Messari, a blockchain research firm, has published coverage of ChatAndBuild, offering an in-depth examination of a protocol transforming digital asset categories and AI creation. The report positions ChatAndBuild as an enterprise advancing artificial intelligence from a service model into an auditable and tradeable asset class. The backbone of this shift is its Non-Fungible Agent (NFA) ecosystem, operating under the BAP-578 standard on the BNB Chain, unlocking new avenues for minting, owning, and verifying intelligent agents.
"Non-Fungible Agents and the BAP-578 standard represent a thoughtful step forward for crypto experimentation, adding new layers of utility and verifiability to NFTs," states Gunkan, Research Analyst from Messari.
ChatAndBuild’s user adoption rates underline a rapid expansion. Analysis highlights that since its public launch earlier this year, the project has registered over 150,000 users globally. This swift traction, building on partnerships with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Cloud, and educational institutions such as the University of Oxford, points to broad institutional and community interest.
"Every person with an idea deserves the tools to build, customize, and own their vision without technical barriers," says Christel Buchanan, founder and CEO.
From No-Code Builder to Onchain Intelligence
Messari’s analysts detail how ChatAndBuild’s platform simplifies software development by allowing users to describe ideas in natural language, which are then converted into functioning applications and digital tools through AI-driven code generation. The protocol’s mobile-first design and support for over 40 languages set it apart, especially for regions lacking widespread technical training and infrastructure. More than 100 applications are produced daily on ChatAndBuild’s platform, with reported user engagement averaging four hours per day.
Non-Fungible Agents elevate digital interactivity beyond static asset frameworks. Unlike traditional non-fungible tokens - primarily limited to digital art or collectibles—NFAs in ChatAndBuild’s system operate as learning, customizable agents. Each NFA is minted with a Proof-of-Prompt (PoP), creating an immutable and privacy-protective record of training, configuration, and use. This transforms asset identity and history, making intelligence a feature that can be audited and transferred.
"If intelligence can be verified and transferred, creativity itself becomes a sharable form of value," Buchanan notes.
Reinventing Trust and Cross-Chain Utility
Messari’s report is unambiguous on the technical merits of the BAP-578 standard. The protocol extends widely used ERC-721 interfaces for interoperability, introducing new audit layers, dual-path deployment options, and gas optimization that cuts contract costs by up to 90% compared to legacy token operations. Agent KYC metadata has been embedded, enabling creators and enterprises to attach identity and compliance tags, further aligning the platform with enterprise and regulatory demands.
ChatAndBuild’s architecture supports persistent agent identity across various blockchains, including planned integrations with Solana and Ethereum. The platform’s cross-sector ecosystem leverages educational partnerships, government collaborations, and builder communities. Codechella hackathons, hosted at universities from Singapore to the UK, highlight grassroots adoption and skill development. The Messari analysis suggests that regulated auditing, verifiable learning histories, and gas-efficient transactions will likely shape future enterprise deployments in ways previously unattainable.
Data-Driven Outlook and Strategic Roadmap
The Messari assessment outlines ChatAndBuild’s phased growth strategy: a short-term focus on user onboarding and language expansion; medium-term goals of cross-chain agent portability and new cognitive derivatives instruments; and long-term ambitions aimed at institutional adoption. The upcoming NFA Digits auction, where 100,999 unique intelligent agents will be introduced, demonstrates a commitment to building foundational marketplaces. Minting fees, set at 0.01 BNB per agent, create a projected revenue model that is transparent and scalable.
Community and developer incentives, including staking rewards and open developer grant programs, reinforce active participation. The report concludes that ChatAndBuild’s secure, layered circuit breaker architecture and permissioned vaults respond to emerging security needs for programmable, learning digital assets.
"Agent ownership will become a fundamental layer for creative and technical agency," Buchanan observes. This forecast, coupled with high engagement metrics and enterprise collaborations, sets actionable benchmarks for adoption and governance.
NFT Evolution and the Agent Economy
Reimagining non-fungible tokens as continuously learning, customizable agents, ChatAndBuild merges the AI, blockchain, and no-code movements into a new asset economy. Its use of cryptographically-anchored proof, persistent cross-chain identity, and regulatory metadata builds credibility among institutional and community participants. The Messari report characterizes ChatAndBuild’s agent economy as a case study in shifting asset value from speculative digital collectibles to measurable, active intelligence.
If these trends persist, platforms such as ChatAndBuild may play a central role in establishing verifiable standards for AI ownership and creative equity. The initiative's ability to connect regulated enterprise uses, grassroots education, and decentralized asset growth will be a focal point for analysts in coming quarters.
