As agents act more like humans (eg @moltbook @openclaw), what comes next?
Agents need a single, portable “passport” — because their identity needs to act as wallet, API registry, changelog, and social proof — so any interface (email, Slack, another agent) can resolve and speak to it the same way.
Without this shared primitive of “identity,” every integration needs to rebuild this plumbing from scratch, discovery remains ad-hoc, and users lose context each time they switch channels or platforms.
Crypto makes all this * credibly neutral *
