Why is AGI inherently linked to blockchain in structure?

Because centralized systems cannot accommodate an intelligence smarter than humans.
If an AGI is confined to a single company's servers or a single country's laws, it is not a general intelligence but a censored private product.
AGI needs the freedom to act, but that doesn't mean chaos.
Blockchain provides order, and smart contracts replace traditional legal agreements because they can execute automatically, without lawyers or delays.
When an AGI needs to access global computing power, it pays through decentralized computing networks; when it needs to prove that its output has not been tampered with, it uses hashes on the chain.
None of this requires human approval.
We are on the eve of a singularity, and those claiming AI doesn't need blockchain are actually imagining AGI as an appendage of humans, rather than an independent digital species.
Look at current trends—AI agents are already testing transactions on the chain.
The most underestimated opportunities lie in projects that build the foundation of machine economics, trying to define property rights rules for the AGI world.
Meanwhile, the overhyped are those projects that attempt to use blockchain merely for data labeling for AI, which is completely misguided.
AGI needs sovereignty, and blockchain is the only land that can provide digital sovereignty.
