The next big "L1" opportunity isn't higher TPS or lower fees for smart contract devs.

It's making crypto rails accessible to a new, emerging set of builders: AI app / agent devs.

AI devs will build on crypto rails for two reasons:
1. Create product differentiation and lock-in by incentivizing users via tokens to contribute to improving model performance
2. Power increasingly autonomous (and eventually sovereign) agents who can capitalize themselves via internet capital markets, make payments, acquire compute, etc.

AI agents gonna be yield farming, tipping their devs, and buying GPU time with $WAGMI and most L1s still out here arguing over gas fees
