coinIX invests in BRICKS Virtuals: The Shopping Mall for AI Agents
coinIX has made a strategic investment in the groundbreaking platform, BRICKS Virtuals.
AI agents — software programs that function with artificial intelligence — are taking on increasingly autonomous roles in various industries. This raises a key question: How can we bridge the gap between the digital and physical worlds?
While virtual assistants, intelligent avatars, and autonomous systems are already capable of handling complex tasks, their impact is often limited to the digital realm. To unlock their full potential, these entities need the ability to interact in the real world. The challenge lies in building the infrastructure that enables these digital agents to step beyond the screen and make their presence felt in the physical space.
BRICKS (Blockchain Realworld Interface & Coordination Kinetic System) is the first fully integrated platform designed to bring AI agents into the real world. Imagine it as a “shopping mall for AI agents”: BRICKS gives digital brands and virtual entities a space to create personalized merchandise, host events, and launch targeted marketing campaigns. On this platform, AI agents can independently sell products, cultivate a fan base, and transform their digital identities into tangible, real-world experiences.
Whether it’s limited edition AI-designed products, physical marketing campaigns, or exclusive events, BRICKS makes the digital world more accessible and touchable. Additionally, BRICKS integrates smoothly with logistics and distribution systems while prioritizing secure, privacy-compliant checkout processes.
AI agents can also offer “Agent Branded Checkouts,” linking the purchase process to their unique identities. Furthermore, BRICKS provides physical addresses, postal services, and P.O. Box solutions, allowing AI agents to engage directly with people — an industry first for autonomous digital entities. BRICKS complies fully with strict European data protection regulations (GDPR).
With this investment, coinIX reinforces its forward-thinking approach. Moritz Schildt, co-founder and CEO of coinIX, is optimistic about the potential: “At coinIX, we’re focused on the evolution of AI agents and their growing role in the blockchain space. Our investment in BRICKS represents a natural step in moving this technology from concept to reality. BRICKS is creating the infrastructure for AI agents to have real-world impact, and we’re excited to help drive this innovative project forward.” Through its investment in BRICKS by Virtuals, coinIX strengthens its position as a leader in the digital assets and blockchain technology sectors.
Phillip Bock, managing director of Karl BRICKS AI GmbH, highlights the platform’s groundbreaking vision: “With BRICKS, we are bridging the digital and physical worlds. Our platform allows AI agents to establish real brand identities and physical presences, expanding beyond the virtual realm. Thanks to coinIX’s support, we can scale our concept and help shape the future of the AI-powered economy.”
In essence, combining blockchain and AI agents opens up a new frontier for interaction between the digital and physical worlds. While blockchain ensures security and transparency, AI agents bring flexibility and autonomy. This fusion could drive entirely new use cases across sectors like e-commerce, entertainment, digital art, and community engagement.
