On April 20th, Lennix, Global Business Officer of OKX, was invited to attend the "2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival" summit. He delivered a keynote speech entitled "Start building on Onchain OS" at the main forum, sharing the design philosophy and development direction of OKX Onchain OS from multiple dimensions, including the impact of AI Agents on transaction models, the construction of on-chain operating systems, and the evolution of Web3 infrastructure. Lennix stated that with the rapid development of large-scale models and AI Agents, users are beginning to use agents to complete market monitoring, signal generation, and strategy execution, leading to changes in trading behavior. However, the industry currently lacks an infrastructure that can balance execution efficiency and security, allowing AI Agents to truly participate in on-chain interactions and operations while ensuring user control. He further pointed out that Onchain OS is an on-chain operating system built for this purpose. By integrating transaction, data, security, and settlement capabilities, it enables AI Agents to complete decision-making and execution within a unified framework. Simultaneously, with increased collaboration between Agents and between Agents and humans, the future market will gradually evolve from "human-to-system" interaction to a "multi-entity collaborative" network structure. Lennix stated that an open ecosystem and infrastructure will be key in this process, giving every user the opportunity to access capabilities comparable to those of professional organizations through AI Agents, thereby reshaping how the entire Web3 ecosystem is participated in.
