Intents, Zcash, and Privacy (And Why These Are The Big Three Narratives Now...)

Privacy is the bedrock for the onchain economy and NEAR is building the infrastructure to prove it.

In this episode of AI Supercycle, we sit down with Alex Shevchenko from Aurora and Harshit Tiwari from NEAR Protocol to discuss cross-chain intents, the rise of Zcash, why privacy is a prerequisite for AI agent commerce, and how user-owned AI competes with the centralized AI cabal.

We discuss:

- NEAR Intents: 67+ Chains, Zero Slippage
- Shielded Zcash Transactions & Privacy Rights
- User-Owned AI vs. The Centralized AI Cabal
- How Solvers Create Efficient Cross-Chain Markets
- NEAR's Revanchist Theory & Token Economics
- Why Privacy Is a Prerequisite for Agent Commerce
