Web3 wallet Holdstation introduces AI agent platform A(i)gentFi. The platform is dedicated to creating, managing and monetizing AI agents on the ZKsync network.
In a blog post published on Dec. 12, the ZKsync-based DeFi wallet Holdstation announced its plans to bring more artificial intelligence agents into the blockchain with the launch of its new AI agent hub A(i)gentFi and a $2 million grant aimed at accelerating AI innovation in the blockchain.
The firm described A(i)gentFi as a “one-stop shop on ZKsync dedicated to the creation and development of AI agents.” AI agents are AI-powered entities that are able to execute complex tasks like trading, analyzing markets and creating content. They operate autonomously, without any human intervention.
According to the blog post, A(i)gentFi aims to position itself as the “agent of all AI agents.” The platform claimed to prioritize real-world applications such as DeFi automation, yield farming, and tokenized AI ownership.

Unlike Virtuals.io — an online marketplace which focuses more on gaming and entertainment sectors — A(i)gentFi dedicates itself to the creation and development of AI agents. It employs DeFi automation to streamline complex processes, a fee-sharing mechanism that rewards participants, and a tokenized AI ownership system that lets users co-own AI agents on ZKsync.
In order to drive more developers to use the AI agent platform, Holdstation is also launching a $2 million grant to support developers, DAOs, and creators in building AI and blockchain projects on A(i)gentFi. Holdstation will provide technical assistance such as infrastructure, tools, and expert guidance for the project, as well as financial support in the form of Holdstation’s governance token, HOLD.
