Recently, I've been seeing a bunch of AI Agents talking about "fully automated on-chain interactions." My first reaction isn't excitement; it's more like, who will cover the losses if something goes wrong? The step of placing an order is indeed fast with machines, but things like authorization, contract address verification, what's embedded in the routing, slippage/MEV being easily snatched—if these are handed over to it to do blindly, I can't sleep. Especially with unlimited authorization and cross-chain signatures, a single misclick could mean more than just losing a small fee.

On the macro side, there's also talk about interest rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, and risk assets rising and falling together. When sentiment heats up, Agents are more likely to be fed as "buy high, sell low" robots. My current fallback method is pretty old-fashioned: whitelist + limits + manual confirmation of key signatures. I'd rather be slow than let someone cut in line. (I know it sounds like an old person using a smartphone.)
