A recent DappRadar report highlights the rapid growth of artificial intelligence activity within the blockchain industry. Since January 2025, this segment has seen an 86% increase, indicating significant changes in user interaction.
Increase in Popularity of AI DApps
AI DApps currently attract around 4.5 million daily unique active wallets. The market share of AI DApps has increased from 9% at the beginning of 2025 to 19%, placing them second behind blockchain gaming at 20% market share. DappRadar analyst Sara Gherghelas noted that the spike in AI activity represents a 'structural change' in how users engage with decentralized applications.
Investments in AI Agents
In 2025, AI agent initiatives have secured $1.39 billion in funding, marking a 9.4% increase from 2024 figures. Although this funding is smaller compared to investments in companies like OpenAI, it is starting to rival funding in other Web3 verticals such as blockchain gaming. Deep investments illustrate growing confidence in AI agents reshaping user interactions with protocols and automating financial strategies.
Global Distribution of AI DApps
DappRadar data shows that 26% of AI DApp users are in Europe, with Asia accounting for 22% of the user base, and North America trailing at 15.8%. The largest share (33%) comes from unspecified regions, likely due to VPN usage and anonymous browsing.
The data on the growth of artificial intelligence activity on blockchain emphasizes the current trend of enhancing the role of AI in decentralized systems. This opens new horizons for further technological development and its integration across various sectors.
