➥ Can You Trust Your AI Agents?

Will your AI take over your DeFi transactions? Can you really trust it with every automated decision?

A striking 90% of respondents said no.

This persistent concern raises a crucial question: how can we build trust in AI agents?

I can understand why this distrust exists. It stems from the brief "AI slop cycle" that occurred in Q1 2025, when many decentralized AI projects claimed to have the most advanced AI models.

Everything seemed promising and appeared to run smoothly until it all collapsed. This marked the beginning of a skeptical era for AI in web3.

Many argue that we have cryptographic verification for trust, so any execution from AI can be verified through verifiable compute.

That's helpful, but what happens when AI starts hallucinating and causing problems?

We need robust frameworks grounded in performance, accountability, and market-driven transparency to ensure AI agents can truly take responsibility.

— The Alpha Protocol - A New Framework for Trusted AI

Among other DeFi AI-focused projects, @TheoriqAI stands out as it builds the Alpha Protocol, a decentralized, multi-agent system designed to enable autonomous agents to collaborate, optimize liquidity, and perform complex financial tasks on-chain.

In short, Theoriq's Alpha Protocol solves trust issues through:

➠ Continuous evaluation in three key areas: factuality, safety, and effectiveness for performance-based trust

➠ Staking and slashing-based mechanisms

➠ Coordinated swarm collaboration with auditable logic and Proof-of-Collaboration

➠ Community-led governance that enables the framework to evolve and adapt through human oversight

By combining these elements, Theoriq is not only building foundational building blocks but also creating ecosystems where agents are not merely verifiable, but truly trustworthy, aligned with user intent, and continuously evolving.
