Bankless · Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw · 24 Mar 2026 podcast

But the IPv6, the new version of the IPv4, the protocol itself is from 98 or something.

We're still adopting it.

We're still trying to roll it out.

It takes so long to get everyone to adopt a new protocol.

What blockchain actually created is, again, consensus for everyone to upgrade to a new version, to upgrade smart contracts, to upgrade all those pieces.

And so I think that's a really important part is like, let's say you want to upgrade...

everyone to a new version of something right now to distribute that to get everybody to, like you either need a centralized company that effectively controls the key.

And so let's say Microsoft decides to upgrade everyone to Windows 11, Windows whatever, 15, they can do it.

They would have no say in it, right?

Just like, okay, it arrived.

And if somebody in Microsoft who holds that key decides to like, let's break everyone or let's steal everybody's information, like they can do that as well.

What blockchain allows is to actually have this kind of a broader agreement to upgrade to something.

And then now, again, you can use these principles for AI, you can use these principles for money, you can use these principles for others.

So that's to me like the fundamental piece.

Again, this is what, if you know SSL certificates, right, the encryption we use in browsers, right now it relies on individual authorities which can mint, you know, fake certificates if needed.

Some countries actually have done that by accident.

So we're fixing that problem at the core.

I mean, we're talking about new internet here, right?

So we're fixing the root of trust at the core.

And then, yes, money is an extremely important component.
