𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘅 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲? In my last post, [link in the comments] we touched on how AI agents could use seamless payment systems (like stablecoins) to interact with the world in real time. Today, let’s imagine what this might look like for something practical—a 3-night hotel booking. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼: You casually decide to treat yourself to a short getaway. You give your AI agent a simple instruction: “Find me a decent hotel near the beach around Port Kaligro with good Wi-Fi and a tub, $200 per night max.” This is where things get interesting: 1️⃣ 𝗔 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗲𝗿-𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 Your generalist AI agent knows it’s not a travel expert—it’s smart enough to outsource. It hands off the task to a specialized hotel-booking AI that’s designed to: • Search dozens of booking platforms for live availability. • Match your preferences (beachside, good Wi-Fi, budget-friendly). • Account for personal quirks it knows about you (e.g. you love a good view of nature). In seconds, the hotel-booking AI sends back precise details: • Ocean Breeze Resort, Dec 20–23, $180 per night. 2️⃣ 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Now your generalist agent takes the reins again. With the exact details in hand, it passes the info to a simple, specialized booking tool (probably not AI-based). This tool handles the technical stuff—locking in your booking, confirming payment, and generating the reservation number. 3️⃣ 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗲! Within moments, your AI agent sends you this: “Booked! Ocean Breeze Resort, Dec 20–23, $540 total. Have a great trip!” You didn’t scroll endlessly through a booking site, enter payment and personal details, or deal with reading reviews for every potential property. The whole process was fast, precise, and hassle-free. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸? Here’s where automated payment systems come in. Stablecoins are a great fit for this use case: • They only need a wallet to send, receive, and temporarily store funds—no clunky credit card forms or bank accounts set up. • They’re fast, with transactions settling in seconds. • No exorbitant conversion fees or delays when dealing with international currencies. Sure, this could be done with traditional payment rails, but stablecoins make the process simpler, faster, and more direct. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? This is just one example of how AI agents will streamline complex tasks. As they evolve, these systems will get even better at coordinating specialized tools, making real-world interactions smarter and more efficient.

🚨 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲’𝘀 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗽: 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱? 🚨 Google’s announcement of the Willow quantum chip has stirred up conversations—and some panic—about the security of blockchains and digital signatures. Let’s unpack it: 1️⃣ 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼: The digital signature algorithms securing blockchains also protect everything from online banking to digitally signed contracts and software updates. If they were ever compromised, it wouldn’t just be a crypto problem—it would be an internet problem. Crypto shouldn’t be in the spotlight of worry here. 2️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀: Willow boasts 105 qubits—a significant technical feat. But to challenge the cryptographic security we rely on today, researchers estimate ~13 million qubits would be needed. That’s an enormous gap. 3️⃣ 𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲: Remember the quantum supremacy buzz back in 2019? Google made bold claims then, too, and while exciting, they were later refuted. Panic ensued then too, so we should keep these types of news in perspective. 4️⃣ 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 - 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: Even if qubit growth follows a consistent exponential trend (and that’s a big "if"), it would still take at least 17 years to reach the scale required to challenge digital signature algorithms. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆? Quantum computing is advancing and will undoubtedly revolutionize fields like material science, AI, and cryptography research. But when it comes to breaking digital signatures, we are still far from this being a practical reality. So let’s celebrate the innovation in quantum computing without hitting the panic button. https://lnkd.in/djSUc-SC

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗞𝗲𝘆𝘀 API keys power automated crypto trading, but a lack of consistent management practices across exchanges like Coinbase, Binance and Kraken Digital Asset Exchange expose users to some security risks. Just to mention a few key differences: 🔑 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: While some exchanges allow for granular, fine-grained control, others allow IP whitelisting and only part of exchanges allow for permission set grouping. 🔒 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀: A majority of exchanges allow for 2FA, but the exact second factor (authenticator app / passkey / SMS) greatly differs across exchanges. Alerts, fine-grained logging inspection tools, and proactive alerts’ presence is also partial. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗺𝗯 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝘂𝗻. Keep your keys close and manage your risks appropriately!

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘅 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼—𝘄𝗵𝘆? Over the next few weeks I’ll attempt to break this down, today let’s talk about the basic synergy between crypto and AI agents: AI agents are on the rise and have the potential to revolutionize how the internet operates. Here’s the big idea: • Replace today’s server-driven APIs and web content with 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, each mastering specific tasks with precision. • This approach solves key limitations of LLMs, like small context windows, making interactions smarter and more efficient. • For seamless interaction, AI agents need 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 to handle real-time transactions. Enter 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀: • Already transforming cross-border payments and ecommerce payouts. • Perfectly positioned to enable 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝘁𝗼-𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀—fast, seamless, and reliable. As AI agents evolve, stablecoins could become the backbone of their transactional ecosystem. The synergy between AI and crypto isn’t just hype—it could shape the future of intelligent automation.
