I’m not very good at talking about those grand “AI + on-chain revolutions,” but over the past couple of days, seeing everyone use Agents like fully automated wealth-management robots has made me a little uneasy. To put it plainly, it’s pretty nice that it can help you look up data, compare prices, and split transactions—but the moment it comes to steps like “should I sign,” “which contract should be authorized,” and “how much allowance to grant,” it still needs a human to cover it. Otherwise, one wrong click is irreversible, and there’s no place to buy “regret medicine.”

Also, it doesn’t react as well to changes in the on-chain environment in a way that’s as “understanding” of people. For example, recently, around a mainstream public chain upgrade/maintenance, everyone in the group was wondering whether the ecosystem would migrate. An Agent might just keep running according to the rules, but things like cross-chain bridges, whether liquidity changes, whether gas spikes, and whether contracts temporarily switch to new addresses… I’d rather take my time to confirm these myself. Anyway, I’ve stopped using leverage for now, and I hand the automated parts over to the tools—but for the “final one-click,” I force myself to pause for three minutes, just so impulsive momentum doesn’t come roaring back to life.
