Pedro Gomes introduces himself as the founder and director of the WalletConnect Foundation. He discusses WalletConnect's evolution over seven years, the shift from Web 2 to Web 3 authentication where wallets handle client-side authentication for self-custody, and the concept of smart sessions to reduce friction by eliminating wallet popups while maintaining security. He explains how smart sessions enable AI integration, automation, and improved user experiences for on-chain activities, with use cases including AI agents for swaps, dollar-cost averaging, gaming, and subscriptions. He concludes that smart sessions open new design spaces for developers.

Do we have any questions? Any questions for Pedro from WalletConnect?
Audience Member 13:49 ↗
Thanks, Pedro, for the talk. You mentioned that AI agents will be in place of the wallets. How do you handle the hallucination problem there?
Pedro Gomes 14:05 ↗
Pedro explains that hallucination and security are separate problems. Smart sessions allow the wallet to define policies, and as long as AI agents adhere to those policies, the user maintains control. The wallet provides security and reliability, while app developers can innovate within the policy constraints.
Audience Member 15:45 ↗
Okay. And for the user policies, can they be modified at any point of time or is it only at the start?
