Avalanche Treasury CEO Bart Smith warns that AI-driven automated financial agents could significantly increase transaction demand on Layer 1 blockchains like Avalanche, Solana, and Ethereum. This surge could challenge the assumption that blockchain capacity is unlimited, making technical differences between networks more critical.
