Where AI agents and decentralised tech meet

It's been fascinating to watch how decentralised tech continues to evolve. A lot of the real innovation gets buried beneath the noise of price speculation.

AI has taken some of the attention away from crypto, but as AI agents become more capable, I can easily see the two converging.

Stablecoins and decentralised payment rails can give AI agents direct access to programmable payments and microtransactions. See x402.

While most people are just looking at price charts, behind the scenes, decentralisation enthusiasts are still hard at work building toward the original vision.

Ethereum has been evolving into something more than just a blockchain. It's moving toward becoming a scalable cryptographic world computer: a global layer where computation can happen anywhere, yet Ethereum can still verify the results and enforce the rules, while remaining trustless, permissionless, censorship-resistant and increasingly privacy-preserving.

Vitalik's The cryptographic world computer is worth a read if you're into this space.
