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.
