It's a wrap at @EthereumDenver, where no topic consumed more oxygen than AI agents. The pitch was basically this: AI makes software act. Blockchain makes software accountable. But if autonomous software is going to trade, pay, and manage RWAs 24/7, the EVM needs way more bandwidth. As @jayendra_jog pointed out, no existing blockchain can even support Nasdaq's 20k tps, which accounts for about 10% of global securities trading. On the conference's main stage, he talked Sei Giga and EVM scaling with @tkstanczak and @ben_chain. At @tectonicxyz's quantum summit, @jayendra_jog spoke to how Shor impacts ECDSA signatures and solutions for the problems of migration. For the AI summit, product architect @paulgebheim presented on the problem set for an agentic economy. As it turns out, those problems look a lot like Byzantine faults. Founding engineer @KartikB101 focused on the practical aspects of agentic payments: overcoming card network limitations with stablecoins. Why the urgency around agentic AI this year? As @programmer said, if blockchain doesn't establish open standards like x402, then closed standards are all we'll get. And @thatgerald, with SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce, pushed the next logical question—how fast can capital markets go onchain, and who’s liable when agents (inevitably) hallucinate?
