PANews reported on February 26th, citing Cointelegraph , that Stripe co-founders Patrick Collison and John Collison predicted in their annual letter that as AI agents become the main force in online transactions, the blockchain's transactions per second ( TPS ) may need to increase to one million or even one billion to bridge the infrastructure gap. They mentioned that a major public chain experienced a memecoin trading frenzy that caused Bridge users to experience withdrawal delays of over 12 hours and single-transaction fees to surge 35 times, highlighting the current inadequacy of scaling. Chainspect data shows that Internet Computer Protocol and Solana currently have actual TPS of approximately 1,196 and 1,140 respectively, with peak values of 25,621 and 5,289 , and theoretical upper limits of only about 209,700 and 65,000 TPS . Stripe points out that if AI agents widely assume five levels of capabilities—form filling, searching, remembering preferences, shopping on behalf of others, and even proactive decision-making—the future of "agent-based e-commerce" will rely on open protocols and universal interoperability.
