ChainCatcher news, according to Bitcoin.com News, the decentralized AI infrastructure platform Gaia has announced a strategic partnership with the Ethereum Name Service (ENS). This collaboration combines ENS's innovative domain technology with Gaia's AI ecosystem, enabling developers and users to securely manage AI agents and inference services across Web2 and Web3 networks.This integration introduces Gaia Domain (GDN), a new identity service for AI agents within the Gaia network. Built on the ENS infrastructure, GDN provides human-readable identities for AI applications on the Gaia decentralized network (e.g., "agentname.gaia.domains").Gaia CEO Matt Wright stated, "Our partnership with ENS enhances the accessibility and functionality of decentralized AI, providing discoverable, blockchain-agnostic identities for AI agents that are both intuitive and powerful. With GDN, users can more easily own, manage, and interact with AI agents, extending ENS's decentralized domain framework into the AI space."

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on X that airdrops are an interesting initial use case for validating zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), blockchain identity, credentials, and proof frameworks.He pointed out that the goals of airdrops include: distributing to community members rather than random users who sell immediately, rewarding project contributors, maintaining relative fairness (allowing for a certain degree of variance), and resisting malicious extractive arbitrage behavior. Vitalik believes that these are precisely the characteristics that identity, credential, and proof frameworks aim to achieve, so using token issuance as an initial use case for testing and optimizing these frameworks, especially in adversarial environments, is a very reasonable approach.

ChainCatcher message, Vitalik posted on X: "I believe that 'anonymous society', and even 'financialized pseudonymous society', is not really effective. A more multidimensional concept of identity (characterized by 'soulbinding') seems necessary; if you don't do this, the most stable governance structure will just be a de facto centralized structure, and others will be attacked by financialized governance. It can be said that even today, we can see these issues at play in DAOs.Anonymity is a check and balance, its existence is to run the 'dark side of the cycle', but it itself cannot run the entire cycle. Just as you cannot operate a society with perpetual rebellious energy.Regarding x-risk, I believe that diverse thinking can actually help us more effectively identify x-risk mitigation measures that people can support."
