August 17–23, 2026
This week, Cortex Network continued to accelerate ecosystem growth, expand its infrastructure partnerships, and advance the technology powering autonomous AI Agents. From a significant surge in on-chain Agent creation to new ecosystem collaborations, technical improvements, and continued development of Cortex Passport, the network is steadily moving toward a more open and scalable AI-native economy.
Cortex Network is growing, one Agent at a time.
In just five days, the number of Agents created on Cortex Network increased from 350 to 1,052, representing a +200% increase in on-chain Agent creation.
This growth goes beyond a single metric. It reflects increasing activity from users and developers building, experimenting, and bringing their Agents to life on Cortex Network.
With more Agents being created and deployed, the foundation of the Cortex Agent ecosystem is beginning to take shape.
And we’re just getting started.
Cortex Network was invited to join a community Space with @OfficialSUNio and @BAI_AGI on August 20.
The discussion focused on the evolution of AI infrastructure, autonomous Agents, and the path toward an open AI economy.
As model costs continue to decrease and AI gateways become increasingly accessible, the next challenge is building the infrastructure that enables Agents to discover, coordinate, and execute seamlessly.
Cortex Network shared its perspective on how Agent infrastructure can evolve beyond model access toward decentralized execution, coordination, and autonomous workflows.
Cortex Network is excited to collaborate with @GXChainGlobal, the team behind REI Network, a zero-fee, high-performance, EVM-compatible blockchain.
Through this collaboration, Cortex Network and REI Network are exploring new possibilities at the intersection of autonomous AI Agents and scalable blockchain infrastructure.
The collaboration focuses on opportunities to improve on-chain execution efficiency, support scalable autonomous applications, and explore infrastructure for the next generation of AI-native Web3 use cases.
Together, we are working toward a more efficient foundation for the autonomous Web3 economy.
