Regulation Is Coming for the Trust Layer
Slashing, Restaking, Agent Execution & Sovereign Capital — What Happens When Modular Systems Hit Legal Systems
The modular revolution didn’t just fragment infrastructure.

🔥 You Delegated to a Bot. Now the SEC Wants to Know Who’s Liable.
Restaking is the hottest capital flow in crypto.
Agents are routing billions without permission.
DAOs are spinning up incentives without disclosures.
Vaults auto-execute strategies with zero oversight.
You didn’t vote.
But your ETH was staked.
You didn’t authorize a trade.
But the agent executed it.
When it all goes right, you love the yield.
When it goes wrong? Who gets subpoenaed?
