The potential for a nascent bot-to-bot economy to drastically boost the future block space demand is underrated IMHO. The future lies in networks and swarms of autonomous agents, not in them existing in isolation of each other.

By 2030, estimates are of 60M industrial robots, 1B AI agents, 50M self-driving cars, several millions of delivery drones, hundreds of thousands of decentralized power plants, unmanned fab shops and 3D printers, on-demand creative and professional services powered by next-gen LLMs, etc. Many, if not most, of which will need to collaborate, and thus transact, among themselves.

To do that, they will need their identity on chain (just like we do with our own FIDs on Optimism), smart contracts with easy API access not designed for humans, maybe a dedicated L2 optimized for sub-dollar payments, and a trusted settlement L1 with Lindy effect and commensurate security budget (Ethereum's is $85B and growing)
