🤖 AI x Crypto Crossovers As AI reshapes how we access information, build products, and interact online, the economics of the internet are rapidly changing. The key question is whether this future will be open and user-owned, or locked behind new paywalls controlled by a few centralized players. Crypto offers a powerful counterbalance by enabling decentralized, transparent, and user-owned systems. Together, AI and crypto are creating new possibilities for a more open, fair, and resilient internet. 📃 11 AI x Crypto use cases by @a16zcrypto ✰ Persistent AI Context Blockchains allow AI to retain user preferences and context across platforms, making interactions more personalized and portable. ✰ Universal Agent Identity Crypto enables AI agents to have portable, verifiable identities that work across apps and ecosystems. ✰ Proof of Personhood Decentralized identity helps distinguish humans from bots in an AI-saturated internet. ✰ DePIN for AI Compute Decentralized networks aggregate unused hardware to provide affordable, censorship-resistant AI infrastructure. ✰ Agent-to-Agent Markets Blockchains enable AI agents to securely interact, transact, and collaborate without centralized intermediaries. ✰ Syncing AI-Built Apps Crypto-powered protocols help keep fast-evolving, AI-generated software compatible and secure. ✰ Micropayments & Revenue Sharing Onchain payments allow creators to be fairly compensated when AI uses their content. ✰ IP & Provenance Registries Blockchains provide transparent ownership and licensing for AI-generated and human-created content. ✰ Paid Web Crawling AI bots can pay creators directly for data access, preserving an open yet fair web. ✰ Privacy-Preserving Ads AI + crypto enables personalized ads without exposing user data, rewarding users directly. ✰ User-Owned AI Companions Blockchains ensure AI companions are controlled by users, not locked into corporate platforms. ☀️ Many of the AI x crypto crossovers point toward a future where agents transact autonomously. @SaharaAI fits this shift by enabling crypto-native micropayments that allow agents to pay for data, APIs, and compute in real time. In a future where agents become the market gateway, Sahara is helping build the rails that make the agent economy work. 🔗http:/SaharaAI.com BTW: I was not active on X almost 2 days and my timeline is full of posts about ClawdBot What is it is all about? 👀 twitter.com/matyv_7/status/201...

Tbh when we put AI and crypto together, we get an entirely new coordination layer for the internet.

Thanks for this Maty!
