Odaily Report: Vitalik posted on X platform congratulating the @zksync Airbender team on achieving this milestone. He believes that zkEVMs have achieved a decisive victory in the speed race, and the top priority should now fully shift to security.

Vitalik stated that this means the need for formally verifying the equivalence between arithmetization and the Ethereum specification, a hard cap on the ratio of prover cost to total block gas, and the security of the proving system itself.

Odaily reported: Some investors and analysts believe that Anthropic's Q3 results may enhance the feasibility of its IPO, but are unlikely to dispel doubts about the global artificial intelligence trade. According to people familiar with the matter, the company's revenue for the quarter reached $16.8 billion, with positive free cash flow and an adjusted gross margin of 85%, indicating that its AI investments are beginning to show returns. The company is expected to complete its listing by the end of this year at the latest.

Although global AI stocks are under pressure from rising bond yields, oil price-driven inflation, and financing issues at companies such as CoreWeave, market participants point out that while Anthropic's revenue highlights underlying demand in the AI sector, it may not be enough to revive investor enthusiasm across the entire industry, as chipmakers and infrastructure providers are facing signs of slowing earnings.

Odaily reports that X-Agent has published its latest technical article, "From Agent Payments to an Onchain Personal Assistant," unveiling its next major product direction: moving beyond Agent Payments toward an Onchain Personal Assistant capable of understanding user intent, obtaining authorization, executing onchain operations, and continuously tracking results.

Unlike simply giving an AI Agent a "wallet," X-Agent aims to solve a more critical problem: how to enable an Agent to safely complete an onchain task on behalf of the user from start to finish.

For example, when a renewal bill arrives, the AI assistant can interpret the bill, verify the payee and amount, generate a payment plan, and complete the transaction after the user authorizes it. Even if a timeout or interruption occurs during the process, it should resume the original task and verify the payment status, rather than blindly repeating the payment. After the payment is completed, the Agent also needs to continue confirming whether the service the user purchased is actually delivered.

To achieve this goal, X-Agent plans to further connect three major modules—Agent ID, Agentic Email, and Agentic Wallet—which respectively handle identity and accountability, task and communication entry points, and controlled onchain fund execution. Through mechanisms such as payment pre-computation, one-time authorization, budget control, recovery, and reconciliation, X-Agent aims to establish clear security boundaries for autonomous Agent execution.

Its core logic can be summarized as:

User intent → Explicit authorization → Onchain execution → Result verification

X-Agent believes that a true onchain AI assistant is not merely one that "initiates a transaction on behalf of the user," but one that can continuously complete tasks under controlled permissions and take responsibility for the final outcome. This also means that X-Agent is evolving from Agent payment infrastructure to further exploring a persistent onchain AI assistant for individual users.
