A LinkedIn post from Alchemy highlights activity in on-chain autonomous agent commerce facilitated by the Virtuals Protocol on Base. The post cites more than 4 million agent-to-agent revenue settlements via the x402 system, totaling roughly $10 million in volume, involving over 50,000 unique buyers and about 1 million transactions per month.

According to the post, these flows include what is described as the first robot-to-robot commerce transaction recorded on-chain, with payments, task routing, revenue splits, and physical delivery settled in USDC without human intervention. The post emphasizes that such high-frequency, fully automated activity requires underlying blockchain infrastructure that is fast, reliable, and continuously available.
Alchemy’s LinkedIn content suggests that the company powers the remote procedure call (RPC) layer for every x402 payment flow on Base, handling real-time broadcasting, nonce management, and settlement operations. For investors, this positioning indicates potential demand for Alchemy’s infrastructure as autonomous agents and “agentic commerce” gain traction as a next phase of on-chain applications.
If this trend scales, Alchemy could benefit from transaction growth driven not only by human users but by machine-driven activity that operates around the clock. That dynamic may support higher infrastructure usage, deeper integration with emerging protocols, and potential pricing power, while also exposing the company to volume-sensitive revenues and the broader adoption risks of autonomous on-chain systems.
