Stop treating CEOs of major AI companies as thought leaders.
A thought leader's value is independent thinking. Even if they mean well, the thinking of @elonmusk, @sama, @DarioAmodei et al is inherently bound to their company's interests (and own egos).
Think for yourself.
I cannot find a gap this wide anywhere else in DeFi.
No major DEX token carries more volume per dollar of market cap than @EkuboProtocol and it's not even close.
Fixed supply, fully circulating since day one. Nothing is scheduled to unlock, for anyone, ever.
Even @Delphi_Ventures had to buy on the open market when they made their Ekubo investment.
Every major industry player is aligned on the idea that AI agents are the next major consumer category.
This guide explains the easiest way to get your business ready: findable and payable by an agent, in a few simple steps.
No code required.
At House of ZK I met with dozens of founders.
Nearly all of them had the same problem. They'd built something genuinely good, but they had little idea how to get anyone to notice it - let alone use it.
Extrapolate that across the hundreds of thousands (maybe millions?) of products now being shipped with AI.
Very few of them will make it. Those that do will be those that solved distribution.
Since deploying on Ethereum around 17 months ago, @EkuboProtocol has settled over $52 billion in volume.
Almost all of that came from routing by machines looking for the optimal path. Aggregators and bots pick venues based purely on best execution, and they keep choosing it: last month $837 million moved through just $4.7 million of Ethereum TVL.
AI agents will pick venues the same way.
Ekubo's core dev (former @Uniswap chief engineer @sendmoodz) has spent his recent months building for them: deploying a first-party MCP server and a specialized agent wallet.

If crypto were priced on tech fundamentals, Starknet would be a top 10 asset.
STARKs with no trusted setup. Hash-based, so plausibly post-quantum. Cairo designed for proving from the ground up. Native account abstraction years before anyone else cared. @EliBenSasson literally invented the proof system.
Markets price distribution, liquidity and attention. Nobody prices elegance. The best cryptography in crypto lost to duller tech with better go-to-market.
