The True Path of Web3 is AI

The current Web3 industry seems lively, but in reality, it has lost its direction. The DeFi craze is endless, the NFT boom has receded, and concepts like modularity, public chains, and L2 are emerging one after another, yet the essence of technology and ecology remains stagnant. Amidst this noise, what truly has disruptive potential and can lead Web3 out of its predicament is not a 'faster chain', but the deep integration of AI.

The ideal of Web3 is 'decentralized autonomy', but most current chains still heavily rely on manual operations, foundation decisions, and manual governance. Governance DAOs are stagnant, contracts are rigid, and network scheduling is inefficient. The core issue of these problems is the lack of true intelligence. The arrival of AI can precisely fill this gap.

AI can enable chains to have self-optimizing capabilities. By analyzing network status, user behavior, and economic models, AI can dynamically adjust transaction fees, block parameters, and even consensus strategies, achieving a truly 'adaptive chain'; at the smart contract layer, AI can construct 'dynamic contracts' with contextual understanding and predictive capabilities, making the chain no longer a cold executioner of code, but a discerning economic participant.

More importantly, AI can reshape the governance structure of Web3. Traditional DAO voting is inefficient and of poor quality; AI can take on roles of data analysis, suggestion generation, and risk assessment, becoming the central brain of on-chain governance. In scenarios involving content, creation, finance, and more, the combination of AI and blockchain can also lead to large-scale decentralized intelligent agent systems, achieving a truly decentralized Web3 application ecosystem.

In short, AI is the key leap for Web3 to evolve from a 'passive executing network' to an 'intelligent autonomous system'. Without AI, Web3 can only be an illusion of inefficient database democracy; with AI, Web3 can potentially become a genuinely next-generation intelligent network civilization. The future is not about chains being faster, but about chains being 'smarter'. This, is the way forward.
