Artificial intelligence is evolving from systems that simply answer questions into autonomous agents capable of performing tasks, making decisions, and interacting with digital services. As these AI agents become more independent, they may need something traditionally associated with humans: their own wallets.

Decentralized autonomous organizations, or DAOs, were created to coordinate communities without relying on a traditional centralized management structure. Members can submit proposals, discuss ideas, vote, manage shared treasuries, and collectively decide how a project should develop. Artificial intelligence introduces another possibility: what if AI systems could participate in that governance process?

Blockchain technology is usually associated with digital assets, decentralized finance, NFTs, and online applications. DePIN takes the idea of decentralization beyond the digital world by connecting blockchain networks with physical infrastructure.
