- Vitalik Buterin has advocated for the use of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to integrate AI with ETH.
- Buterin co-authored a research proposal with David Crapis on ZK API usage credits.
- The Ethereum ecosystem is expected to benefit from the rise of AI, with top analysts comparing its gains to those of Silver.
Vitalik Buterin has emphasized the need for Zero Knowledge (ZK) proofs in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents with the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem. Buterin stated that the right way to make the Ethereum ecosystem the desired home for AI is to use a different approach than the general approach, where privacy, security, and efficiency are prioritized.
Buterin Endorses an Ethereum Research Proposal on ZK and AI
Buterin co-authored a research proposal with Davide dubbed ‘ZK API Usage Credits: LLMs and Beyond. According to this research proposal, identity-based API access, which has already been implemented in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi), cannot be used to integrate artificial intelligence with the Ethereum ecosystem.

The research proposal advocated for the use of ZK proofs in enabling high-volume and secure calls between the Ethereum network and AI agents. As such, Buterin believes that the Ethereum network will become the desired home for the vast AI industry.
“Don’t just do what everyone else would do anyway, just on rails with an octahedron logo instead of a square or circle, or a pentagon logo. Make something fundamentally better, using meaningful technological improvements in ZK privacy-preserving payments and reputation,” Buterin stated.
According to the proposal, every Ethereum network user will access secure, efficient, and privacy-enhancing web3 products that are integrated with AI agents. Furthermore, this proposal intends to build a system that can allow users to transact funds once and make infinite API calls – which are anonymous, secure, and efficient – with AI agents.

Buterin has in recent months emphasized the importance of the Ethereum community adopting trustless protocols. Moreover, Buterin believes that the Ethereum blockchain should focus on pioneering the mainstream rollout of privacy-enhancing technologies.
The use of zero-knowledge proofs in integrating the Ethereum ecosystem with artificial intelligence will reaffirm the theory that ETH will mirror the Silver bullish breakout. Moreover, macro analysts, led by Jordi Visser, believe that every device that has artificial intelligence has Silver in it, thus making the asset an industry metal.
The use of the Ethereum ecosystem in industrial scale will be a game-changer for the ETH coin, which has yet to rally parabolically beyond its 2021 all-time high. The expected integration of ETH with major AI agents will catalyze its industry demand, and result in growth and a bullish macro outlook.
Furthermore, the AI industry is projected to hit $827 billion by 2030 after reaching $244 billion in 2025, according to a report from Cargoson. As such, ETH spot holders are well-positioned to be rewarded with a bull market in the near term catalyzed by the imminent integration of Ethereum with AI via ZK proofs.
