According to data from the blockchain analysis platform DappRadar, AI activity on the blockchain has nearly doubled since the beginning of the year, with more funds and users pouring into this hot technology.
DappRadar reported on Thursday that from January to May 2025, AI-related on-chain activity surged by 86%, with an estimated 4.5 million daily unique active wallets participating in AI decentralized applications (DApps).
The growth in daily users has increased the market share of AI applications from 9% at the beginning of the year to 19%, second only to blockchain games at 20%.
DappRadar analyst Sara Gherghelas stated that the growth of AI is "not just hype," but reflects a "structural change" in how users interact with decentralized applications.
"Whether through DeFi assistants, social agents, or autonomous gaming assistants, AI agents are becoming the new on-chain interface layer."
DappRadar predicted in May that the use of AI agents—programs that can autonomously execute blockchain operations (such as transactions)—will soon surpass gaming, which has traditionally dominated the DApp ecosystem.
Gherghelas's report noted that from January to May 2025, AI agent projects have raised $1.39 billion, a 9.4% increase compared to 2024.
She added that although this figure still pales in comparison to AI funding from companies like OpenAI, "it is noteworthy that funding in the AI agent space is now comparable to or even exceeds that of other Web3 verticals (such as blockchain gaming)."
"In Web3, investors are increasingly viewing AI agents as a new foundational element that could reshape how users interact with protocols, navigate DApps, and even automate personal financial strategies," she said.
Gherghelas stated that 2025 could be the year when capital attracted by AI agents first surpasses "any other Web3 vertical."
Data recorded by DappRadar from January to June found that most AI DApp users it could identify came from Europe, accounting for 26% of all interactions.
The largest user share, at 33%, came from unspecified regions and users utilizing VPNs or other anonymous sources. Asia followed Europe closely, with a user share slightly below 22%, while North America ranked next at 15.8%.
Gherghelas noted that the global distribution shows that "AI agents are not a localized phenomenon."
"Whether it's DeFi agents managing trades in Asia, social agents representing users in Europe, or gaming companions interacting with players in North America, the demand is diverse and increasingly cross-continental," she added.
