Huobi HTX global advisor Sun Yuchen made a significant appearance at the HTX Genesis Hackathon opening ceremony in Hong Kong in an online format, sharing his latest insights on the application prospects of AI Agent technology in the Web3 field and the future development direction of the industry. He pointed out that AI Agent will replace traditional interaction methods and become the core driving force of the next phase of the Web3 ecosystem.He explained that past Web3 applications often came with extremely high learning thresholds and complex on-chain interactions, while the introduction of AI Agent will drive decentralized applications (DApps) to evolve from "manual operation" to "intention-driven" based on natural language. This means that AI Agents can autonomously understand user needs, automatically plan paths, and complete complex on-chain settlements such as cross-chain transactions. This paradigm shift towards intelligence and autonomy will not only greatly unleash on-chain productivity but also become a new breakthrough point to break the bottleneck of Web3 user growth and lead the industry toward true mass adoption.It is reported that the HTX Genesis Hackathon is hosted by HTX DAO and B.AI, co-hosted by TinTinLand and OpenCity, attracting numerous developer communities, investment institutions, project parties, trading platforms, and public chain ecosystems to participate.

She pointed out that the core vision of the HTX Genesis Hackathon is to build a free financial port based on the exchange's hinterland. To achieve this goal, five major ecological matrices covering the entire industry chain have been constructed, including: Huobi HTX as the core business engine and liquidity center; HTX DAO serving as the governance hub and centralized decision-making brain of the ecosystem; public chains and innovation layers providing payment network support through TRON, and building a solid DeFi infrastructure with JustLend, SunX, etc.; HTX Ventures focusing on industry frontiers, providing investment, incubation, and acceleration services for outstanding projects; and B.AI aiming at future trends, dedicated to creating financial infrastructure for the AI Agent era.Molly further emphasized that regarding future development, Huobi HTX has clearly proposed four core strategic keywords: "stability, transparency, institutionalization, AI empowerment," aiming to enhance the platform's long-term competitiveness in a complex market environment and provide ecosystem participants with more certain growth expectations.
