PANews reported on January 28th that BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated that agentic AI will face security challenges in the future, and the Ethereum blockchain may offer a solution. Lee pointed out that agent systems will operate outside the "walled garden" of existing systems, and the smart contract blockchain can prove the origin of instructions and record the final settlement of micropayments. Ethereum is the only smart contract platform that has maintained 100% uptime since its inception, and this stability is crucial. BitMine will become the largest single validator through MAVAN.
