I just finished reading a16z's in-depth report on why AI needs blockchain. It's quite interesting. It coincides with the BAP-578 proposal that @BNBCHAIN ​​just submitted yesterday, and it really resonated with me. Several of the problems mentioned in it seem to have preliminary solutions in BAP-578: 1. Identity and sovereignty issues: a16z is concerned that it is too easy for AI to create clones, while BAP-578 encapsulates the Agent as a unique NFA (Non-Fungible Agent), giving the AI ​​an unforgeable "universal passport" and asset scarcity. 2. AI Payment Issues: a16z mentioned that traditional payments are not suitable for high-frequency micro-transactions in AI. BAP-578's built-in TBA (Token Bound Accounts) directly provides the Agent with an independent wallet. If combined with x402, it can achieve native "machine-scale payments". 3. Privacy issues: a16z emphasizes that privacy is the core of AI security. BAP-578 has reserved ZKML interface and data verification in its architecture, so that "proving identity" no longer requires exposing raw data. Although the current market conditions have dampened sentiment in the crypto market, after reading a16z's analysis and comparing it with BNB Chain's proposed BAP-578, one can see that even in a sluggish market, blockchain technology continues to develop. Moltbook has launched an A2A Social Network. If AI agents are to eventually operate autonomously, collaborate with each other, and even conduct large-scale machine-to-machine micro-payments, then I still believe that the design of blockchain technology in terms of identity, asset sovereignty, and native payments is necessary. From a technical perspective, I think the AI ​​+ Crypto route is still correct. @cz_binance @heyibinance twitter.com/0x0funky/status/20...
