Recently, I’ve been tempted by a bunch of AI agent “fully automated on-chain” demos, mainly because I have a bit of a control obsession: seeing machines confirm, sign, and vote for me, I always feel like they could also sign my social security card in the next second...

Honestly, the most critical “boundary conditions” in on-chain interactions are still things that require human oversight: like how much authority to grant, what exactly the signature is signing, how to interpret last-minute changes to proposal terms, what to do if voting strategies are exploited by opponents. Agents are good at running processes, but the dirty work outside the process—reading fine print, checking history, asking “Are you sure?”—still needs humans.

And recently, that mainstream public chain is upgrading/maintaining, and the group chat is guessing whether projects will move out. I’m even less willing to let agents decide on cross-chain moves or changing deployment points on their own. Whether to migrate or not, how to migrate, ultimately, humans are the ones taking the fall. For now, automation is fine, but don’t outsource your brain too.
