On April 21, during the roundtable discussion "Decoding Web 4.0: When AI Agents Take Over On-Chain Permissions," Christian, the founder of Infini, discussed the topic of the "Agent Moat." He stated that from the perspective of product and growth, the core competitiveness of AI still primarily depends on the language processing capabilities of large models, particularly the degree of humanization in content output. He pointed out that compared to the earlier models, which tended to provide mechanical and templated responses, current users are more concerned with whether AI can deliver expressions and content quality that closely resemble real human conversations. This directly impacts its practical value in external communication and team collaboration. Christian mentioned that as model capabilities continue to evolve, basic information processing abilities are becoming increasingly homogeneous. Once large models can accomplish about 90% of standardized tasks, solely relying on the models themselves will struggle to create long-term barriers. The competition among AI Agents is gradually shifting from model capabilities to specific application scenarios and workflow design. In the future, truly differentiated capabilities will no longer be limited to simple information processing or desktop automation, but will involve executing higher-level tasks and providing decision support through a deep understanding of business processes in complex scenarios such as finance and trading.

On April 21, Brad Bao, Head of AI Growth at Cobo, shared at the offline event themed 'Decoding Web 4.0: When AI Agents Take Over On-Chain Authority' that Cobo is restructuring the funding control logic of Agents through a structured authority system. In its products, the relationship between users and Agents is no longer a simple wallet authorization but is defined by an executable 'contract (Policy/Agreement)' that outlines the boundaries of authority. This contract includes at least four core elements: Intent, Path, Rules, and Termination conditions, thereby upgrading the original 'all or nothing' authority control to a negotiable, auditable, and revocable fine-grained governance mechanism. On the execution level, Cobo integrates MPC (Multi-Party Computation) technology to ensure that even if an Agent exhibits abnormal behavior, the system is attacked, or risks such as prompt injection occur, the funds remain under user control, and no single entity can bypass the constraints to independently transfer assets. Brad Bao emphasized that under this framework, Agents can gain sufficient freedom of action to complete complex tasks, but their behavior is always confined within verifiable boundaries. He stated that this system essentially builds a layer of 'trust and insurance infrastructure' within the Agent economy, achieving controllable delegation of Agent behavior through the combination of 'contractual authority + secure computation,' ultimately enhancing automation efficiency while ensuring user asset security and outcome certainty.

On April 21, Brad Bao, the Growth Head of Cobo AI, shared at the offline event themed 'Decoding Web 4.0: When AI Agents Take Over On-Chain Permissions' that the involvement of AI Agents in fund allocation and asset management has transitioned from concept to reality. The question of whether Agents will manage money is no longer relevant. As more Agents directly connect to wallets to execute transactions, the industry has begun to see risks such as funds not arriving as expected. In response, the team continuously records issues and risks faced by Agents in real transactions through an experimental system, promoting the improvement of relevant mechanisms. Brad Bao pointed out that the current core contradiction in the industry is: if Agents lack autonomy, their value will be no different from traditional automated trading tools; however, if they lack verifiable certainty, humans cannot confidently entrust fund management to Agents. This tension between 'autonomy vs certainty' is becoming a key bottleneck for AI Agents in advancing towards on-chain financial infrastructure.

According to The Block, Shin Hyun-song, the newly appointed governor of South Korea's central bank, delivered an inaugural speech promising to promote the development of central bank digital currency (CBDC) and deposit tokens. He stated that the related applications would be expanded through the second phase of the 'Han River Project' and that the bank would participate in global collaborations such as Project Agora to strengthen the position of the Korean won in the global payment system. Notably, Shin did not mention the Korean won stablecoin in his speech, despite South Korean legislators actively pushing for the 'Basic Digital Assets Act' to establish a legal framework for stablecoins, with discussions expected to resume after the regional elections on June 3. Previously, during his tenure at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), Shin held a negative view on stablecoins, believing they could not replace currency. However, reports indicate that his stance has shifted, suggesting that the Korean won stablecoin should coexist with CBDC.

On April 21, ether.fi announced on the X platform that, following guidance from security partners, it will restore the LayerZero bridging functionality for weETH and eETH within the next 24 hours. Previously, ether.fi confirmed that its Liquid treasury was temporarily not directly exposed to the risks associated with the Kelp rsETH incident, but decided to suspend the LayerZero cross-chain bridging functionality for weETH and eETH as a precaution until the root cause of the Kelp rsETH incident is clarified. Additionally, related Teller contracts for Liquid (ETH, BTC, USD), sETHFI, and eBTC products have been suspended to block the LayerZero OFT bridging path, and the deposit and withdrawal functions for these assets have also been paused. The team is currently working closely with security partners.
