Web3 technologies are ready to transform the world of commerce as well as web2 revolutionized access to information. The result will be a large liquid and open digital market where all physical goods can be listed and trade without problems.
In the first days of the Internet, the information sat inside the patented networks. Over time, the marginal cost of zero distribution, combined with the demand for consumer accessibility, led to open and search Internet that we enjoy today.
However, trade has been slower to evolve due to inherent complexities. Unlike information, physical assets require confidence between the parties, the ability to mediate reliable disputes and liquidation mechanisms. Historically, these needs have been met through centralized intermediaries, that the silo electronic commerce in closed and patented systems.
But web3 technologies, promoted by blockchain, have introduced a new paradigm. Smart contracts automate the liquidation processes, while the token of physical assets creates the open public infrastructure necessary to represent property and commerce. This eliminates the need for centralized intermediaries, allowing transactions without trust between the parties.
Like decentralized finances (Defi), traditional financial systems with “LEGO MONEY”, decentralized trade protocols will act as “Legos de Comercio” to build an open and interoperable market for goods.
AI trade agents: decentralized trade engines
Trade agents with AI are fundamental for the adoption and functionality of decentralized trade. These agents allow perfect integration, discovery and execution of decentralized protocols, transforming how goods and services are negotiated into an open and confidence market. Their capacities can be grouped into two main functions: add supply and demand, and facilitate trade on all platforms, which are backed by additional characteristics that improve decision making and user experience.
In the decentralized trade core is the need to unify fragmented data. The AI agents address this supplying and normalizing the data of isolated websites, markets and platforms, and loading it to decentralized protocols to create a unified and accessible market. Simultaneously, they analyze the intention of the buyer examining consumer behavior, search patterns and explicit signs of demand for multiple platforms.
By combining aggregation of supply and demand, these agents ensure that buyers and sellers can be found efficiently, reducing friction and optimizing liquidity in the market. The intelligent coincidence of supply demand further refines this process through the connection of products with buyers according to the price, quality, location and preferences, automating the process to optimize transactions.
Once supply and demand are combined, AI agents can facilitate transactions using decentralized protocols. This includes administering wandering deposit services, automating payments through intelligent contracts and coordinating the logistics of physical goods, guaranteeing a commercial experience without problems and without trust. In addition, these agents join decentralized trade protocols with traditional electronic commerce platforms, which allows multiplatform interoperability.
IA agents also provide processable information by analyzing global trends, prices and consumer preferences. This market intelligence helps sellers and buyers to make informed decisions, allowing competitive positioning and improving commercial strategies. By continuously adapting to changes in market dynamics, AI agents train participants to navigate decentralized trade effectively.
Together, these functions place the agents of AI as the driving force behind decentralized trade by promoting transparency, efficiency and liquidity in a global market. By joining data silos, automating transactions and improving decision -making, they create a robust base for a decentralized economy that is accessible, scalable and inclusive.
The symbiotic relationship between Crypt and AI
The synergy between crypto and AI will be fundamental for the transformation of trade into a decentralized and confidence ecosystem. Crypto needs AI to simplify its inherently complex systems, making decentralized protocols more accessible to users.
AI overlaps the intricate Crypto user interfaces with natural language interfaces, allowing perfect interactions. For example, instead of navigating manually for blockchain wallets and smart contracts, users can simply request that an AI agent buy an article in his name. The AI agent then executes the transaction by interacting directly with the cryptographic protocols, abstracting the technical complexities of the user.
On the contrary, AI needs cryptography to provide the verifiable and deterministic execution of trade transactions that guarantees confidence in autonomous operations. Decentralized trade protocols, promoted by Blockchain, offer registers of transparent transaction to manipulation and transparent proof. This verifiability is crucial since IA agents assume more significant roles to facilitate and automate trade, ensuring that actions are not only efficient but also verifiable and reliable.
Together, these technologies unlock all the potential of decentralized ecosystems. AI’s ability to process information and act autonomously, combined with Crypto’s ability for safe and transparent execution, creates a powerful basis for a new era of decentralized trade. This synergy will promote adoption, rationalize transactions and encourage confidence in global markets.
The 2 phases of the decentralized trade: vampire attack and interruption
Initially, the decentralized trade will be launched through the “attacking” platforms and markets. The agents of AI will scrape the data of products and buyers of these systems of silence, creating a parallel decentralized inventory and a demand group. Transactions will be facilitated in decentralized trade rails, taking advantage of low costs, security without trust and verifiability provided by intelligent contracts.
This stage reflects how Airbnb interrupted Craigslist, as described by Cange Choudary in the book “Platform Revolution”. Airbnb initially drew supply (room listings) and demand (users) of Craigslist offering a improved reserve widget. This allowed AirbnB to capture and control the interactions between buyers and vendors while building its own platform.
As decentralized trade protocols mature, they will change directly to interrupt and displace traditional platforms. Higher efficiency, transparency and open nature of these systems, driven by AI agents, will attract buyers and vendors, reducing dependence on centralized platforms. Just as Airbnb finally created an independent ecosystem that eclipsed Craigslist, decentralized trade will exceed and make traditional markets obsolete.
The future of trade: a universal market for things
By combining AI automation with decentralized trust mechanisms, trade will no longer be limited by geography, platform restrictions or centralized guardians. Instead, we will see the appearance of a truly global and liquid market for all physical and digital assets, a market for the future. This transition will not only democratize access, but also guarantee that the value created within the ecosystem is distributed among the participants, instead of capturing by some centralized entities.
The era of the decentralized trade just begins, and its potential to remodel the markets is parallel to the transformative internet impact on information.
