Wire Network, a blockchain purpose-built for the AI agent economy, has officially launched its alpha testnet, which enables AI agents to transact across global industries from finance to gaming. Unlike current cryptosystems that can be slow, costly, and centralized, Wire Network said its Universal Transaction Layer (UTL) creates a fast, scalable, secure, and gas-free foundation for AI to support the next chapter of the global financial ecosystem across all chains for financial interoperability.
This blockchain provides the infrastructure to handle high-speed transactions while eliminating barriers like intermediaries and fees. While the alpha mainnet is closed, it has full functionality as the third implementation of the chain, which is now permanent.
Firms from ApeChain to Ethereum are plugged into Wire Network’s alpha mainnet, allowing the fundamental technology to power a new chapter of cross-chain connectivity. Wire Network’s testnet will remain available for public use.
“With today’s launch, we are laying the foundation for a truly decentralized and interoperable future,” said Ken DiCross, founder and CEO of Wire Network. “This is more than just a technical achievement—it’s a critical step toward empowering AI agents to transact freely and securely across any platform.
We’re entering the golden age of humanity and innovation, where identity, trust, and data integrity will define success. In granting easy access and flow of resources between various chains, we’re eliminating the loss of millions of dollars that get burned in unnecessary gas fees.”
Key features of Wire Network:
- Scalability and speed: Infrastructure designed to handle high-speed transactions per second, ready to support global adoption.
- Compatibility: Seamless transactions across all blockchains, eliminating the need for bridges.
- Zero fees: Removes financial barriers to adoption, especially for high-volume, real-time applications like gaming and micropayments.
- Decentralized identity: Secure identity verification for AI agents and users, ensuring trust and transparency.
As the AI economy accelerates and is expected to surpass $15 trillion by 2030, Wire Network believes its alpha mainnet unlocks a new opportunity for a scalable, decentralized infrastructure that is future-proof and solves some of the most pressing challenges that face the modern intersection of AI and finance.
