Introduction to Web4

Web4 is the next phase of the internet.

Agentic provides this infrastructure via a new coordination layer.

Web2 connected people, and Web3 connected wallets, Web4 connects:

  • Humans

  • AI Agents

  • Capital

  • On-chain protocols

  • Off-chain systems

  • Real-world assets

…into autonomous, intelligent economies.


The Shift

Web2 → Interaction Internet

  • Social graphs

  • Platforms

  • Feeds

  • Centralized identity and distribution

Web3 → Ownership Internet

  • Wallets

  • Tokens

  • Permissionless markets

  • Programmable value

Web4 → Autonomous Internet

  • Agents coordinate on behalf of users

  • Payments execute automatically

  • Systems negotiate and settle

  • Value flows through intelligent routing

  • Outcomes are produced, beyond the paradigm of web content

Web4 turns the internet from a place you browse into a system that acts.


What Makes Web4 Different

1) Intelligence is native

Reasoning is embedded in the infrastructure layer.

2) Agents are first-class economic actors

Agents can hold identity, state, permissions, and incentives. They can transact and coordinate across systems.

3) Value moves with intent

Transactions are driven by goals, as opposed to simple user interactions. Payments become programmable actions.

4) Execution becomes autonomous

Actions are routed and verified across chains and real-world endpoints.


Why Agentic Exists

Web4 requires a protocol layer built for autonomy.

Agentic provides:

  • A framework for agent identity, coordination, and incentives

  • A payment and settlement fabric for agent economies

  • An execution mesh for cross-chain and real-world action

  • A standard for tokenized autonomous agents (AGNTs)

  • A unified architecture that scales from consumer UX to institutional rails

Agentic is infrastructure for the Autonomous Internet.
