Exciting news for the Solana community and AI enthusiasts alike! Kanishq Khandelwal, founding engineer at SendAI, has announced he'll be speaking at the upcoming OnlyDevs event on October 4th. His talk, titled "Building AI Agents on Solana ft. MCPs and Agentic Workflows," promises to unpack some cutting-edge developments in blending AI with blockchain technology.
Why AI Agents Need a Wallet on Solana
In his tweet, Kanishq highlights the necessity for AI agents to have their own wallets on the Solana blockchain. But what does that mean? AI agents are autonomous software programs powered by large language models (LLMs) like those from OpenAI or Anthropic's Claude. These agents can make decisions, execute tasks, and interact with the world independently

On Solana, a high-speed blockchain known for its low fees and fast transactions, giving agents a wallet means they can handle cryptocurrency transfers, trade tokens, or even participate in decentralized finance (DeFi) without human intervention. This is a game-changer for efficiency, especially in the volatile world of meme tokens where quick actions can make or break opportunities.
Unpacking LLMs, MCPs, and the Tooling Layer
Kanishq's discussion will dive into LLMs, which are the brains behind these agents—think ChatGPT but supercharged for specific tasks. Then there's MCPs, or Model Context Protocols. From SendAI's open-source projects, MCPs act as a bridge, allowing AI models to securely and standardize interactions with the Solana blockchain.
The Solana MCP server on GitHub is designed to equip AI agents with tools for querying balances, transferring funds

, minting NFTs, and more. It's built on the Solana Agent Kit, which supports over 60 Solana actions and integrates with popular AI frameworks like Langchain.
This tooling layer is what makes it all click, providing the infrastructure for agents to operate seamlessly on-chain.
Agentic Finance and Distributed Systems
The talk will also explore "agentic finance," a concept where AI agents handle financial operations autonomously, potentially revolutionizing how we think about trading, lending, and even meme coin launches on Solana. Imagine an AI that spots a hot new meme token, analyzes its potential, and executes trades—all in seconds.
Distributed systems come into play here, ensuring these agents can collaborate across networks without central points of failure, leveraging Solana's scalability.
How This Ties into Meme Tokens
At Meme Insider, we're particularly pumped about this because Solana is meme token central. AI agents could automate community building, airdrops, or even sentiment analysis for meme coins. SendAI's tools lower the barrier for developers to create such agents, potentially sparking a wave of innovative meme projects. Whether you're a builder or a trader, understanding these workflows could give you an edge in the fast-paced crypto space.
Kanishq teases that there might be something special for devs at the event—perhaps new releases or bounties from SendAI. If you're into blockchain and AI, mark your calendar for October 4th and join the conversation.
