OKX on Tuesday rolled out an AI-focused upgrade to OnchainOS, its developer platform, deploying it as infrastructure for autonomous crypto trading agents.
The AI layer builds on well-known components such as wallet infrastructure, liquidity routing, and on-chain data feeds, and combines them into a unified execution framework focused on AI agents operating across chains.
Instead of manually wiring up price feeds, token approvals, gas estimates, and swap routing, developers can connect an agent and provide high-level instructions, such as exchanging ETH for USDC under a certain price. OnchainOS handles the behind-the-scenes workflow, from monitoring markets to obtaining liquidity and confirming settlement.
The intersection between crypto and AI has grown exponentially over the past twelve months, with the blockchain AI market expected to rise from $6 billion in 2024 to $50 billion by 2030.
And traders are using the technology to their advantage. A recent example was where a group of retailers used AI to find “issues” on platforms like Polymarket before instructing AI to trade on their behalf.
According to a press release from the company, more than 60 blockchain networks are supported, along with smart routing across more than 500 decentralized exchanges. OKX says the broader OnchainOS stack already processes 1.2 billion daily API calls and approximately $300 million in daily trading volume, underscoring that the AI layer sits on top of existing production infrastructure.
Access comes via natural language “AI Skills,” Model Context Protocol integration for coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor, and direct REST APIs for developers looking for more control.
OnchainOS will be available to developers worldwide starting Tuesday, March 3, the company said in a release.
