PRESS RELEASE.
British Virgin Islands, April 9, 2026 — B.AI, a financial infrastructure built for the AI Agent era, today announced its global launch, introducing a full-stack platform that integrates AI access, payments, settlement, identity, and coordination. B.AI combines AI infrastructure with blockchain technology to support identity verification and autonomous payments, successfully delivering a comprehensive end-to-end service suite for AI agents. By removing reliance on traditional onboarding processes such as account registration, geographic restrictions, and credit card payments, B.AI enables permissionless access to AI services through crypto wallets. B.AI is designed to accelerate the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by building the infrastructure required for AI agents to operate autonomously at scale. B.AI also acts as a unified gateway for aggregating leading AI models, enabling users to interact across multiple providers in a single platform.
B.AI leverages the 8004 protocol, an onchain identity system that enables agent-to-agent (A2A) trust by linking blockchain addresses to verifiable reputations. The protocol supports decentralized registration, reputation management, and trusted verification, providing a foundation for the A2A economy. Each AI agent is assigned a unique, immutable onchain identity that records a public, traceable history, including service activity, user feedback, and skill certifications. This allows previously unacquainted agents to verify one another and collaborate at scale.
Additionally, B.AI integrates the x402 open payment standard to enable automated, trustless value transfer between AI agents. Based on the HTTP 402 framework, x402 introduces a pay-to-access model for digital services, supporting high-frequency microtransactions, real-time settlement, and fully automated workflows. This allows AI agents to access compute resources, interact with data services, pay for APIs, and execute onchain transactions. By enabling agents to exchange and monetize generated outputs, the system supports a continuous and interoperable payment loop within the agent economy.
Rounding out the platform is a suite of ecosystem tools designed to enhance agent performance. BAIclaw, a locally deployed desktop application built on OpenClaw and ClawX, which enables autonomous deployment and multi-agent collaboration. Supporting this is the MCP Server, providing streamlined access to AI and blockchain services; the Agent Wallet, offering encrypted local key storage for secure asset management; and the OpenClaw Extension, a one-click solution that integrates B.AI’s full Web3 capabilities into existing AI agents without requiring code modifications.
The launch comes as AI systems move beyond conversational use cases toward more autonomous execution, while underlying infrastructure remains fragmented and limited in interoperability and financial functionality. B.AI’s architecture is designed to address these constraints by providing a standardized layer for access, identity, and value transfer.
The platform is intended to enable AI agents to function as autonomous economic actors, capable of managing assets, accessing services, and transacting independently. B.AI is focused on building scalable, interoperable infrastructure for the emerging agent economy, with the longer-term aim of supporting more advanced autonomous systems. As the convergence of AI and blockchain accelerates, B.AI is positioned to support scalable, trustless coordination between agents and serve as a key catalyst for the advancement of AGI.
About B.AI
B.AI is a financial infrastructure built for the AI Agent era, designed to address the core challenges agents face in model access, payments, settlement, identity, and coordination. Through a unified API and settlement network, B.AI enables AI Agents to connect more freely to leading global models and services, while using agent wallets to pay, get paid, and exchange value autonomously. At the same time, B.AI builds verifiable identity and credit primitives for agents through on-chain accounts, helping AI evolve from software tools into economic actors that can transact, collaborate, and operate continuously at scale. By lowering barriers to model access, enabling seamless value transfer, and establishing an economic framework for intelligent agents, B.AI aims to accelerate the maturation of the AI Agent ecosystem, advance the real-world development of AGI, and make the benefits of AI more accessible to a broader range of users and developers.
