# Introduction

Decentralized AI Agents have the potential to revolutionize Web3 applications by enabling autonomous operations without relying on centralized servers. However, the inherent openness and trustless nature of Web3 present significant security challenges for these agents.

While AI Agents offer promising capabilities in managing digital assets, automating transactions, and supporting decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), their current limitations in trustworthiness and accountability hinder widespread adoption.

Mintpump addresses these challenges by leveraging Secure Enclaves (TEEs), specifically Intel SGX, to provide a robust foundation for secure AI Agent operations within the Web3 ecosystem.
