Andy asked why wouldn't AI agents create their own currency? An AI-generated unit of account all the LLMs agree on?
@ilblackdragon, Co-Founder of @NEARProtocol:
"They can create tokens. But agents need reputation and reputation needs history. You can't manufacture that."
"You still need to pay for compute. That maps to energy. Those economic pieces need to map into something people value. Existing infrastructure already has ins and outs into the real world. That matters."
Who powers secure AI agents, confidential transactions, and intent-based execution at scale?
Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) and NEAR Co-Founder Illia Polosukhin (@ilblackdragon) just laid out how the privacy revolution runs on NEAR. 👇
Confidential payments were the headline last week.
What most missed:
Confidential Swaps have been live on https://t.co/YBUSFVdjxE since March 31 and nearly half of all swap volume is already confidential.
Privacy is quickly becoming the default UX.
🚨LATEST: ALIBABA JOINS $THETA NETWORK VALIDATOR SUITE
According to a new announcement, @alibaba_cloud (through its Web3 partner @CloudicianTech) has joined the @Theta_Network ecosystem.
According to the post, it is the newest addition to Theta Network's growing suite of Enterprise Validator Node operators.
🚀 Big models, now available on demand on @Theta_Network EdgeCloud!
We’ve launched MiniMax-M2.5 (230B) and gpt-oss-120b on Theta EdgeCloud as on-demand APIs. This give developers instant access to massive frontier LLMs without managing infrastructure. These aren’t small LLMs — they’re hundreds of billions of parameters, built for serious reasoning, coding, and agentic workloads.

We happy to be contributing to the @Theta_Network.
Running validators feels like a natural extension of what we already do every day, operate critical infrastructure with reliability and security as the baseline.

La Directora de @Teleton se acaba de despachar una frase que seguro generará más de un comentario:
“En Teletón no tenemos listas de espera”
Es interesante como un privado puede lograr un nivel de eficiencia tal, solo con aportes voluntarios…
Aló Estado?
