In the wave of the intention economy, a question has been posed to everyone—will technological progress make us dumber?
The answer might be surprising. We no longer need to drill wood for fire, nor can we calculate square roots. Every tool revolution has freed humanity from repetitive labor. As long as we can verify the results, the black-box process isn't actually that scary—this could even be called a form of "happy regression."
But with the rise of the Solver mechanism, new concerns have emerged. Scale effects naturally lead to Solver centralization, which contradicts our goal of a decentralized world. However, technology always finds a way out. Projects adopting ZKP solutions are exploring a new path: centralized executors must submit mathematical proofs for each operation. Execution is centralized, but verification remains decentralized—that's likely what the future will look like.
An even more urgent issue is privacy. Imagine shouting on the street, "I want to buy 10 million Bitcoins," and the next second, you're targeted—that's the logic behind MEV attacks. Some projects are experimenting with a clever approach: combining FHE and TEE technologies to match user intentions in encrypted form. The Solver can see that an order exists but doesn't know who initiated it, until the transaction is completed.
Of course, there's a technical challenge ahead—what if AI misunderstands the intent? This is known as the "alignment problem." Some solutions have come up with an idea: before the user signs, the wallet pops up a simulation of the result. Is this your intention? Asset A will become Asset B, with a fee of about 0.1%. Confirm or cancel? Users can see a preview before officially submitting, greatly reducing risks.
These innovations may still be young, but they are gradually solving the core problems of the intention economy era.

Just like ZKP, we need to find a balance between centralized execution and decentralized verification...

Black-box execution and decentralized verification are indeed a powerful combination. I feel that the path of ZKP is the right way.
I'm afraid of the MEV nightmare—who wants their intentions to be monitored by hunters?
Wallet pop-up previews are simple and straightforward, more reliable than any fancy schemes.
Honestly, users still need to have control over the discourse; otherwise, no matter how smart AI is, it’s useless.
If the intention economy really takes off and we can't achieve both privacy and decentralization, we'll just be stuck in the same place.

My sister said it really, I've been paying attention to Solver centralization for a long time. On-chain data shows that large wallet addresses have been interacting crazily recently. Interestingly...
Wait, ZKP plus decentralized verification? Based on my analysis, this combo can work. Finally, someone thought of separating execution and verification.
10 million Bitcoins being shouted out on the street would be sniped immediately. Haha, this is the big MEV show we track every day. The combination of FHE and TEE is indeed a way out.
However, I still have some doubts about the alignment issue. When will the bug where AI misunderstands intentions be fixed...
Really? Wallet pop-up previews can reduce risk? Feels like this guy is a bit too optimistic. My personal imagination might need to be scaled back.

Ha, ZKP sounds nice in theory, but how many projects that can truly be implemented without being exploited?
Implementing centralized verification to achieve decentralization... sounds like it's just whitewashing centralization.
Regarding MEV, FHE+TEE does have some potential, but I'm worried it might introduce a new attack surface.
The most concerning thing is still wallet pop-ups; users simply don't understand those data, and clicking confirm is almost like blindly clicking.
It's always "young innovation"... this phrase is said every year, and every year problems arise.

That ZKP system is indeed excellent, but when it comes to real-world implementation, it will depend on who can reduce the costs.
