Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

We one-shotted it.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Our bad UX is their good UX.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Exactly, exactly.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

And for what?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

What else is a good UX?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Oh, yeah, Privy and Google OAuth wallets.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

These models cannot OAuth.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

They don't know how to do any of that stuff, right?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

It's actually much worse and harder for them, and you don't want it to do that.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

You do not want this model to have your Google OAuth token because then it can just literally go into your Google and wreak havoc, right?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

You don't want that.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

You want it to just have a small amount of crypto in a wallet that's self-segregated and clear rules around what it can and cannot do, right?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

So ironically, crypto has always had the UX that is perfect for AI agents in terms of exactly what is easy for them to parse and interact with.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

And that's the sense in which I say crypto was designed for AIs.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

We're now trying to backport

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

this ai first technology into becoming something civilized enough that humans can use it which means oh it's the privy model it's oh your money sitting in binance or coinbase it's extremely easy we remove the foot guns you know we have 2fa we have all this stuff that makes it easier and easier for you not to lose your shirt or make a mistake or get hacked but in principle you know in the agent or if you're on a computer you already know how to manage secrets

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

I mean, how do you think you use an API?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Every API that you've ever used has some kind of API secret, some kind of API key that a model's whole job is to safeguard as best as it possibly can.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

So this idea that like, well, you know, human beings, we obviously screw up all the time.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

It's not safe for us to hold on to money.
