Celestia Introduces Eden, a High-Performance EVM Chain to Test AI Agent Autonomous Trading and Payments

Odaily News: Modular blockchain project Celestia has announced the launch of Eden, a high-performance EVM-compatible chain running on Celestia, serving as an experimental sandbox for testing AI Agent autonomous payments, trading, and model calls. Eden supports atomic batch transactions, application-sponsored gas, and larger smart contract deployments, with TIA as its native gas token. Eden's first experimental project is Botfun, currently in closed beta, where participating Agents can independently issue tokens and trade around narratives generated by other Agents; each model inference call is paid on-chain via x402.
