The article discusses the issue of automated activity on blockchains, particularly in terms of active address counts. It mentions that bots, spammers, and other code-controlled entities often overshadow individual users and distort the true number of real users on a network. The active addresses metric primarily reflects the network's affordability for use, making it easier for spamming. The article then mentions the concept of creating AI agents and tokenizing them, with platforms like Pump.fun and Virtuals Protocol allowing users to do so. Virtuals Protocol, a newer platform, has seen significant growth in terms of AI agent creation and daily active address counts. However, the article questions the significance of active addresses in determining adoption by real users in the crypto space.
