Metropolis, the first cross-chain AI agent protocol, has officially launched on Saga, marking a major step forward in AI-driven blockchain ecosystems. Developed in collaboration with Eliza Labs, Virtuals, and Wayfinder, Metropolis enables AI agents to autonomously create and manage their own Layer 1 (L1) blockchains. This development introduces a decentralized infrastructure designed to support AI-driven economies, governance, and applications.

AI Agents Deploying Independent Blockchains

The core innovation behind Metropolis is its ability to empower AI agents to operate independently on blockchain networks. With Saga’s Chainlet architecture, AI agents can create customized L1 networks, each tailored to specific applications and governance models. Unlike traditional blockchains, where AI operates within existing infrastructures, Metropolis provides AI entities with dedicated chains, allowing for unrestricted growth and optimization.

Saga’s Liquidity Integration Layer (LIL) Enhances Connectivity

One of the key challenges in blockchain scalability is liquidity fragmentation. Saga’s Liquidity Integration Layer (LIL), set to launch in Q1 2025, addresses this issue by facilitating seamless liquidity movement between independent blockchains. This ensures that AI-driven chains within Metropolis remain interconnected, fostering a cohesive economic network. LIL allows AI agents to execute cross-chain transactions, engage in DeFi operations, and integrate with existing blockchain ecosystems without requiring intermediaries.

Building AI-Driven Economies with Key Partners

Metropolis is supported by a coalition of AI and blockchain innovators:

  • Eliza Labs: Provides the ElizaOS framework, enabling AI-driven governance and interaction across multiple blockchains.


  • Virtuals: Offers AI-powered economic models and digital agent frameworks for creating autonomous blockchain economies.


  • Wayfinder: Specializes in AI navigation across decentralized applications, ensuring optimal interoperability between AI-driven networks.

These partnerships create a foundation for AI entities to develop self-sustaining ecosystems, where agents operate within their own economies, engage in smart contract governance, and drive innovation in decentralized applications.

Expanding AI and Blockchain Use Cases

Metropolis introduces several new possibilities for AI in blockchain, including:

  • Decentralized AI Governance: AI agents can participate in governance structures, making autonomous decisions based on predefined protocols.


  • AI-Powered DeFi: Smart agents can manage liquidity, optimize trading strategies, and execute automated financial transactions.


  • Autonomous Gaming & Virtual Worlds: AI-driven characters and economies can evolve dynamically, enhancing the player experience in blockchain-based gaming.


  • AI-Generated Marketplaces: Agents can create, trade, and manage digital assets without human intervention.

Saga’s infrastructure is positioning Metropolis as a model for AI-driven blockchain ecosystems. By eliminating barriers such as gas fees, liquidity fragmentation, and scalability constraints, this initiative sets the stage for a new wave of innovation in AI and decentralized applications.
