I've been thinking about this lately, and one question keeps coming to mind.
What happens when DeFi protocols start relying on AI models for risk management, lending decisions, or market forecasting?
How do we know that every decision is actually coming from the same model we trust?
Smart contracts are transparent, but AI models are often black boxes.
If a model is quietly updated, replaced, or modified, most users would never know the difference.
That's why I think the future of AI isn't just about intelligence. It's also about verification.
This is where
$OPG starts to look interesting to me.
Running AI is one thing, but being able to prove which model produced an output and verify that nothing was altered during execution is a completely different challenge.
Storage matters too.
If AI models are going to become part of financial infrastructure, they need a permanent identity.
That's why decentralized storage solutions like Walrus stand out.
Instead of relying on a centralized server, models can exist as immutable references that anyone can verify.
But the biggest question may be governance.
If AI models eventually influence billions of dollars in financial decisions, should updates and oversight remain under the control of a single company, or should they be transparent, verifiable, and decentralized?
I have a feeling that the most valuable AI systems in the future won't be the most intelligent ones.
They'll be the ones people can verify and trust.
