AI agents will increasingly act on our behalf. The question is: how do we make that safe, private, and trusted? Midnight is the privacy and control layer that makes it possible.

@IOHK_Charles In the near future most of our payments, it just makes more sense. Privacy is a very important since these agents will be privy to sensitive personal info.

@IOHK_Charles the honest answer is that most people don't even know what they want to trust with their data yet, let alone how to ensure that trust isn't misplaced midnight sounds like a necessary step towards figuring this out

@IOHK_Charles I’m a fan of being cautious and thinking about precautions early when it comes to AI

Grateful to Squawk Box Andrew Ross Sorkin for the conversation in New York last week. Two things I keep coming back to: On building. Opening our New York hub and bringing John Andrews on board is about one thing — assembling the best people for the next decade. Capital is a means. A great company is the goal. On hardware. The economy of autonomous AI agents is arriving fast. They will increasingly make decisions—and access private information—on our behalf. When they do, one thing becomes critical: control. We must control our keys. Consent must be human-verifiable, secured by hardware at the core. As AI agents begin to hold and move value autonomously, the question isn’t which cloud they run on. The question is: where is the private key, and who controls the device that holds it? Hardware-anchored security is shifting from a “nice to have” to the invisible infrastructure of the digital world. That’s the Revenge of the Atoms.

Agents are starting to act on our behalf. Each action raises the same question: what did it do, and why? That takes a record no one can rewrite after the fact. Permanent, global, and cheap enough to write to constantly. On Aptos, it is. Aptos Labs' avery.apt 🇺🇸 with DevNTell

The future of AI Agents needs #ICP AI agents are starting to act on our behalf: - making deals - sending messages - handling sensitive data But there is no trust layer telling you who or what you're actually dealing with ❌ zCloak Network is building exactly that: the trust, identity and privacy infrastructure for the AI-native economy, and they built it on top of Internet Computer Protocol In this podcast I sit down with Xiao Zhang (0xFrancis), founder of to break down what they're building, why they chose ICP over every other blockchain, and what the world looks like when AI agents can finally be trusted.

Co-director Daron Acemoglu lays out two possible futures for agentic AI: autonomous AI agents that act on behalf of humans, or AI advisors that support human decision-makers. Which path we take will have far-reaching implications for human agency, inequality, and the labor market.

Vitalik Buterin on Ethereum as the economic layer for AI “The blockchain to me is the most natural way to allow applications and cooperation between many different people in the long term without needing to agree on who to trust. The other thing is also the economic layer. This is the layer where blockchains can support AIs.” Vitalik believes Ethereum will play a large role in the future of decentralized AI: “If you have more decentralized AI, that means you have different AIs (agents, programs) that are controlled by different people and need to interact with each other. And for that interaction to be possible, you need to have an economic layer. Either cooperation is based on economic incentives and economic rules. Or it’s based on central control. It’s usually one of the two, and if we can set up the economic system, that makes more decentralized interaction between AIs possible.” Source: OKX (Apr 2026) Read our full article on why AI agents will need Ethereum for low-risk DeFi below👇

Sen. Bernie Sanders: AI will almost certainly be the most transformational technology in the history of the world. It is already bringing unimaginable changes to our economy, our democracy and political system, to the health of our children, to our environment, and to how we educate and raise our kids. The question is, who will own and control the future? Who will benefit from AI and who will be hurt by it? Will AI be used to make life better for working families?

🟣 Moca Chain mainnet is live. The chain built for privacy-preserving identity is here. With Moca Chain mainnet, we have launched foundational infrastructure for the availability of identity data and the auditability of identity states, while keeping users in control of their data. This matters as AI agents increasingly act on behalf of people.
