Looking at history is quite interesting——in 1996, e-commerce actually had little prospect. What truly changed the game? The emergence of SSL/TLS technology. With this encryption protocol, people dared to swipe their cards online, Amazon took off, and then a trillion-dollar market was born.

Now it's 2026, and the capabilities of AI agents are basically in place. But there's a problem: intelligence is one thing, trust is another.

Only by laying a solid trust infrastructure can we unlock the true potential of the AI economy. No matter how advanced the technology is, it won't work without trust, because trust is a prerequisite—without it, nothing can transfer money.

Let's look at some successful examples.

Why did DeFi transform from a concept into a trillion-dollar market? Blockchain smart contracts solved the trust problem, allowing strangers to trade confidently. Social media, on the other hand, builds trust through real-name authentication and privacy protection, making users comfortable sharing their daily lives, which has driven explosive growth in the entire platform economy.

On the flip side? Early P2P file sharing lacked trust mechanisms, leading to rampant piracy and viruses, which suppressed the entire industry. VR/AR technology isn't lacking in intelligence, but privacy trust hasn't kept up; users worry about data misuse, and the market simply hasn't heated up.

The bottom line is this—intelligence is the drill, trust is the diamond. Without the diamond drill, even the best drill can't handle porcelain. No matter how smart AI agents are, without a trust infrastructure, they can't achieve large-scale economic endeavors.

So what's the key? Someone must genuinely build the trust infrastructure. This isn't just empty talk; it's about solving trust issues at the AI and internet levels. Only then can the economic potential of AI agents truly be unleashed.
