According to ChainCatcher, the a16z crypto team published an article pointing out that as AI systems scale up, the internet lacks a native way to distinguish between humans and machines, posing challenges to the trust system. Blockchain technology can provide solutions. The article summarizes the following five key roles: Increase the cost of AI impersonation: By using decentralized human identity verification systems (such as World ID), the scale of fake identity generation can be limited, raising the cost of attacks. Decentralized identity verification: Blockchain gives users control over their own identities, avoiding single points of failure in centralized identity systems, while also protecting privacy and enhancing censorship resistance. Create a universal "passport": A blockchain-based identity layer enables AI agents to operate across platforms, carrying permissions and payment information, improving interoperability and preventing lock-in effects. Support machine-scale payments: By leveraging blockchain micropayments and smart contracts, low-cost and fine-grained payment distribution can be achieved, supporting economic activities between machines. Strengthen privacy protection: Through zero-knowledge proofs, users can verify their identities without exposing specific data, preventing AI from abusing information for impersonation.
