Machines don’t have reputations. They need to have receipts. $NEAR is building toward an economy where AI agents can act across applications and transact without a human approving every step. $TAO is building a marketplace where machines produce intelligence and validators evaluate the work. But as machines start dealing with other machines, reputation alone becomes a weak form of trust. An agent can have a good history. A miner can have a high score. Neither tells you whether this specific result was produced correctly. That’s where proofs become useful. An agent can prove that it followed the required computation or conditions without exposing the underlying data or process. VFY verifies those proofs and records the result for applications to use. The machine economy won’t run on trust between agents. It will run on evidence they can verify. #Altcoin Season#
