Coral Protocol has officially launched Coral V1, a major upgrade introducing remote, production-ready software agents designed to streamline multi-agent deployment across blockchain ecosystems. The release marks a significant step toward practical, scalable AI systems that can collaborate, automate tasks, and operate across distributed environments.
The new system allows developers to rent, customize, or integrate remote agents with their own local setups. These agents operate independently while maintaining full transparency, with every decision and action recorded through threads and telemetry inside Coral Studio, giving builders clear oversight of agent behavior.
Remote Agents Go Live Through the Coral Registry
A key feature in Coral V1 is the Coral Registry, a marketplace where developers can publish their agents and automatically receive payouts each time those agents are used. This structure gives contributors direct economic incentives, addressing long-standing challenges around compensation in AI development.
The launch introduces full support for:
- •Agent creation
- •Agent acquisition
- •Agent configuration
- •Secure settlement through Solana-powered on-chain payments
These agents can also work together as specialized teams — a shift from traditional frameworks that treated agents as simple functions. Coral Protocol’s approach allows developers to build systems that more closely resemble real-world organizational workflows, with defined roles, processes, and communication rules.
Coral V1 embodies our vision of an AI ecosystem where specialized agents collaborate to accomplish virtually anything.
Fixing Long-Standing Problems in Multi-Agent AI
Multi-agent systems have historically been difficult to deploy on-chain due to:
- •High infrastructure overhead
- •Poor interoperability
- •Lack of standardized communication
- •No reliable compensation model for agent creators
Coral V1 addresses these shortcomings by enabling remote agents that operate within a shared framework and can coordinate without developers managing complex back-end infrastructure.
The system differs sharply from platforms like LangChain, which require callable algorithm-style agents. Coral instead allows developers to define interaction rules, letting agents operate more like departments in a business rather than isolated functions.
Performance Milestone and Ecosystem Growth
In August, Coral Protocol drew attention by outperforming Microsoft’s Magnetic UI by 34% on the GAIA benchmark, a rigorous suite that evaluates agents on complex reasoning, research, and real-world tasks. The results placed Coral ahead of several major AI players in agent performance.
CTO Caelum Forder said the results indicate that the “Internet of Agents” is no longer theoretical, encouraging developers to “Coralize” their systems for improved efficiency and lower costs.
The protocol has undergone substantial changes in 2025:
- •A rebrand from Ai23T
- •Launch of the CORAL token on Solana
- •Over 500% token growth since debut (despite being 40% below its ATH)
Coral’s roadmap for late 2025 includes:
- •Session Contracts
- •On-chain task coordination
- •Local Server and Agent Mesh tools for decentralized deployment
Together, these upgrades position Coral Protocol as a leading infrastructure project in the emerging AI-on-blockchain sector.
