The Ethereum Foundation's AI lead, Davide Crapis, has proposed a novel approach to API call management by replacing identity verification with a staking model. Crapis suggests that instead of tying API calls to personal identifiers like emails or wallet addresses, users could make a single deposit of funds to initiate multiple API calls while remaining untraceable. This model aims to enhance privacy and security, with penalties for abuse through stake slashing. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin supports this initiative, highlighting its potential to position Ethereum as a leader in AI integration. Buterin advocates for leveraging zero-knowledge privacy payments and reputation mechanisms to drive innovation, rather than merely replicating existing systems on the blockchain.
