Autonomous AI agents generate blockchain RPC traffic very differently from wallets and traditional bots, creating bursty workloads, cache misses, malformed requests, and unpredictable costs. This article examines why existing JSON-RPC infrastructure struggles, explores MCP-based structured access, and outlines architectural changes—including batching, intent-aware throttling, and richer API metadata—to make blockchain infrastructure scalable for the agentic era.
