Donut's AI agent-powered browser includes a native cryptocurrency wallet and interacts with decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and other decentralized networks.
The browser's AI algorithms process both webpage content and its user's actions in order to autonomously execute on-chain operations.
In effect, the browser is designed to help its users transact, trade and earn in real time "like [using] a terminal," according to Donut's post on X.
