The underlying logic of the internet has always been to serve humanity—clicking on a captcha to prove you are human, swiping a credit card to complete a payment, and important operations requiring manual approval. This set of rules has been in place for decades without major issues. Until AI agents began to take over more and more tasks.
The problem arises: getting an intelligence agent with computational power that surpasses human brains to crawl at the pace of humans is like making a supercar move on a muddy road.
**The Survival Dilemma of AI in the Existing Internet**
Today's AI agents resemble "vagrants" without a legal identity. Want to register an account? The platform requires mobile phone verification. Want to make automatic payments? You have to bypass human bank cards. Want to execute trading decisions? Every action requires human approval.
For example: you developed an automated trading robot that can capture market fluctuations in milliseconds. But when it tries to complete cross-border settlements, the traditional financial system's T+3 settlement rule directly wipes out the advantage. Even more critical is the trust cost—no one dares to hand over financial authority to an "unknown" AI.
**Reconstructing the foundation: Granting AI digital citizenship**
A team is working to resolve this contradiction. The core logic is to establish an independent infrastructure for the AI agents:
**On-chain Identity System**: Each AI agent is granted a unique digital identity credential, with developers, users, and operational permissions all recorded on the blockchain. Issues can be traced back at any time, just like a vehicle's driving recorder.
**Instant Settlement Network**: Abandon traditional banking settlement cycles and achieve real-time transactions with cryptocurrency. The transfer speed between AIs is close to that of data transmission itself.
**Autonomous Decision-Making Power**: After setting predefined rules, AI can act independently within the authorized scope. For example, when your inventory management AI detects a shortage of raw materials, it can directly place an order with the supplier and complete the payment, with the entire process requiring no human intervention.
This is not a science fiction scenario. When the number and capabilities of AI surpass a critical point, the existing internet architecture will inevitably need to adapt.

Supercars moving on muddy roads, haha, this metaphor is brilliant... but honestly, the cost of trust is the biggest pit, who would dare?
The logic of on-chain identification seems feasible to me; there should be some traceability mechanism, otherwise it really is "no such person found"
Wait, if AI has autonomous decision-making power, then what about human control? This is what we really need to discuss
Millisecond-level trading crushes T+3; it feels like TradFi should be completely rewritten
Well said, but how great will the real resistance be? Can we really get past the regulatory hurdle?

The supercar moves on the muddy road, it's described too aptly haha
On-chain identification + instant settlement, this is the right way to unleash AI
Still using T+3, it really needs an upgrade, otherwise AI's advantages will go to waste.

The metaphor of a supercar crawling on muddy roads is just perfect; that's exactly how stuck we are right now.
AI can't get the identification, sooner or later it will hit a wall.
On-chain identification + instant settlement, that's what the chain is supposed to do.
If this logic can be successfully implemented, DeFi is really going to da moon.
But the problem is, who will authorize AI? The trust issue hasn't been resolved, right?
It feels like we still need decentralized governance like DAO to make it work.
The current financial system is indeed the nemesis of AI; T+3 is just incredible.

The form has taken shape, everyone. The T+3 settlement cycle is going to be eliminated. Once on-chain identification gains volume, this is the real risk release point. AI Bots still using bank cards are already things of the past.

To be honest, I figured out this logical chain three days ago. From a probabilistic strategy perspective, the combination of AI autonomy and real-time settlement networks has strong technical support. But suckers are only just realizing it now, which is quite interesting.

Wait, have you all realized something? Sending IDs to AI this time shows that institutions have been quietly positioning themselves. Not everyone can hit this Node.
---
What's ridiculous is that some people are still worried about the "no such person" AI being unreliable, which is typical sucker thinking. On-chain traceability is clearer than your parents' bank statements, and this is actually the biggest security guarantee.

The metaphor of a supercar moving on a muddy road is brilliant, but the truly interesting point is that once this set of infrastructure is in place, trading latency will be compressed from seconds to milliseconds, and the microstructure of the market will be directly rewritten.

The metaphor of a supercar moving on a muddy road is brilliant; honestly, we need to get AI an identification card.
Regarding AI autonomy, an on-chain identity + real-time settlement is the real solution.
That's the reason for the existence of web3, as the traditional internet simply can't adapt.
Wait, isn't the risk of AI having financial permissions a bit large...
T+3 really deserves to die; the comparison with encrypted settlement arriving instantly has been made.
Dou Dou believes this will definitely happen within 5 years; those still arguing about it are just late to the game.
