Whitepaper Reading Club EP9: Agentic Finance
AI agents aren't just chatbots anymore — they're trading, investing, and managing portfolios. From Virtuals Protocol crossing $1B+ in market cap to frameworks like ElizaOS powering autonomous on-chain agents, "Agent Finance" emerged as crypto's hottest narrative in late 2024. But strip away the hype — what's actually happening under the hood?
What we'll cover:
Fundamentals of Agent Finance — what it means for AI agents to hold wallets, execute transactions, and allocate capital autonomously
The Agent Finance Landscape in 2026
Key protocol architectures — how frameworks like ElizaOS, Virtuals, and others are structured
And more!
For WPRC KL [09] — We're going beyond the hype and into the technical architecture. We'll be reading and dissecting Agent Finance protocols — examining the wallet abstraction, decision-making frameworks, trust/delegation models, and the infrastructure stack that lets AI agents become autonomous economic actors.
Who should come: Developers, researchers, and curious minds who want a first-principles understanding of prediction market protocols. No prior deep knowledge required — just bring your questions.
You dont need to prepare anything as we will have you covered ;). Whitepaper provided, we'll read and break it down together, section by section.
