VeChain CEO: Blockchain Is the 'Perfect Solution' for AI Agent Trust

VeChain co-founder and CEO Sunny Lu said on Cointelegraph's Chain Reaction program that autonomous AI agents operating around the clock need a "new accountability system" to build public trust, and that "the perfect solution is blockchain." He proposed that agents should hold digital "passports" and operate within a "decentralized trust system" that tracks the reputation of both the agents and their creators, with transactions between agents—and between agents and people—settled via smart contracts.

Lu made the remarks while introducing VeWorld.ai, an agent-building platform built on the VeChain blockchain. He likened the opportunity to mobile app stores, which allowed individual developers to distribute and monetize their work, saying agent-building tools could open the same market to people without coding skills—such as those with professional expertise, local knowledge, or hobbies. He has personally experimented with building an educational agent for his daughter, an agent to assist his mother with daily life and rehabilitation, and a virtual employee for an acquaintance's shop in Milan to manage procurement, inventory, sales, and operations.

VeChain has previously advanced blockchain adoption mainly through supply chain tracking, including food traceability projects. Industry insiders have also flagged the risks of relying on agent service providers: Animoca Brands chairman Yat Siu said in an October interview that crypto traders can have AI agents work around the clock, but users may end up building trading strategies around services they do not control.
