Artificial intelligence activity on blockchains has nearly doubled since the start of the year, with more funding and users piling into the trendy technology, according to blockchain analytics platform DappRadar.

AI-related onchain activity has surged by 86% so far in 2025, with an estimated 4.5 million VPNs or other anonymized sources. Asia was close behind Europe with just under 22% of users, while North America followed with 15.8%.

Gherghelas said the global spread shows that “AI agents are not a localized phenomenon.”

“Whether it’s a DeFi agent managing trades in Asia, a social agent representing users in Europe, or gaming companions interacting with players in North America, the demand is diverse, and increasingly cross-continental,” she added.
