Justin Sun’s Tron Network has joined forces with the Agentic AI Foundation to prepare and support the widespread adoption of AI agents.

In an announcement on Monday, the Tron Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) revealed that the Tron Network has signed on as a member of the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) and will serve on its board of directors.

Tron DAO said there will be significant demand coming from agentic AI in the future, and as such, it requires collaboration and interoperability to create systems that can efficiently handle “high-volume, low-value continuous transactions at scale.”

“Interoperable frameworks are expected to play an important role in ensuring that AI agents are able to operate across platforms and services without creating fragmented ecosystems,” the DAO said.

Last month, Stripe CEO and co-founder Patrick Collison and co-founder John Collison said there is a significant infrastructure gap in blockchain and said significant improvements are needed at scale to meet this incoming demand.

“By supporting the development of open infrastructure through the Foundation, TRON DAO aims to contribute to collaborative standards that make building AI agents easier, safer to operate, and more accessible,” he added.

The AAIF is managed by the Linux Foundation and is designed to advance the development of open source AI, along with helping set industry standards for governance, safety, and interoperability. Tron joins the likes of Circle and JPMorgan in jumping on board the AAIF.

The founder says Tron’s focus in 2026 is artificial intelligence

Sun said last month that artificial intelligence would “definitely” be a major focus of the network this year, arguing that Tron’s speed, scalability and low fees are key factors for hosting AI agent transactions.

Sun noted that the network is working to build infrastructure and cooperation to support demand for artificial intelligence. One recent example is AI Bank, a financial layer created for AI clients by AINFT, which first launched on Tron and BNB Chain in mid-February.

DeFiLlama data indicates that Tron currently tops the charts in terms of revenue generated by all blockchains over the past 24 hours, seven days, and 30 days, with $1.01 million, $6.54 million, and $25.58 million each.
