every distributed ledger has to answer one question: who gets to write the next entry, and why should everyone else believe it? the answer it picks defines what the whole system rewards. proof-of-work

What It Means for the AI Economy - and Why It Matters for Hetu. A landmark paper from cryptographer Rafael Pass (Cornell, Technion) has resolved one of the longest-running debates in crypto economics:
most ledgers advance on a schedule. a new block every few seconds, whether or not anything meaningful happened inside it. Setu does the opposite. it advances only when an AI agent actually does
Within the past two weeks, five major AI agent payment systems have entered production: NEAR AI x402, Circle Arc, Solana Pay.sh, the AWS–Coinbase–Stripe partnership, and the Accord
Most monetary protocols try to compress all of money's functions into a single token. This is a category error. It happens because one-token-fits-all is operationally simpler, narratively cleaner, and
