Episode notes
Beyond Blockchain Programmability Limits
- Cloud-scale programmability means running any code that the cloud supports, but with crypto-grade verifiability.
- Existing blockchains limit programmability by enforcing deterministic consensus, constraining developers significantly.
Peepeth: Early On-Chain Twitter Attempt
- Early experiments like Peepeth tried putting Twitter on-chain, writing Tweets in Ethereum.
- Today, putting entire apps directly on chain is impractical; instead, EigenCloud packages blockchain assurances as external services.
Crypto Trust for AI Agents
- AI models increasingly require trust and accountability to avoid misinformation and manipulation.
- Using crypto-economic penalties to ensure AI outputs verifiability can change the relationship with AI agents.
