What are AI agents in crypto?

Autonomous programs that act on-chain – writing code, trading assets, managing risks without constant human input. Think bots with brains.

Will AI agents replace crypto developers?

Not fully – they'll handle boilerplate, but complex protocol design needs human skepticism. Bugs in agents could nuke funds.

How do Cambrian and Ethereum Foundation fit in?

Cambrian builds the agent frameworks; Ethereum provides the secure chain. Together, pushing for agent-native DeFi.

Are AI agents safe for crypto trading?

Safer than humans in theory – no emotions – but model flaws or hacks could amplify losses. Proceed with tiny positions.
