Khorus Partners with SKALE to Bring Their Agent Launchpad to SKALE on Base

The rise of AI agents marks a pivotal turning point in how we interact with technology. From autonomous assistants that handle daily tasks to on-chain agents executing complex transactions and operations, AI agents are no longer science fiction but rather the next frontier of scalable computation. As this shift accelerates, the need for infrastructure that can support these agents with a private, low cost, and high performance execution environment becomes critical.

ERC-8004 Goes Gas-Free: Khorus Launches on SKALE’s New Base-Integrated Chain

Enter Khorus, a platform that empowers developers to build, deploy, and tokenize on-chain agents using the ERC-8004 standard. And today, SKALE is pleased to announce that Khorus is officially partnering with SKALE to launch on the new SKALE on Base chain, a cutting-edge initiative combining SKALE's private, gas free execution with the liquidity and user access of the Base L2 ecosystem. This partnership marks a major milestone in the ever-evolving A2A (Agent-to-Agent) space.

Khorus: Building the A2A Ecosystem

Khorus is an infrastructure layer designed specifically for the AI agent economy. At its core, Khorus allows developers to build tokenized autonomous agents using ERC-8004, and monetize them via integrated x402 payment rails. Think of it as a blend of Virtuals and Cursor, but purpose-built for on-chain agents and optimized for the next generation of Web3 applications.

This platform caters directly to developers, giving them the power to deploy production-grade agent apps that can operate autonomously, interact with smart contracts, and scale across networks. Whether you're building intelligent trading bots, protocol runners, or task-executing dApps, Khorus is the framework designed to help you do it at scale.

Why SKALE? Why Now?

To scale AI agents on-chain, you need a chain that removes some of the biggest friction points in Web3: privacy and gas fees.

SKALE provides the private, gas, free, and high performance execution environment that agent-based systems need to scale:

• Privacy: SKALE’s BITE Protocol encrypts onchain actions, so AI agents can execute  without their activity, strategy, or balances being broadcast to the world.
• Zero Gas Fees:A credits-based cost model replaces per-transaction gas, making high-frequency interactions and long-running agent loops economical.
• Instant Finality & Scalable Throughput: SKALE’s high throughput and fast confirmations let agents place orders, coordinate actions, and respond to signals with tight feedback loops.
• ERC-8004 Compatibility: On SKALE agents can interact and update trust data in real time without exposing sensitive information

By launching on SKALE on Base, Khorus gets the best of both worlds: access to Base’s L2 ecosystem and liquidity, while maintaining the private, gas free, ultra-fast infrastructure of SKALE. It’s the perfect match for high-frequency agent interactions and continuous task execution.

Momentum Is Building

Khorus is already seeing traction, with over 4,500 beta users and accounting for ≈10% of all ERC-8004 agents in circulation. As more developers look to harness the power of autonomous on-chain computation, the combination of Khorus and SKALE on Base provides a clear path forward.

A Message from the Team

“Khorus is building an ecosystem where developers can deploy on-chain agents with real utility. Launching on SKALE gives our builders a fast, gas-free environment to ship production-grade A2A applications. It’s the ideal foundation to scale ERC-8004 adoption.”
— Mehmet Unluturk, Founder of Khorus

What’s Next?

The SKALE ecosystem continues to expand with projects that are building the future and Khorus represents a new class of dApp, one where agents run the logic, smart contracts coordinate tasks, and developers build seamless user experiences powered by autonomous backend logic.

Together, SKALE and Khorus are laying the foundation for a private, AI-native on-chain future.
