Long term
We believe
- Your main mode of interacting online will be via agents.
- Agents will not have bank accounts — they will have crypto wallets and special identity credentials.
- There’s an opportunity to create the right incentive structures for a vibrant decentralized open ecosystem, vs a monolith company controlling our future AI agents.
