Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin highlighted zero-knowledge proofs and privacy-focused infrastructure at an OKX event, while discussing the potential role of AI agents in financial-market security. At the Oct. 6 OKX NOW conference in Singapore, Buterin discussed how privacy-preserving systems could affect interactions on blockchain networks. He identified zero-knowledge proofs as one of the technologies relevant to that work. AI agents were a separate security theme. Buterin discussed their possible role in financial markets. He also described AI as a possible interface for blockchain users and a growing security risk, themes explored in [earlier coverage of his OKX remarks](). ## Links in this article - [earlier coverage of his OKX remarks](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/27265)
