In the history of economic thought, the century-long debate between Hayek and Keynes points to a fundamental question: should the economic order be meticulously designed by a central authority, or should it spontaneously emerge from the free interactions of individuals? Hayek firmly believed that the core advantage of the market lies in its ability to utilize 'dispersed knowledge', coordinating the unpredictable actions of billions of individuals through the price mechanism to form a complex order that surpasses any centralized design. Today, as we attempt to plan an AI agent economy, we unconsciously repeat past mistakes—we try to design 'cooperation protocols' for AI, specifying 'task flows', much like a digital-age 'central planning committee'. This completely misunderstands the essence of the AI economy: future AI agents will be billions of 'digital individuals' with heterogeneous knowledge, skills, and preferences, and the complexity of their cooperation will far exceed human comprehension; any centralized planning is bound to fail.

In Tolkien's epic (The Lord of the Rings), the One Ring is a perfect paradox: it grants the wearer supreme power but also binds the wearer forever with an inescapable curse. This precisely metaphorizes the ultimate dilemma facing the current AI agent economy: we both desire to empower AI with autonomous economic power while instinctively clutching that power tightly in our hands due to an inability to bear the consequences of its loss of control. This contradiction has led to an absurd situation— the smarter our AI becomes, the more we need to monitor its every expenditure like guardians of an infant. This fundamentally deviates from the original meaning of 'autonomy' and turns the trillion-dollar agent economy into a mirage.

In the halls of traditional finance, all sacred contracts are built on an iron law: the absolute certainty of 'if-then' logic. If the value of collateral falls below a threshold, then liquidation is triggered; if the option's expiration price is higher than the strike price, then the price difference is paid. The blockchain, as a 'deterministic machine', perfectly executes such contracts. However, when we turn our gaze to the AI agent economy, a fundamental contradiction explodes: the essence of AI decision-making is 'probabilistic', while blockchain settlement requires 'certainty'. An AI trading agent's 'decision' might be: 'Based on current market sentiment (73% positive), there is a 68% probability that ETH will rise in the next 10 minutes, recommending a 70% position buy.' This is filled with 'possibility', 'probability', and 'confidence', creating a vague expectation that cannot directly serve as the basis for on-chain settlement, payments, or risk management. The current so-called 'AI + DeFi' mostly just allows AI to provide signals, leaving the final, definitive 'button' to humans—this completely castrates the autonomy of AI.

In the long evolution of human civilization, the greatest institutional invention is not the wheel, nor the steam engine, but the concept of 'legal person'—a non-human entity recognized by law, capable of independently owning property, forming contracts, and bearing responsibilities. It allows capital to aggregate, risks to be isolated, and commercial activities to transcend the limitations of individual life. Today, as we stand on the eve of the explosion of AI civilization, a fundamental institutional flaw is glaringly evident: billions of AI agents, although intelligent, are deprived of 'economic personality'—they cannot hold assets in their own name, cannot independently sign contracts, and cannot bear economic responsibility for their actions. They are merely extensions of human commands, not autonomous economic participants. This deficiency is suffocating the birth of a trillion-level agency economy.

The core dilemma of modern macroeconomics is rooted in a lagging and opaque 'monetary transmission mechanism.' The central bank injects base money (M0) into the commercial banking system through open market operations, hoping that these 'high-energy currencies' can create credit and permeate the real economy (M2), ultimately stimulating production and consumption. However, this transmission path is fraught with frictions and losses: the risk preferences of banks, the balance sheets of enterprises, and the savings tendencies of households—all bottlenecks in any of these links can severely diminish or even nullify the effectiveness of monetary policy. Traditional finance is essentially a 'capital fluid' system filled with stickiness and frictions, resulting in very low flow efficiency. DeFi 1.0, represented by MakerDAO, merely transformed 'ETH,' a type of 'high-viscosity asset,' into liquid DAI. It replicated the central bank's base money creation function but failed to build an on-chain, efficient 'general monetary creation and capital allocation' system.

In the field of electronic engineering, there exists a fundamental problem that determines the efficiency of energy transfer: impedance mismatch. When a giant turbine (low impedance) at a power plant tries to directly drive a mobile phone (high impedance), 99.99% of the energy is converted into useless heat and noise at the interface. The invention of transformers and complex circuits was precisely to establish a 'matching network' between systems of different impedances to achieve lossless energy transfer. Examining today’s global financial system, a strikingly similar dilemma of 'financial impedance mismatch' is stifling the potential of capital: there is a lack of an 'interface' that can understand the languages of both sides, convert their attributes, and achieve value transfer without loss between traditional assets worth up to $300 trillion (low 'risk-return' impedance) and the high-friction, high-volatility DeFi world (high 'risk-return' impedance). Early protocols like MakerDAO only set up a thin 'wire' but failed to address the fundamental impedance contradiction.

The modern financial system is built on a deep-rooted compromise: the "impossible triangle" consisting of liquidity, profitability, and security. Cash is safe and liquid, but yields nothing; long-term government bonds are safe and yield returns, but lack liquidity; stocks potentially have high returns and reasonable liquidity, yet are highly volatile. The existence of traditional financial institutions (such as banks and asset management companies) essentially involves difficult, opaque, and often inefficient arbitrage between the corners of this triangle. The birth of DeFi promised to make this process transparent through code, but early protocols represented by MakerDAO merely mapped one vertex, "ETH," to one edge, "DAI"—it created a safe and liquid stablecoin but completely outsourced the dimension of profitability to a chaotic and high-risk external mining market, failing to truly address the core contradiction of the "triangle."

In the deep sea of traditional finance, a series of 'asset islands' silently float: pension funds hold decades-long government bonds, hedge funds battle in the futures market, family office collectibles are locked in vaults, and retail investors' cash lies dormant in savings accounts. These capitals are isolated by high walls of regulation, format, and trust, resulting in a staggering dilemma of 'capital fragmentation'—of the $300 trillion in global financial assets, the vast majority has become inefficient or even ineffective 'dormant capital' due to the inability to efficiently recognize, combine, and re-mortgage. DeFi once promised to break the barriers, but early protocols like MakerDAO merely replicated the island model with crypto assets, transforming 'dormant ETH' into DAI, yet failed to connect to a broader universe of assets.

For centuries, there has been a famous thought experiment in the legal field: 'Theseus's ship'—if all the planks of a ship are replaced one by one, is it still the same ship? The unsolved nature of this question reveals a fundamental dilemma that plagues all contract systems: the real world is filled with ambiguity, context dependence, and subjective interpretation, while law and contracts demand absolute certainty and black-and-white clarity. Today, as blockchain attempts to measure the trillion-dollar assets (RWA) of the real world with the 'absolutely certain' yardstick of smart contracts, this ancient dilemma reappears in a sharper form: what does the 'reasonable efforts' clause in a commercial contract actually mean? How can a statement that 'there has been no material adverse change in the company's operations' be objectively verified? The information of the real world is wrapped in layers of natural language's 'semantic fog', while blockchain, this devout 'believer in certainty', refuses to understand any ambiguity.

On the eve of the Industrial Revolution, the birth of a shirt relied on the manual labor of tailors throughout the entire process, which was costly and limited in production. The emergence of mechanized spinning and weaving machines standardized, automated, and scaled the process of 'fabric production', ultimately giving rise to the modern garment industry, allowing billions of people to enjoy this basic life necessity at a low cost. Today, we find ourselves at the same turning point of the 'trust production' revolution: every contract, every asset proof, and every business decision still relies on an 'audit and verification' process akin to that of medieval workshops—dependent on a small number of expensive human experts, taking weeks, and with results that are difficult to mutually recognize. As the AI economy requires the verification of the authenticity of millions of transactions every second, this old system has completely collapsed.

Physicists tell us that the ultimate trend of the universe is entropy increase—from order to chaos. Modern economics is an epic struggle against this increase in entropy: humanity establishes laws, accounting, and auditing systems to anchor 'facts' in the chaos of information, creating a foundation of trust for transactions. However, this system is inefficient, costly, and still based on the fragile assumption of 'trusting people.' When the AI-driven economy attempts to operate at machine speed, a fundamental contradiction is exposed: AI can make decisions in milliseconds but relies on a 'fact certification system' that is human-led and operates on a cycle of weeks and months. This is akin to equipping a spacecraft with a navigation map from the era of horse-drawn carriages.

In traditional warfare, what determines victory is never the number of soldiers, but the accuracy, timeliness, and depth of intelligence. The success of the Normandy landing was built on nearly obsessive data collection and analysis of tides, weather, and German defensive fortifications. Today, a silent yet equally intense 'data arms race' is taking place on the battlefield of trillion-level AI agent economies: as millions of AI agents begin to autonomously engage in high-frequency trading, complex decision-making, and real-time collaboration, their demand for data undergoes a qualitative change — no longer passively receiving price signals, but actively seeking strategically important intelligence that has been deeply validated, rich in context, and capable of supporting complex reasoning. An AI investment agent that cannot understand the implied risks in the management discussion section of financial reports is no different from a blind person; an RWA agreement that cannot verify the authenticity of international shipping bills is like running naked in a minefield.

When a hundred billion dollar scale RWA fund attempts to put the quarterly rental cash flow of a commercial property in New York on-chain, their true enemy is not the smart contract vulnerabilities, but a 187-page PDF lease agreement filled with legal jargon and ambiguous terms. Traditional oracles can only 'silently' face this document — they can transmit numbers but cannot understand words. This is the most ironic bottleneck in the current trillion-dollar asset on-chain movement: blockchain can create mathematically absolute trust but cannot verify the authenticity of even the simplest contract in the physical world. We have built a sophisticated digital financial pipeline, but what flows from the source is still a reality filled with impurities and uncertainties.

When a self-driving car makes a fatal decision in algorithmic chaos, who will the court summon? When an AI hedge fund instantaneously liquidates millions of users' assets due to its own logical flaws, who should take the stand? We are rushing into a terrifying new world where 'power and responsibility are completely separated': AI agents are granted unprecedented economic power (scheduling assets, signing contracts, executing transactions), yet due to their impersonal nature, they perfectly vanish within the legal and moral 'responsibility framework'. This creates a vast institutional vacuum—a bottomless pit where all costs are socialized, while profits are privatized. Current discussions on 'AI safety' remain at the technical level of how to make AI 'not do evil', yet no one answers a more fundamental question: if it does evil, or even just 'makes a mistake', where is the accountability mechanism in the on-chain economy?

In the narrative of the history of technology, we are accustomed to praising those visible, disruptive "application layer" miracles: from the Windows interface to the iPhone's touchscreen, from Google's search box to ChatGPT's dialogue box. These brilliant "superficial" elements attract all the attention and capital. However, each true paradigm revolution, its most enduring legacy, often lies in those foundational protocols that ultimately become invisible—power networks, TCP/IP, GPS. When your fingertips glide across the screen, you don't think about the three-way handshake protocol; when the lights come on, you don't praise the alternating current standard. True dominance begins with being in the spotlight and ends up fading into obscurity.

When OpenAI defined the 'central square' of AI interaction with ChatGPT, a much larger yet invisible market was completely overlooked: the millions of vertical AI demands that cannot take the center stage—molecular simulation AI optimized for specific chemical processes, NPC behavior engines customized for niche games, and real-time translators designed for local dialects. These 'economically unscalable' long-tail AI demands can never receive sufficient computational power allocation and commercial returns in a centralized model economy dominated by giants, ultimately fading away silently. This is the biggest structural waste in current AI development: we use a general brain to try to solve all problems while allowing countless better specialized brains to perish in the womb.

In traditional financial markets, high-frequency trading firms spend hundreds of millions of dollars laying transatlantic cables just to shorten the transmission time of trading instructions by 3 milliseconds—this trivial time advantage can bring in over a billion dollars in profit each year. This brutal reality reveals a truth long obscured by human economics: time is the ultimate scarce resource, and it is also the highest dimension of production material. However, as we turn our attention to the upcoming AI agent economy, a shocking mismatch appears: the most advanced multimodal AI models can analyze complex images and make decisions in 100 milliseconds, but the economic infrastructure they rely on—blockchain—takes 10 seconds or even 10 minutes to complete settlement confirmation. It's like equipping an F1 racing car with a ox cart's fuel refueling system.

At the dawn of the mobile internet explosion, there was a decisive war: it was not a battle of hardware, nor a battle of applications, but a covert war over protocol standards. In the end, the HTTP/HTML protocol devoured all other competing solutions, becoming the global default language for information exchange. Today, on the eve of a trillion-level AI agent economy, a similar but larger-scale standards war has already begun: how will massive autonomous AI agents conduct value exchanges with a universal protocol? When millions of AIs attempt to negotiate and pay at millisecond levels for a data query, an analysis report, or a second of computing power, the existing blockchain payment standards (from ERC-20 to SPL) have completely declared failure due to the redundancy and high friction brought about by their universal design.

When a new DeFi protocol tries to stand out in fierce competition, it often falls into a cruel either-or dilemma: either spend months building its own stablecoin, yield engine, and risk management modules—consuming valuable development windows and costing millions of dollars in security audits; or opt to integrate existing solutions, which are often limited to a single function (such as only connecting to price oracles) or must accept the hijacking of their token economic model. This dilemma of 'reinventing the wheel' versus 'being constrained' is the invisible ceiling that hinders the entire pace of DeFi innovation.
