelerator focused on end-to-end support for emerging Web3 projects across Asia, explained on June 30 that he sees “autonomous onchain agents” as the hottest use case for AI in the space. These are bots or AI agents that can autonomously manage liquidity, mirror trades of onchain whales, or optimize yield strategies.

“Imagine having a bot that tracks a top wallet and copy trades in real time across chains like Solana and Hyperliquid,” Kai explained. “Or a tool that adjusts Uniswap V3 positions automatically based on volatility. These aren’t future ideas. They’re already starting to roll out.”

Benefits for Users

He emphasized that these solutions solve real pain points for users and founders alike. While most users lack the time or skills to constantly manage positions across chains, AI agents can act as co-pilots that allow humans to delegate decision making, reduce errors, and improve outcomes.

For builders, these agents can filter real users from airdrop farmers, identify wallet behaviors, and boost acquisition efficiency.

These aren’t future ideas. They’re already starting to roll out.

Kai noted that Tank is doubling down on teams building these agent layers. “Not just bots that execute,” he said, “but ones that understand wallet behavior and take meaningful action.”

When asked if he uses such tools himself, Kai confirmed that both his DAO, TankDAO, and his day-to-day operations rely heavily on AI, but did not mention specifically AI trading bots. He uses AI for summarizing governance proposals, detecting voter collusion, generating quest systems, and even building interactive NPCs based on NFT holdings.

“AI isn’t just a productivity boost anymore—it’s a core layer in Web3,” he said.

As the Web3 landscape matures, expect AI agents to become embedded in everything from DeFi to governance. For Kai and TankDAO, the future of crypto is automated, intelligent, and user-first.

Security Concerns

Swept Media has covered the security concerns surrounding AI crypto trading agents before, and noted that agent reliability is the biggest bottleneck on the way towards broader utilization of these tools. AI agent verification platforms are already working to tackle this and other issues in the sector.
