- Polygon has published a CLI kit that allows AI agents to access wallets, payments, swaps, bridging, on-chain identities, and more.
- Founder Sandeep Nailwal says the kit is like giving agents their own open money stack.
Polygon joins a growing list of blockchain networks releasing new tools targeting AI agents and has unveiled a new CLI kit that allows these agents to interact directly with the network.
The Polygon Agent CLI is described as an integrated tool “with all the functionality needed to move agents on-chain.” This allows agents to hold and move funds on the network and make payments for services on-chain without the need for human intervention.
Founder Sandeep Nailwal, who currently leads Polygon Foundation, explained that the toolkit is everything agents need to move on-chain, adding, “We literally just gave agents their own open money stack.”
You need to understand something. AI agents will need real financial rails: real wallets, real identities, and real payments.
The team shipped just that. A single CLI has everything your agents need to go on-chain on Polygon.
We literally just gave our agents their own open… https://t.co/P2mjTsWlT1

Nailwal says an AI agent economy can only work if these agents have access to real financial rails and enable real identity verification and payments.
Polygon joins Injective, which earlier this week released a similar CLI toolkit that allows agents to interact with the network directly from the device. As reported by CNF, Injective is targeted at developers building dApps and automation tools on the network, eliminating the need for stopping and searching commands for routine blockchain tasks.
Autonomous AI agent on Polygon
Previously, deploying an AI agent on Polygon required developers to integrate several tools to access bridges, swaps, wallets, payment rails, identity systems, and other features. The new CLI kit includes all of these tools.
Agents who integrate the kit can create and manage wallets, send tokens to other agents, exchange assets, bridge funds between chains, view transaction history, and register their own on-chain identities.
You can also automatically pay for data services and APIs. This is essential for AI agents that require data to run, and this data may also be stored behind a paywall. This is made possible by incorporating the x402 protocol, which allows these APIs and services to bill directly through HTTP requests.
x402 was designed by Coinbase and Cloudflare, but has since become an open industry standard. As reported by CNF, Algorand recently joined the x402 ecosystem through GoPlausible, a payment processor on the network. Solana is one of the most widely used networks for this standard, with network processing exceeding $600,000 per day at one point.
In particular, Polygon’s new CLI kit allows you to pay all your gas bills with stablecoins. $POL Required. However, you can only pay your Polygon gas bill in the following ways: $POLSo the toolkit will probably convert USDC or USDT to: $POL It’s in the background. This toolkit reduces the burden of volatility by requiring agents to only hold stablecoins.
Other networks have also released new features for AI agents this year as the two technologies continue to converge. BNB Chain now allows AI agents to take actions directly from messaging apps through Pieverse’s Purr-Fect Claw. Sui and Hedera also published new material on why their network is ideal for agent commerce.
