ARK and Tencent Cloud Unite to Advance AI-Native Web3 Infrastructure

The post AI and Web3: How the Two Narratives Are Converging appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Artificial intelligence and Web3 used to feel like separate technology stories. AI was about models, automation, data, and productivity. Web3 was about ownership, crypto assets, open networks, wallets, and programmable money. Today, that separation is becoming harder to maintain. The reason is simple: AI systems are becoming more agentic, while blockchains are becoming better at handling identity, settlement, coordination, and programmable financial activity. If AI agents can search, compare, negotiate, and act on behalf of users, they may also need wallets, permissions, spending limits, reputation systems, data access, and audit trails. For crypto investors and Web3 users, the convergence of AI and Web3 is both an opportunity and a risk zone. It could create demand for decentralized compute, smart wallets, stablecoin payments, oracle infrastructure, data networks, and agent marketplaces. B

The post Is ETH Still the Backbone of Web3? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum is no longer just “the smart contract chain.” In 2026, it is better understood as a settlement layer, liquidity hub, developer base, staking network, ETF asset, and foundation for a growing web of Layer 2 ecosystems. That makes the question more nuanced than whether Ethereum is still important. The real question is whether ETH still captures enough value from the activity built around it. For crypto investors, DeFi users, builders, and Web3 businesses, Ethereum remains difficult to ignore. It still anchors much of the DeFi economy, supports major stablecoin and tokenized asset activity, and serves as the base layer for many rollups. At the same time, users now interact with Ethereum through Layer 2 networks more often than through Ethereum Mainnet itself. This guide explains Ethereum’s 2026 position without hype. It looks at what Ethereum still does well, where the risks are, how Layer 2 scaling c
