Over the past few weeks, I’ve been exploring the vision behind Fabric Foundation and its broader ecosystem around FabricFND, and one idea keeps standing out to me: the future internet may not just connect people — it may coordinate machines.
What makes FabricFND interesting is its focus on building infrastructure for a machine economy, where AI agents and robots can operate as economic participants. According to industry estimates, the global robotics market could surpass $260 billion by 2030, and yet the infrastructure for machines to identify themselves, coordinate tasks, and transact autonomously is still largely missing. That’s the gap FabricFND is trying to address.
One insight that I find particularly compelling is the idea of machine identity and machine wallets. If robots and AI agents are going to perform real-world tasks — deliveries, inspections, logistics, data collection — they will need a way to verify identity and receive payments. FabricFND is essentially exploring how blockchain could provide that trust layer for autonomous systems.
We often talk about Web3 as the internet of value, but FabricFND pushes the idea a step further — toward an internet of autonomous actors.
If this vision materializes, the next wave of blockchain adoption might not come from humans alone, but from machines interacting with each other economically.
Curious to hear what others think:
Are we ready for a world where robots and AI agents become on-chain economic participants?
