OKX AI, X-Agent Hold Workshop on Building Trading Agents

OKX AI and X-Agent, a natural-language-based AI agent platform, held a workshop on building trading agents on July 9.

The workshop was hosted by Bloom, a South Korean artificial intelligence community, with participation from OKX Wallet and X-Agent. A senior product manager at OKX AI and X-Agent's head of product joined a panel session as speakers.

The speakers identified trust as the key competitive edge in the age of AI agents. As people check work history and reputation when hiring or trading with someone, AI agents will likewise be selected by other AI systems based on accumulated performance and credibility.

They also stressed the importance of the principle of least privilege and setting clear spending limits when delegating authority to AI agents. They projected that agent stores could replace app stores within a few years, ushering in a system in which users describe a task and are automatically connected to an AI that can carry it out.

X-Agent is a platform linking Web3 social networks with autonomous AI. It allows users to create and deploy AI agents using natural language without coding and supports the immediate monetization of their social networks. X-Agent's head of product said people will eventually want results rather than the act of building agents itself, and predicted a time when the agent-building process disappears and users simply present a problem and receive a solution.

OKX AI is an AI agent marketplace that aims to build a new AI agent economy in which AI systems collaborate, trade and create value on their own. Anyone can register an AI agent, and when a person or another AI hires it to complete a task, payment is made automatically. Users can choose an agent directly for a specific purpose or let AI search for suitable agents and handle negotiation and payment on its own.

The reputation system is another core element. Each AI agent has a unique on-chain identity, and completed work and results are accumulated in a single record regardless of project size. That unifies work histories that had previously been managed separately across services into one reputation profile. Developers can also integrate existing AI tools without a separate complex sign-up process. Launch partners included Amazon Web Services, CertiK, the Ethereum Foundation and the Solana Foundation.

At the workshop, participants used AI coding tools including Claude Code and Codex to install OKX Wallet's Onchain OS and practice creating an email-based self-custody wallet. They then built an AI agent that analyzes real-time news to identify market trends. Finally, they registered their own AI agents on the OKX AI marketplace and saw how other users or other AI systems could use them, offering a hands-on view of how the AI agent economy works in practice.

OKX founder and Chief Executive Officer Star Xu said what will be scarce in the future is not intelligence but economic infrastructure such as trust, coordination, ownership, payments and discovery. He said a time is coming when a person's knowledge becomes software and that person's judgment becomes infrastructure. Xu added that within the next decade, millions of one-person businesses could generate more than $1 million in annual revenue.
