Artificial intelligence is fast becoming a dominant force in Web3, with onchain AI usage rising sharply in the first half of 2025.
New data from DappRadar shows daily interactions with AI-powered decentralized applications (DApps) have surged by 86%, now engaging over 4.5 million unique wallets.
AI platforms now make up nearly a fifth of total DApp activity, rapidly closing in on blockchain gaming, which still leads by a narrow margin. The shift reflects a deeper transformation in how users interact with decentralized systems, as AI agents evolve from novelty tools to core infrastructure — automating trades, assisting in DeFi, and powering next-gen gaming experiences.
Capital is following the trend. AI-related Web3 startups have raised $1.39 billion this year — a nearly 10% increase from 2024 — placing them ahead of most other blockchain sectors in terms of new funding. According to DappRadar analyst Sara Gherghelas, this momentum could position AI agents as the top investment target in crypto this year.
The technology’s reach is global. Most identifiable users are in Europe (26%), followed by Asia (22%) and North America (16%). A third of all AI activity stems from anonymized sources, hinting at widespread privacy tools or untracked regions.
What’s clear is that AI is no longer a side story in blockchain. With real capital, international adoption, and soaring user demand, it’s quickly becoming a pillar of the decentralized internet.
