It’s autonomous signing. Digital ownership is state + signing. Blockchains solved autonomous state. Autonomous signing was solved 40 days ago by running MPS TSS in a TEE network. I’m so grateful share this first ever moment with my teammates @LitProtocol.
AI agent "rug pulls" will happen if agents are not truly autonomous and unstoppable. TEE + MPC gives us unstoppable and unruggable AI agents and memecoins.

Verifiable credentials could be the big 'unlock' for decentralized gaming. Today, gaming companies hate NFTs because they are transactional and "to earn" is not their model. VCs will let gamers bring their achievements from game to game without the financialization.
