Sunny Lu, co-founder and CEO of VeChain, called blockchain the “perfect solution” for establishing trust in autonomous AI agents. Speaking on Cointelegraph’s Chain Reaction show on Wednesday, he said round-the-clock AI agents need a new accountability system. Identity and reputation verification, Lu argued, could drive blockchain’s next adoption cycle.
Lu made the case while promoting VeWorld.ai, an agent-building platform built on VeChain’s blockchain. In his vision, AI agents would carry digital “passports” and operate inside a “decentralized credibility system.” That system would track reputations of agents and their creators, while smart contracts could settle transactions between agents or between agents and people.
VeChain has already pursued blockchain adoption through supply-chain tracking, including food traceability projects. Lu compared the agent opportunity to mobile app stores, which let individual developers distribute and monetize their work. Agent-building tools, he said, could extend that market to non-developers.
Lu described his own experiments with the technology. They included an educational agent for his daughter, an agent supporting his mother’s daily routine and recovery, and a virtual employee for an acquaintance’s shop in Milan. The virtual employee managed purchasing, inventory, sales and operations.
Other industry participants have highlighted the risks of relying on agent providers. In an October interview, Animoca Brands chairman Yat Siu told Cointelegraph that crypto traders could put AI agents to work around the clock. He warned that users risked building trading strategies around services they did not control.
Lu’s remarks position blockchain as infrastructure for an emerging agent economy. VeChain’s push combines supply-chain traceability with agent identity and reputation tools through VeWorld.ai. Whether AI agents become blockchain’s next adoption driver will depend on building trust without ceding control to third-party providers.
