Buterin updates ENS via AI agent, sets two-year outlook
- —Buterin updated his ENS via a local AI agent in roughly five minutes, with no web interface
- —He expects cheaper, more private transactions within two years and apps possibly written by bots
- —Risks cited include prompt injection, privacy erosion and compromise of transaction-signing agents
- —The draft ERC-8004 'Trustless Agents' standard is being worked on by MetaMask, Ethereum Foundation, Google and Coinbase
Why it matters: Buterin's thesis sets a direction for Ethereum UX, where AI agents replace apps, shifting the focus to security and emerging standards.
