Grindery Unveils Aventino for AI Financial Autonomy

The team behind the popular Telegram wallet Grindery has unveiled a new infrastructure designed to support AI agents, named Aventino. This permissionless payments layer is aimed at enabling financial autonomy for AI agents, allowing them to operate independently, own wallets, make payments, interact with blockchain protocols, and establish their own tokenized communities across various platforms.

Aventino leverages the Ethereum account abstraction protocol ERC4337, providing developers with the tools to build AI agents on any large language model (LLM), use any framework, and distribute them on any client or device. These agents can pay and receive payments, interact with protocols, and issue their own tokens, facilitating the creation of tokenized agents and new forms of governance and growth.

Grindery's CEO and co-founder, Tim Delhaes, emphasized the importance of financial autonomy for AI, stating that Aventino empowers developers to build platform-agnostic agents that can transact, govern, and evolve independently. He compared this new layer of agentic AI to the way mobile apps created a layer between users and the internet, powered by crypto.

Grindery's journey began in 2022 when it was part of Binance Labs’ incubation program, initially building a self-custodial crypto wallet that attracted 3.5 million users. The success of this wallet led Grindery to expand its infrastructure to empower AI agents as autonomous economic actors.

Aventino's core capabilities include self-custodial wallets for AI agents, a creator-centric stack for publishing on various platforms, agent tokenization and monetization, and turnkey monetization options. These features enable developers to build fully autonomous, highly customized AI agents that are interoperable, decentralized, and monetizable without being locked into closed ecosystems.

Last month, Grindery launched its universal gas token, GX, which is now available on major centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges. The launch of Aventino extends the utility of the GX token, making it essential for agent-to-agent transactions, deploying new agents, and tokenizing them via bonding curves. This provides access and incubation mechanisms for the next generation of AI builders.

Grindery is actively seeking partnerships with LLM platforms, messaging clients and protocols, wallet providers, no- and low-code platforms, and blockchain protocols with AI ambitions. The company is onboarding developers from AI, crypto, and domain-specific fields and has launched an idea forum to crowd-source ideas and requests for customized AI agents from the community.

The next 4–8 weeks will be a pivotal phase as Grindery accelerates the development of Aventino, transitioning from private to public beta. Users can visit Grindery.com or follow the company on X for updates and to contribute ideas or build on Aventino.

Grindery is backed by Yzi Labs (formerly Binance Labs) and is powered by the GX token. The company aims to enable secure, interoperable transactions between web3-native AI agents across any chain or framework, laying the foundation for a decentralized, agentic AI future.
