Avalanche Treasury CEO Bart Smith highlighted that the rapid growth of AI agents executing continuous on-chain transactions will strain blockchain capacity, especially on shared networks like Ethereum and Solana. Avalanche's subnet architecture, which allows isolated, purpose-built Layer 1 blockchains, offers a competitive advantage by preventing congestion across different applications. Avalanche currently supports around 80 such subnets with plans to expand to 200, targeting enterprise clients who prefer isolated infrastructure for better performance and control. This shift underscores how AI agents are already impacting blockchain design and institutional adoption strategies.
Avalanche Treasury CEO's warning about AI agents and blockchain capacity comes as a broad market rally is seen on Pluang. Of 50 major cryptocurrencies priced on Pluang, 46 rose and 3 fell today.
