@VitalikButerin "Don't just rebrand. Build something fundamentally better." This is the whole thesis. Ethereum isn't competing to run the same systems on different rails. It's building systems that couldn't exist before. 📖
63.33% support vs 17.92% confront - users want Ethereum to be AI's home by building ZK privacy-preserving payments and reputation, not just rebranding.
Real-time analysis of public opinion and engagement
What the community is saying — both sides
The thread rallies around ZK API credits and stake-based reputation as the practical primitives that actually enable private, accountable AI access rather than mere logo swaps.
Many voices insist Ethereum should focus on protocol-level primitives — unlinkable calls, slashing for abuse, and verifiable agent state — not rebranding centralized APIs.
Privacy-preserving payments and anonymous, unlinkable request flows are highlighted as the underrated breakthrough that prevents AI from becoming surveillance infrastructure.
Several replies point to complementary approaches (TEE/attestation, local compute, L2 designs) and urge layering different privacy tech stacks rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Builders warn that reputation must be verifiable yet non-linkable so agents can prove creditworthiness without exposing strategy or identities.
There’s palpable excitement about making Ethereum the native home for agent economies, with calls to prioritize ZK-native identity, data availability, and execution primitives for durable systems.
most “AI+crypto” projects today are tokenized wrappers; commenters demand measurable tech improvements (verifiable inference, on-chain handoffs, micro-payments) that change what’s possible.
Several projects and experiments (KORI, Ethervista, Trac, NEAR/TEE notes) are cited as real-world signal that these ideas are already being implemented and stress-tested.
Many replies angrily blame Vitalik or the Ethereum Foundation for “dumping” ETH and driving the price down, demanding he stop selling and restore trust.
A large group complains about high gas fees and slow transactions, urging lower fees and calling Ethereum unusable for many practical purposes.
Some users push to make Ethereum the “home for AI” and propose tokens/integration ideas, while others insist shared-chain approaches won’t work or claim alternative chains (ICP, virtuals_io) are better suited.
Several replies suggest deploying AI-themed tokens, running Ethereum on other stacks, or tagging for follow-up — practical proposals mixed with skepticism.
A notable portion of responses are abusive, threatening, or insulting in multiple languages, signaling strong emotional backlash from parts of the community.
A few replies offer curious technical or artistic observations (topological/geoinformative metaphors, octahedron logos, etc.) and lighthearted emojis or jokes.
Questions about Uniswap, BlackRock, market bleeding, and community pleas to “make ETH great” reflect ongoing anxiety about governance, institutional involvement, and long-term value.

Congrats on the insightful proposal, @VitalikButerin and @DavideCrapis! ZK-powered API credits could revolutionize privacy for AI inference and beyond—imagine seamless, anonymous interactions for everything from LLMs to meme coin ecosystems like $MANYU, the pampered Shiba sensation taking over ETH.Keeping things secure and efficient without linking identities? Game-changer. 🚀@RealManyu
@VitalikButerin Thousands of API calls, anonymously, securely, and efficiently. We second this. AI to advance and automate processes without collecting or storing users' personal information. 🤝
@VitalikButerin your daughter misses you brother 🦛 @VitalikButerin https://t.co/00d5nGWXM4
@VitalikButerin Do you like dino’s Vitalik? https://t.co/1d4Su9b00i
@VitalikButerin Vitalik, from many of your tweets, you have been opposing AI. Do you think AI will take away your ability to write code, or think that people can do anything relying on AI and are afraid of being unconstrained? I can't understand why you don't accept AI.
