Ep 37 — How AI Agents Will Reshape DeFi & Crypto Infrastructure with Ejaaz Ahamadeen

The DCo Podcast

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Agents are the Interface: Expect autonomous agents, not traditional apps, to become the dominant way users interact with both AI and crypto, abstracting away underlying complexity.
  2. Money Talks: The most successful near-term crypto AI agents will likely focus relentlessly on generating financial returns for users, tapping into crypto's core speculative drive via sophisticated, proprietary trading strategies.
  3. Build Real Products: Sustainable value comes from solving user problems with excellent UX and viable business models (potentially subscription-based initially), not just tokenomics. AI necessitates a shift from infrastructure hype to product-led growth.

Ben Fielding: Gensyn’s Fueling an AI-Native Internet, Open vs. Closed Source AI and RL Swarm

Delphi Digital

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. AI scaling hits physical limits: Centralized hyperscalers face diminishing returns; the future needs horizontally scalable, decentralized compute enabled by protocols like Gensyn.
  2. The Internet gets personal (and probabilistic): Expect a shift from static databases to dynamic, parameter-based experiences, requiring ubiquitous, verified ML execution.
  3. Open beats closed (eventually): Open-source models and decentralized learning (like RL Swarm) will likely outpace closed systems by leveraging global compute and diverse data, mitigating centralized bias risks.

The Agent Network — Dharmesh Shah, Agent.ai + CTO of HubSpot

Latent Space

AI

Key Takeaways:


1. Agents Evolve into Teammates: Shift perspective from agents as mere tools to digital collaborators within hybrid teams, requiring platforms like Agent.ai for discovery and interaction.


2. Engineer Pragmatically, Vibe Code: Lean towards under-engineering; AI reduces refactoring costs, making it cheaper to pay down tech debt later than to over-invest in unused abstractions now.


3. Unlock Networks with Standards & Memory: Prioritize building blocks like the mCP standard and tackle the critical challenge of secure, shared, cross-agent memory to enable true agent collaboration.

Hash Rate - Ep 103: 'It's AI' $TAO Subnet 32

Hash Rate pod - Bitcoin, AI, DePIN, DeFi

AI

Key Takeaways:


1. Niche Focus Wins: Its AI demonstrates the power of specializing in one thing (AI text detection) within the BitTensor ecosystem, achieving leading accuracy and carving out a clear market position.


2. Ecosystem Arbitrage: There's a significant valuation gap between BitTensor AI projects (like Its AI or ReadyAI) and comparable VC-funded companies (GPTZero, Scale AI), suggesting potential upside once accessibility improves.


3. The Bridge is Coming: Easier access via wrapped tokens or user-friendly platforms bridging BitTensor to chains like Solana/Ethereum is the critical next step for unlocking subnet value and attracting mainstream capital.

taostats

AI

Key Takeaways:


1.  Incentivized Decentralized Training Works: Templar demonstrates that coordinating anonymous miners globally via crypto-economic incentives to train a single AI model is feasible, moving beyond permissioned compute pools.
2.  Production is the Only True Test: Real-world deployment with adversarial miners is non-negotiable for building robust decentralized systems, revealing exploits impossible to find otherwise. Templar's rapid iteration (>200 runs) provides a significant edge.
3.  Community & Ownership are Superpowers: Openly sharing struggles and leveraging tokenomics to give miners ownership transformed Templar's development, aligning incentives and fostering collective problem-solving far exceeding a centralized team's capacity.

Crypto Stress Test: Fees, Volatility, and Chain Performance

Lightspeed

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Evaluate L1s and app-specific protocols not just on throughput, but on their explicit value capture mechanisms.
  2. Prioritize protocols that directly align user activity and protocol revenue with token value, as seen in Hyperliquid's buyback model, over those with less direct or diluted value accrual to the native asset.
  3. Chains that can maintain low, stable fees during peak demand and clearly articulate how their native token captures value from growing on-chain activity will attract both users and capital.

The Dogecoin Community Might Sh**t me for Saying This...

The DCo Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The ongoing global distrust in centralized financial systems fuels a search for decentralized alternatives, yet the crypto market's focus on "store of value" assets like Bitcoin risks missing the original intent of a truly global, fair means of exchange, a gap Dogecoin aims to fill.
  2. Re-evaluate digital asset utility beyond speculative store-of-value narratives, considering projects actively pursuing frictionless, low-cost means of exchange.
  3. The long-term viability of decentralized finance hinges on its ability to deliver practical, everyday utility, not just investment returns. This means projects focused on transactional efficiency could gain significant ground in the coming 6-12 months.

Haonan Li on How Codex is Taking Over The $7 Trillion FX Market

The Rollup

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. As global economies grapple with inflation and inefficient financial systems, capital seeks refuge and utility in digital assets. Onchain FX provides a direct, cost-effective escape route, bypassing legacy intermediaries and offering a superior alternative for cross-border value transfer.
  2. Builders should focus on creating core financial primitives like onchain FX that solve real-world problems with superior economics, rather than chasing speculative narratives or token-driven vanity metrics.
  3. The next 6-12 months will see a continued acceleration of capital into crypto-native financial rails, particularly in emerging markets. Investors and builders should position themselves to capitalize on the structural cost advantages and network effects of onchain FX, which is poised to become a default market for many currency pairs.
