AI Agents Need Intent-Based Blockchain Infrastructure
Web3 values of decentralization, sovereignty, verifiability, and resilience are threatened by the rise of AI agents. Current AI agents, based on black box large-language models, pose security risks and do not align with Web3 principles. They operate on centralized infrastructure, compromising user privacy and data sovereignty. Intent-centric systems can empower users by providing control over transactions and ensuring privacy. These systems enable decentralized marketplaces for agents, preventing monopolies and promoting competition. Intent-based infrastructure allows for agent communication and complex operations, enhancing user experience while maintaining core Web3 values. Adoption of intents is crucial for integrating AI into DeFi, ensuring that AI serves users rather than replicating Web2 power dynamics.
