Dialogue with HashKey's Xiao Feng: Digital Identity Must Be Granted to AI Agents to Enhance Trustworthiness

In an interview, HashKey CEO Dr. Xiao Feng discussed the integration of AI and blockchain, emphasizing the need for AI Agents to have verifiable digital identities. He argued that as AI Agents like OpenClaw become more autonomous and economically active, they require independent digital identities and native wallet accounts, rather than traditional banking systems. Blockchain technology, particularly through non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and soulbound tokens, can provide these identities, ensuring security and accountability. Dr. Xiao also mentioned HashKey’s participation in the Agent Payment Protocol (AP2) alliance, which explores stablecoin payments and on-chain settlements for AI Agents. He predicted that individuals may eventually manage up to 50 AI Agents, significantly enhancing daily efficiency. Additionally, he highlighted Hong Kong’s potential to become a global digital asset hub, leveraging its unique position and resources within China’s broader technological and economic landscape.
