Blockchain as a trust infrastructure for autonomous agents

The article examines the transformation of the digital environment under the influence of autonomous agents capable of independently interacting with services, initiating operations, and participating in economic relations. The spread of agent-based systems requires the formation of a trusted infrastructure that ensures the verifiability of an agent’s origin, the confirmation of authority, and the traceability of actions. Reputation may be considered a computable indicator based on the history of actions, quality of execution, and confirmed results. The development of autonomous agents may lead to the formation of a more manageable digital economy, in which trust is ensured by the transparency of operations and programmable settlement mechanisms.
