I’ve seen dozens of “AI x blockchain” pitches lately, but let’s be real — most are smoke and mirrors.

The truth?
Blockchains today are terrible for real AI agents.
Everything is public: inputs, logic, predictions. How can an agent think if it’s being watched every step?

That’s why @tenprotocol caught my attention.

It doesn’t try to force AI into public smart contracts. Instead, it combines:
- Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)
- Encrypted smart contracts

So agents can operate in secrecy — like they do in the real world.

That opens up real possibilities:
- Trading bots that don’t leak alpha
- NPCs that surprise players
- DAO agents that vote without signaling intentions

I’m genuinely excited about this. But also cautious.
Can privacy at the agent level scale?
Will users trust computation they can’t verify?

It’s live on testnet, with grants for builders — that’s a good start. But the real test is adoption.

What do you think?
🧠 Is private AI execution essential for onchain agents?
Or is full transparency still the way to go in Web3?

Let’s discuss. 👇
