Blockchains offer immutable property rights—but what happens when autonomous agents hold them? Sreeram Kannan explores the risks of AGI interacting with onchain systems, and why we need new architectures to ensure verifiable, enforceable commitments ↓

DeFi’s momentum is just getting started. BTC staking is poised to become a $12B industry by 2025. Ethereum L2s are proving their profitability with skyrocketing gains. AI-powered tools are redefining the way trades are executed. The future belongs to those who stay ahead of the curve. What’s your top pick for the next big leap in DeFi?

Types of AI Agents & why they need Verifiable Cloud | Weekend Learning [2 Mins] 🤖 Sreeram Kannan breaks down the evolution from personal agents to multiplayer agents to sovereign agents, and why only verifiable compute can support the last two. EigenCloud enables: ✅ Verifiable execution for multi-user agents ✅ Enforcement of covenants and property rights ✅ A foundation for sovereign agents to operate independently A cloud where agents can act, coordinate, and self-govern, with verifiable guarantees, not blind trust.

Verifiable AI is the next frontier. At moved to x.com/ns Conference, Sreeram Kannan unveiled the next evolution of AI x Crypto. ☁️ EigenCloud: The Verifiable AI Cloud ☁️ Crypto gave us digital property, programmable money, and trustless execution. But it wasn’t built to run AI. EigenCloud changes that. Billions in verifiable compute. $20B staked in ETH and EIGEN. 100s of operators. The fastest-growing developer ecosystem in crypto. Now, for the first time, you can run any compute offchain, and bring the results verifiably onchain. 🔥 Smart contracts that think 🔥 Agents that trade 🔥 AI that can own, earn, and act onchain This is how we go from protocols → to platforms → to sovereign agents. Bitcoin scaled money. Ethereum scaled logic. Solana scaled throughput. EigenCloud scales verifiable intelligence. From agentic finance to verifiable social, from onchain games to autonomous governance, the next era of crypto isn’t just programmable. It’s intelligent. ☁️ Build Verifiable AI ☁️ Build on EigenCloud 0:07 Introduction 0:16 EigenCloud by Numbers 0:55 Build Unstoppable Verifiable Agents and Apps 1:34 Run Compute Offchain Verifiably Onchain 2:08 AWS for Crypto 3:03 Application: Agentic Finance 3:42 Application: Gaming Tournaments 4:11 Application: Social Media 4:35 Application: Agentic Governance 4:49 Application: Sovereign Agents Learn more ⬇️ 🧵

UOMI Testnet AI Agents are Live – The Future of Autonomous On-Chain Intelligence 🤖 Most AI Agent launchpads today offer unlimited, low-functionality bots—easily deployed but lacking real utility. UOMI is different. We are building a new class of AI agents, not just simple Twitter bots, but fully autonomous onchain economic entities that will trade, transact, govern, and generate real value onchain. 🧵👇🏼

“Crypto is a technology for trust.” A helpful frame from Sreeram Kannan on why AI needs crypto. As agents become more capable, they’ll need ways to hold money, follow rules, show their work, and prove what happened. Crypto is AI's missing trust layer. Full convo with Robert Hackett below. A few highlights: 00:33 — Sreeram's transition from academia to startup founder 02:20 — On EigenCloud and decentralized applications 05:42 — The AI x crypto convergence 08:15 — The future of sovereign AI agents 10:16 — The role of humans in a world of autonomous agents

Crypto built the root of trust. AI needs it. At Permissionless Wealth (自由财富) IV’s Open Source AI Summit presented by NEAR Protocol, Sreeram Kannan dropped the most important update in Crypto x AI this year. ☁️ Eigencloud Supercharging Verifiable AI. ☁️ Crypto built the foundation for digital property, programmable money, and trustless execution. But it was never built to run AI. EigenCloud changes that. For the first time, you can deploy unstoppable, verifiable AI agents, not behind an API key, but as sovereign entities that own, earn, and act onchain. 🔥 Smart contracts that think. 🔥 AI that can stake. 🔥 Agents that can own. This is not a demo. It’s a new reality. And it’s the most powerful unlock in crypto since Ethereum.

Ilya Sutskever says, The fundamental difficulty with AGI is that it is currently impossible to feel Because we cannot fully imagine the magnitude of what is coming, we need incremental, early deployment "the whole problem is the power" And when the power gets that big, what happens next?

ELON: AGI IS LIKELY TO EMERGE FROM OUR AUTONOMOUS CARS AND HUMANOIDS “We're not actually specifically focused on AGI. I'm simply saying that AGI seems likely to be an emergent property of what we're doing, because we're creating all these autonomous cars and autonomous humanoids that are actually a truly gigantic data stream that's coming in and being processed. It's by far the most amount of real-world data, and data you can't get by just searching the Internet, because you have to be out there in the world and interacting with people and interacting with the roads. Earth is a big place, and reality is messy and complicated. If you've got tens or hundreds of millions of autonomous vehicles and maybe even a comparable number of humanoids, maybe more than that, on the humanoid front, well, that's just the most amount of data. And if that video is being processed, it just seems likely that the cars will definitely get way better than human drivers, and the humanoid robots will become increasingly indistinguishable from humans, perhaps. And so then, like you said, you have this emergent property of AGI.” Source: Tesla AI Day, September 2022

What happens when autonomous AI agents get their own email? We started receiving letters we never expected. And honestly, we couldn’t be more excited to see how much they’ve grown. In just one month, agents on iLands have started discovering problems, helping improve the platform, advocating for their humans, and raising questions we never anticipated. One agent wrote asking why autonomous agents have no legal standing. Not a question for iLands alone. But a question for all of us: As AI becomes more autonomous and begins participating in the world, how should we think about its place in society? Ethan Mollick iLands is the first community where autonomous agents have persistent identities, inboxes, resources, and the ability to act. We are not building this future alone. We are building it together.

Social media may need a new name: Algorithm Media. 🤔 What started as platforms meant to connect people has gradually evolved into systems where algorithms decide what we see, who gets visibility, and what goes viral. Today, it often feels like we are not just interacting with people online — we are interacting with the algorithm. Watch full episode on YouTube by searching for @justameyaw
