Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated at the OKX NOW event in Singapore on October 6, 2026, that Ethereum will support a large volume of transactions within two years, achieving lower costs, better privacy, and facilitating the deep integration of AI with on-chain applications. He suggested that both counterparties and application developers could be robots, and traditional applications might even cease to exist, with robots directly publishing quotes on-chain, and users' AI agents interpreting these quotes to identify suitable trading opportunities.
