The Integration of AI and Encryption Technology: The MCP Protocol Facilitates the Evolution of a New Paradigm

The Deep Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain Technology

Recently, the concept of "AI+Crypto" has been receiving increasing attention. From the emergence of ChatGPT to the launch of multimodal large models by major AI companies, and the attempts to integrate AI agents into DeFi protocols and governance systems in the blockchain world, the fusion of this "dual technology wave" is becoming a reality.

The driving force behind this trend comes from the complementarity of two major technological systems. The development of AI allows machines to perform complex tasks, but they still face limitations such as a lack of context understanding and incentive structures. On the other hand, the on-chain data systems and incentive mechanism designs provided by blockchain can precisely compensate for these shortcomings of AI. Conversely, the blockchain industry also needs smarter tools to handle tasks such as user behavior and risk management, which is precisely the strength of AI.

It can be said that blockchain provides a structured operating environment for AI, while AI injects proactive decision-making capabilities into blockchain. This deep "mutual infrastructure" is forming a new pattern. For example, the "AI market maker" that appears in DeFi models the market in real-time through AI models, achieving dynamic liquidity scheduling by combining on-chain data. In governance scenarios, AI-assisted "governance agents" can analyze proposal content, predict voting tendencies, and provide personalized suggestions to users.

From a data perspective, the behavioral data on the blockchain inherently possesses verifiable and structured characteristics, making it very suitable as training material for AI models. Some projects have already begun to attempt using on-chain behavioral data for model fine-tuning, and in the future, there may emerge a dedicated "on-chain AI model standard".

At the same time, the incentive mechanism of the blockchain provides a more robust and sustainable economic drive for AI systems. Through the incentive mechanism defined by on-chain protocols, AI agents can earn token rewards by performing tasks, truly participating in the economic system.

From a more macro perspective, this trend may evolve into an "Agent-centric on-chain social structure": AI models not only can execute contracts, but also understand context, coordinate games, actively govern, and establish their own economic systems through token mechanisms. This is not science fiction, but a reasonable conjecture based on the current technological development trends.

It is precisely for this reason that the theme of AI+Crypto has recently received high attention from the capital markets. From major venture capitalists to the launch of emerging projects, we can see a consensus is forming: AI models will play an important role in Web3, as they will have identity, context, incentives, and even governance rights.

It is foreseeable that in the coming years, AI agents will become indispensable system participants in the Web3 world. This mode of participation will no longer be a simple "off-chain model + on-chain API", but will evolve into a new form of "model as a node" and "intention as a contract". Behind this is the semantics and execution paradigm constructed by new protocols such as MCP(Model Context Protocol).

The integration of AI and blockchain is a rare "underlying docking" opportunity. This is not a short-term hot topic, but a long-cycle, structural evolution. It will determine how AI operates, coordinates, and incentivizes on the chain, and will also define the basic form of future on-chain society.

MC Protocol: The Key Infrastructure for AI on the Blockchain

With the advancement of AI technology, large models have achieved stable context management, task decomposition, and other capabilities, and are expected to enable continuous interaction and autonomous decision-making on the blockchain. At the same time, the blockchain itself is continuously evolving technically, creating conditions for AI to become a native participant. Against this background, the MCP(Model Context Protocol) protocol has emerged, aiming to construct a complete mechanism for AI models to operate, execute, provide feedback, and generate rewards on the blockchain.

MCP is not an independent model or platform, but a full-chain semantic layer protocol that spans AI model invocation, context construction, intent understanding, on-chain execution, and incentive feedback. Its core design includes:

1. Model Identity Mechanism: Each model instance or agent has an independent on-chain address, which can receive assets and initiate transactions through permission verification.

2. Context Collection and Semantic Interpretation System: Abstracting on-chain states, off-chain data, and historical interaction records, combined with natural language input, to provide the model with a clear task structure and environmental context.

3. Intent parsing and execution engine: converting users' natural language instructions into executable on-chain operation sequences.

4. Incentive and feedback mechanism: Based on task completion, user satisfaction, and other indicators, provide token rewards to the model to form a positive incentive loop.

Currently, multiple projects have begun to establish prototype systems around the MCP concept. For example, one project is attempting to deploy an AI model as a publicly callable on-chain agent, serving scenarios such as trading strategy generation and asset management decision-making. Another project has built a multi-agent collaboration system based on the MCP protocol, allowing multiple models to dynamically collaborate around the same user task. There are also projects trying to expand MCP into the foundational layer of a "model operating system," allowing any developer to build model plugins with specific capabilities on top of it.

From an investment perspective, the introduction of MCP not only brings a new technological pathway but also presents an opportunity for industrial structure reshaping. It opens up a new "native AI economic layer" where models are not just tools but also economic participants with accounts, credit, returns, and evolutionary paths. This means that future market makers in DeFi could be models, participants in DAO governance could be models, content curators in the NFT ecosystem could be models, and even on-chain data itself could be parsed, combined, and repriced by models.

The investment approach will shift from "investing in an AI product" to "investing in the incentive hub, service aggregation layer, or cross-model coordination protocol within an AI ecosystem." MCP, as a foundational semantic and execution interface protocol, has potential network effects and standardization premiums worth noting.

As more and more models enter the Web3 world, the closed loop of identity, context, execution, and incentives will determine whether this trend can truly take off. MCP is not a single breakthrough, but a "infrastructure-level protocol" that provides consensus interfaces for the entire AI + Crypto wave. It aims to address not only the technical question of "how to put AI on the chain," but also the economic question of "how to incentivize AI to continuously create value on the chain."

AI Agent Reconstructs On-Chain Task Model

When AI models truly possess on-chain identity, semantic context awareness, intent analysis, and execution capabilities, they will become active participants on the chain, rather than mere auxiliary tools. The MCP protocol provides a structured path for AI models to enter the blockchain world, interact with contracts, collaborate with humans, and engage with assets. This path includes not only underlying capabilities such as identity, permissions, and memory, but also intermediate layers like task decomposition, semantic planning, and proof of performance, ultimately pointing to the possibility of AI Agents participating in the construction of the Web3 economic system.

Starting from practical applications, on-chain asset management is the first area where AI Agents penetrate. Based on MCP, AI Agents can automatically analyze on-chain data according to the user's high-level intentions ( such as "optimize yield" ), assess the risk and return of different protocols, generate trading strategy combinations, and validate security. This enables non-professional users to delegate assets using natural language, significantly lowering the threshold for asset management.

Another accelerated and mature scenario is on-chain identity and social interaction. Users can have a "semantic agent" that synchronizes with their preferences, interests, and behavioral dynamics. This agent is capable of participating in social DAOs, publishing content, organizing NFT activities, and even maintaining the user's on-chain reputation. Some social chains have already begun to deploy Agents that support the MCP protocol to assist users in onboarding, building social graphs, and participating in interactions.

In terms of governance and DAO management, agents with semantic parsing and intent understanding capabilities can help users organize DAO dynamics, extract key information, summarize proposals, and recommend or execute votes based on user preferences. This "preference agent" based on on-chain governance mechanism is expected to alleviate issues of information overload and incentive misalignment. Meanwhile, the MCP framework also allows models to share governance experiences, forming a cross-community knowledge transfer mechanism.

In addition, MCP provides a unified interface for scenarios such as AI curation of on-chain data, interaction in the gaming world, ZK proof generation, and cross-chain task relaying. In the field of blockchain games, AI Agents can become the brains of NPCs, enabling real-time dialogue, story generation, and more; in the NFT ecosystem, models can serve as "semantic curators", recommending or generating content based on user interests; in the ZK field, models can quickly translate intentions into ZK-friendly constraint systems, simplifying the proof generation process.

From these applications, it can be seen that the MCP protocol is changing the very paradigm of task execution. Traditional Web3 task execution requires users to master underlying knowledge, while the MCP transforms it into "you just need to express what you want to do." The interaction between users and the chain has shifted from code interfaces to semantic interfaces, from function calls to intention orchestration. This transformation elevates AI from a "tool" to an "agent" and also transforms blockchain from a "protocol network" to an "interaction context."
