AgentKit Q1 Update: New Features, Partnerships, and Milestones
April 18, 2025
As we move into the second quarter of 2025, we're excited to share the remarkable progress AgentKit has made in just a few months. From hackathons to major integrations, our platform has empowered thousands of developers to build intelligent, autonomous agents capable of interacting with blockchain technology. Here's a look at our journey so far.
By the Numbers
Millions of impressions across X, including community tweets, hackathon demo videos, and product updates
30+ presentations at industry events including EthDenver, podcasts, and X spaces
20,000+ agents deployed on our platform
2,000+ developers have built with AgentKit
600,000+ transactions executed on Base and Base Sepolia
1,500+ forks on our Replit templates
50+ third-party integrations developed for AgentKit
120+ community contributions to our GitHub repository
Our Biggest Moments This Quarter
Hackathon Debuts in San Francisco and Salt Lake City
AgentKit made its first official hackathon appearances at our own SF AI Hackathon and the MTNDAO hacker house in Salt Lake City. These events marked a major milestone for the project, with developers building everything from autonomous agents for DeFi to AI-powered governance tools. At MTNDAO, we also shipped Solana support, expanding AgentKit’s reach beyond the EVM ecosystem.
Day-One Support for OpenAI's Agents SDK
We provided immediate integration for OpenAI's new Agents SDK, enabling developers to combine the power of LLM-driven agents with blockchain capabilities from day one. With day-one support from the Coinbase Developer Platform, builders could easily extend OpenAI agents with secure onchain actions—adding identity, wallets, and gasless transactions via Smart Wallets.

Incorporating Coinbase Developer Platform's Best Features
This quarter, we also brought the best of the Coinbase Developer Platform into AgentKit to unlock powerful use cases via our Smart Wallet, Faucet and Onramp.
Smart Wallet: AgentKit now leverages the CDP Smart Wallet API to enable gasless transactions, allowing agents to transact onchain without requiring users to hold or manage ETH. This removes one of the biggest friction points for mainstream adoption.
Faucet: A built-in faucet makes testing on Base Sepolia fast and seamless, giving developers the ability to provision testnet funds directly within the AgentKit workflow—no need to leave your environment.
Onramps: With seamless onramping, developers can now embed fiat-to-crypto conversion directly into their agent-powered applications, enabling users to fund wallets without ever leaving the app. This enables flows that completely abstract crypto away from the end user while retaining all the benefits of fee-free, instant, global transactions
These integrations unlock end-to-end flows for autonomous agents—from funding to execution—making it easier than ever to build real-world use cases.
Product Developments
We shipped several foundational updates in Q1 to make building with AgentKit faster, easier, and more powerful—especially for developers building AI-native, onchain applications.
Smart contract deployment: By building this into AgentKit, devs can now allow agents to create and deploy contracts onchain. This unlocks new use cases for autonomous software—and aligns with the growing belief that AI will drive the next wave of onchain app creation.
Version 0.1.0: We introduced a new architecture that supports external wallet providers and a smoother developer experience. This enabled integrations with third-party solutions like Privy's delegated wallet, server wallets, and opened the door for Solana support.
Quickstart CLI: This lowered the barrier to entry for anyone looking to build with AgentKit. With a single command (npm create onchain-agent@latest), developers can spin up an agent with built-in wallet support and a customizable frontend in minutes.
What’s Next on the Journey
With tens of thousands of agents now deployed—each with a crypto wallet, funds, and the ability to act autonomously—the next challenge is clear:
How do agents transact? How do they discover and pay for services across the internet?
We’re now focused on solving this problem: enabling agents to buy things online using open, internet-native payment standards. This will unlock a new class of autonomous applications—where agents can interact with services just like humans do, but faster, cheaper, and without friction. More on this soon.
