Everyone seems to be asking how intelligent AI agents will become. I'm more interested in a different question: what happens when thousands of intelligent agents compete to execute the same opportunity at the same time?

@NewtonProtocol (NEWT), a protocol aimed at establishing a secure rollup for AI-driven strategies, automated trading and a marketplace for AI developers, made me think less about AI itself and more about how capital behaves when autonomous agents start competing for the same liquidity.

I noticed that AI-driven strategies can react far faster than human traders, but that doesn't automatically create better returns. If thousands of agents converge on similar signals, spreads compress, profitable opportunities disappear faster, and execution becomes the real bottleneck rather than the strategy.

That makes secure infrastructure more relevant than flashy automation. At the same time, greater automation could increase network activity while also creating new forms of congestion and competition.

My takeaway is that the biggest question isn't whether AI trading grows. It's whether the infrastructure can still deliver efficient execution once everyone is using similar AI models.
