š Vitalik Buterin endorses ZK privacy-preserving payments and reputation systems as a path to make Ethereum the home for AI, rather than copying existing models
š Vitalik is once again showing why he's light-years ahead of the curve. Instead of chasing the same centralized AI hype that Big Tech is pushing, he's quietly pointing Ethereum toward something genuinely unique: a privacy-first foundation where ZK-powered anonymous payments and soulbound-style reputation systems let both humans and AI agents interact economically without constant surveillance. This isn't just another L2 meme coin play ā this could be the actual infrastructure for a decentralized AI economy where trust is cryptographically enforced rather than corporately gatekept. If builders listen, Ethereum won't just 'support AI'⦠it could become the neutral, credibly-neutral settlement & reputation layer the whole AI world secretly needs. Bullish doesn't even begin to describe it
