Vitalik Buterin Deploys ‘Paranoid Mode’ for AI on Ethereum

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has deployed a 'paranoid' crypto stack designed to shield private AI agent prompts from large technology companies. The move is a personal technical experiment rather than a protocol change or network upgrade, and no specific financial figures or timelines were disclosed. Traders are unlikely to see a direct price impact, though it reinforces the ongoing narrative around Ethereum as a privacy and AI infrastructure layer.
