Odaily Planet Daily reports that Stripe CEO and co-founder Patrick Collison and co-founder John Collison stated in their annual letter on Tuesday that as AI agents gradually become the primary executors of online transactions, blockchain activity will see significant growth, potentially supporting over 1 million or even 1 billion transactions per second.
They pointed out that current blockchain infrastructure has obvious gaps and needs large-scale expansion to meet future demands. They mentioned that a previous memecoin trading frenzy on a major blockchain caused payment delays for Bridge users of over 12 hours and a 35-fold increase in single-transaction fees.
According to Chainspect data, Internet Computer Protocol and Solana are currently the two fastest blockchains, with transaction speeds of approximately 1,196 and 1,140 transactions per second, respectively. They are the only two networks exceeding 1,000 transactions per second, with theoretical peaks of 209,708 and 65,000 transactions per second.
Stripe’s co-founder also outlined five capability levels of AI agents, including filling out web forms, descriptive search, remembering user information, executing tasks on behalf of users, and proactively anticipating needs. He stated that AI agents are currently at the cusp of the first two levels, having moved beyond pure hype into practical application exploration.
