Artela Network has officially launched its mainnet, establishing itself as the first Layer 1 blockchain designed to support on-chain AI agents. Alongside the mainnet launch, the network has introduced its native token, $ART.
Users can now configure their wallets with mainnet details via ArtHome and Chainlist channels. Additionally, token data queries are seamlessly accessible through the Artela and OKX browsers, ensuring smooth navigation of blockchain information. To simplify wallet integration, Artela has provided specific instructions, including the ChainID and RPC link, to ensure a quick and hassle-free connection process.
In tandem with the mainnet, Artela has unveiled the Artela Governance Dashboard, a dedicated tool for staking and ecosystem governance. This initiative is designed to foster active community participation and decision-making within the network.
Expanding ecosystem and interoperability
The Artela ecosystem has rapidly grown, with over 50 native projects already deployed. Key projects within the ecosystem include Artexswap, Artemis, Meridian, Symmetric, Accumulated, and ArteFarm, reflecting the network’s commitment to fostering blockchain innovation and adoption.
To enhance cross-chain functionality, Artela has partnered with Hyperlane to launch the Artela Mainnet Bridge, scheduled for release on January 17. This bridge will enable seamless interoperability between blockchain networks and strengthen Artela’s presence in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
AI Agents gaining momentum in crypto
AI agents are becoming a prominent trend in the cryptocurrency industry, garnering significant attention. Recent reports indicate that the AI agent market has seen a surge of over 20% in activity within the past 24 hours, highlighting increased investor interest and technological advancements.
