OKX introduced an AI-focused upgrade to its developer platform OnchainOS on Tuesday, pitching it as the infrastructure for autonomous crypto trading agents.

The AI ​​layer builds on familiar components such as wallet infrastructure, liquidity routing, and on-chain data feeds, combining them into a unified execution framework aimed at AI agents operating across chains.

Instead of wiring price feeds, token approvals, gas estimates, and manually changing routing, developers can connect an agent and issue a high-level instruction, such as exchanging ETH for USDC below a certain price. OnchainOS handles the workflow behind the scenes, from monitoring markets to providing liquidity and verifying settlements.

The tug of war between crypto and AI has grown exponentially in the past 12 months, and the blockchain AI market is expected to grow from $6 billion in 2024 to $50 billion by 2030.

And businessmen are using this technology to their advantage. A recent example was when a group of retail traders used AI to find “flaws” on a platform like Polymarket before instructing them to trade on their behalf.

More than 60 blockchain networks are supported, with smart routing across 500+ decentralized exchanges, according to a release from the company. OKX says the broader OnchainOS stack already processes 1.2 billion daily API calls and about $300 million in daily trading volume, indicating that the AI ​​layer sits on top of existing production infrastructure.

Access comes through natural language “AI skills,” model context protocol integration for coding agents like cloudcode and cursors, and direct REST APIs for developers wanting more control.

OnchainOS is globally available to developers starting Tuesday, March 3, the company said in a release.
