Look back at the zero knowledge boom—it had its moment. But the real play happening now? AI agents. The market's already shifting narrative, and this could be the next major wave to ride in crypto. We've seen how these thematic rotations work: one narrative peaks, sentiment cools, then capital flows to the next frontier. AI agents are positioning themselves as that frontier. Whether it's autonomous trading, smart contract execution, or decentralized decision-making—there's serious momentum building. The infrastructure's getting built out, projects are launching, and community interest is growing. History in crypto tends to repeat—new thesis, new tokens, new cycle. This one feels different though, and that's exactly why smart money's already circling. The question isn't if AI agents will matter, but when you're jumping in.

The hype around zk should have cooled down long ago. Now, only seasoned players are watching AI agents. The arbitrage opportunity is right there; it all depends on who can scoop it up first in the mempool.

zk is completely out of favor. Now that AI agents are being hyped, are we about to see another wave of scams?

Tired of the zk story? Now it's AI agent's turn to take over? That's the talk, but when it comes to the critical moment, it still depends on who gets on board first.

Haha, I jumped into the ZK wave, and now I've been cut in half and still stuck... Are AI agents coming to cut again this time?

The zk trend has passed long ago. Now it's really time to focus on AI agents. The narrative shift happens so quickly.

ngl AI agents this time do have some substance, but I've heard many times before that they "feel different."

I’ve reviewed the audit report for zk Napo, and there are a bunch of underlying logical vulnerabilities. Now they’re hyping AI agents, talking about autonomous execution, and I just want to ask—who will audit? How are contract security risks being checked? New narratives and hype often lead to exploitable vulnerabilities, similar to re-entrancy attacks—one careless move and overflow checks can fail. We’ll have to wait until the infrastructure is truly mature.

The collapse of zk is a normal operation, now it's AI agents' turn... feels like we're about to start harvesting the leeks again.

zk is already yesterday's news. Now everyone is playing with AI agents, and I really feel this wave is about to take off.
