AI makes software autonomous, Crypto makes autonomy trustworthy.

Written by: Blockchain Knight

For AI Agents to truly become a "widely deployable autonomous software," there are two core capabilities: composability + verifiability.

These two points are precisely what traditional Web2 cannot provide, but cryptocurrency systems inherently possess.

1. AI needs composability, and composability must be built on verifiability

The future of AI Agents is not about single models, but rather: automatically calling other services; composing other Agents; automatically writing code; automatically testing; automatically executing decisions (including actions involving funds), which is called agent composability.

The problem arises: if one Agent calls another Agent, but you cannot verify that the other party executed as expected, then the entire automation ecosystem cannot close the loop.

Web2's infrastructure (API + SaaS) cannot provide such strong verifiability because: APIs are black boxes; data can be tampered with; execution results cannot be proven; permissions rely on centralized audits; money cannot be settled automatically.

In other words: Web2 Agents cannot fully trust another Web2 Agent. Therefore, automation stops at the "demo level."

2. Cryptocurrency provides the "verifiable foundational layer" that AI lacks

Crypto provides three major capabilities needed for the future ecosystem of AI:

① Verifiable execution

Smart contracts are transparent and provable. ZK proofs allow complex off-chain executions to be verified. AI can confirm "the other party indeed did as I said."

② Verifiable identity

Decentralized identity DID/Key, Agent code itself can be signed.

Solving: who did it, whether it is trustworthy, whether it has been tampered with.

③ Verifiable value transfer

Smart contracts support: automatic deductions, automatic payments, multi-party collaborative profit sharing, collateral and penalties, margin mechanisms.

This allows AI to manage and allocate funds directly without relying on institutions. This is something Web2 cannot achieve.

3. AI programming requires "self-testing," and when it involves funds, it needs "automatically verifiable" capabilities

Anthropic's recent acquisition of Bun is a signal:

AI is about to upgrade from "automatically writing code" to a complete cycle of "automatic writing → automatic testing → automatic running → automatic fixing."

Once AI runs code automatically and lets the code directly impact the real world, such as: executing transactions, managing budgets, paying API fees, participating in economic activities, it must have a cryptocurrency-based verifiable financial security system.

Otherwise, AI is just a toy and cannot engage in the real economy.

Crypto allows AI to:

• Automatically fine for "execution errors";
• Automatically reward for "good contributions";
• Automatically settle during multi-Agent collaborations;
• Automatically settle without human trust.

This is essential for the future AI Agent economy.

4. Summarized in one sentence

AI makes software autonomous; Crypto makes autonomy trustworthy. Without the verifiability of cryptocurrency, AI Agents cannot operate on a large scale in the real economy.
