Wired network introduced its Universal Transaction Layer (UTL), a unique open-source blockchain developed to meet the needs of the AI agent economy.
What happened: Wire Network’s UTL is the first third-generation blockchain, succeeding Bitcoin Bitcoin/USD And Ethereum ETH/USDaccording to the company’s official press release.
The UTL is designed to handle scalable and cost-effective transactions, meeting the demands of the booming AI agent economy.
“AI agents will need to be able to perform millions of transactions per second across all blockchains,” said Ken DiCross, CEO of Wire Network. “AI is ready, but the current blockchain infrastructure is not. That’s what Wire Network was created for.”
By making the UTL protocol open source, Wire Network invites developers, researchers, and industry stakeholders to contribute to its development. DiCross concludes: “We are excited to announce that as of today, the Wire Network protocol is open source and we invite engineers around the world to help us continue building the blockchain of the AI agent economy.”

“We provide the financial rails for the AI agent economy. It’s like giving AI a global passport and a universal currency,” DiCross said.
