AI-Powered Blockchain Activity Soars 86%, Nears Gaming Market Share

AI Agents Surge in Blockchain: 86% Growth, $1.39B Funding, and Rapid Expansion in Decentralized App Market

  • Blockchain-based Artificial Intelligence activity has grown by 86% since the beginning of 2025, according to DappRadar.
  • AI decentralized apps (DApps) now account for 19% of the blockchain app market, nearly matching the 20% share held by blockchain gaming.
  • Funding for AI agent projects reached $1.39 billion in 2025, a 9.4% increase over the previous year.
  • Europe leads in trackable AI DApp usage with 26% of interactions, followed by Asia and North America.
  • AI agents, which can automate blockchain actions, are shifting how users interact with decentralized application protocols.

Blockchain analytics firm DappRadar reports that artificial intelligence-related activity on blockchain networks has almost doubled this year. The number of daily unique wallets using AI decentralized applications has climbed to approximately 4.5 million in 2025.

AI DApps have expanded their market share from 9% at the start of the year to 19%, closely trailing blockchain gaming at 20%. Analyst Sara Gherghelas told DappRadar that this increase reflects the emergence of “structural change” in user interaction with decentralized apps, not just a passing trend.

Gherghelas explained that, “Whether it’s through DeFi copilots, social agents, or autonomous gaming assistants, AI agents are becoming a new onchain interface layer.” The report predicts that autonomous AI agents—programs able to perform blockchain actions independently, such as trading—will soon overtake gaming in daily user engagement.

Funding for AI agent projects in 2025 has reached $1.39 billion, marking a 9.4% rise compared to last year. While this still falls short of investment in large AI companies like OpenAI, Gherghelas noted it now rivals or exceeds the funding received by other blockchain sectors, such as gaming. She stated, “In Web3, investors are increasingly seeing AI agents as a new primitive, one that could reshape how users interact with protocols, navigate DApps, or even automate personal financial strategies.” DappRadar’s report suggested this may be the first year AI agents surpass other categories in fundraising within Web3.

Geographically, DappRadar data shows most identified AI DApp users are in Europe (26%), followed by unspecified regions using VPNs (33%), Asia (22%), and North America (16%). Gherghelas commented, “AI agents are not a localized phenomenon.”

DappRadar’s ongoing research indicates that demand for AI agents in decentralized apps spans trading, social functions, and gaming across continents, suggesting their integration is now a key driver within Web3 platforms. For more details, see the full DappRadar report.
