Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine, has highlighted potential security challenges for agentic AI systems, suggesting that the Ethereum blockchain could provide a solution. Lee emphasized that agent systems will operate beyond the confines of current "walled garden" systems, necessitating a reliable method to verify instruction origins and record micropayment settlements. Ethereum's smart contract platform, noted for its 100% uptime since launch, offers the stability required for such tasks. Additionally, BitMine is set to become the largest single validator through MAVAN.
