Marketing Automation Through Decentralized AI Agents: A Blockchain-Based Paradigm Shift

Abstract

Recent advances in decentralized AI agents and blockchain technology offer transformative solutions to challenges in traditional marketing automation, such as limited transparency, restricted adaptability, and incomplete automation. In response, this paper introduces the Decentralized AI-Agent Marketing Automation (DAMA) Framework, which leverages AIdriven decision-making and blockchain infrastructure in a Web3 environment to foster transparency, adaptability, and autonomy in marketing processes. The framework is built on four interdependent layers (1) strategic planning and goal definition, (2) agent configuration and capability mapping, (3) automation workflow design, and (4) continuous learning and optimization-that, together, create a fully autonomous marketing system deployable on Web3 operating systems like Eliza. To illustrate its practical application, we present a social media listening use case, demonstrating how smart contracts and AI agents can transform conventional workflows. Finally, we discuss key implementation challenges, regulatory considerations, and future research directions needed to refine decentralized AI-driven marketing. By establishing a foundation for a blockchain-enabled, autonomous marketing ecosystem, this paper provides a framework on reimaging how brands can engage with their audiences in a decentralized digital economy.
