BlockBeats News, February 11th. Davide Crapis, AI lead at the Ethereum Foundation, stated, "The internet has turned 'access' into an identity-based model. Every API call is tied to your email, credit card, or wallet address. AI will exacerbate this situation. Proposing to use staking instead of identity, a one-time fund deposit. Can initiate thousands of API calls. Stay unlinkable (untraceable). Once abused, the stake will be forfeited."

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin agreed, believing this is the right path to make Ethereum an AI haven, emphasizing fundamental innovation using ZK privacy payments and reputation mechanisms, rather than simply replicating existing systems on the blockchain.
