“Bitcoin was the first distributed systems paper I read with an economic layer built into it — and that changed everything.” Kenzi / 2569.eth catches up with avery.apt 🇺🇸, Co-Founder & CTO of Aptos, to trace his journey from high-performance computing and supercomputers, to scaling data infrastructure at Meta, to discovering Bitcoin and realizing that crypto was distributed systems with incentives natively embedded — the insight that ultimately led him to co-found Aptos Labs.

“What happens when AI infrastructure stops chasing everything — and focuses on making intelligence actually reliable?” Sachi Takahara / 0699.eth joins Karan Sirdesai (Karan), Founder of Mira, for a deep dive into how Mira is taking a sharper path in decentralized AI: high-trust, reliable intelligence as the core product. They break down why Mira isn’t trying to be another full-stack AI protocol, how it differs from networks like Bittensor, Ritual, and Sahara, and why its narrow focus could make it easier to plug into the broader AI infra ecosystem instead of competing with every layer. The conversation also dives into Mira’s reliability model — from core tech to node-level consensus — and why the future of AI APIs may depend less on raw model access, and more on whether users can actually trust the intelligence they receive.

“What inspires you to get up and build every day? For me, it’s pushing Web3 forward — making blockchain a true public utility for everyone.” Diksha Arden sits down with avery.apt 🇺🇸 (Co-Founder & CTO of Aptos) to talk about what drives him: building the next era of the internet where blockchain brings ownership back to users and enables permissionless, trustless transactions that connect people globally.

“What does it take to build when nobody expects you to win?” Kenzi / 2569.eth speaks with @ruschimanche, Co-Founder of Movement, to trace the story behind Movement Labs — from broke Vanderbilt dorm-room founders with $100 to their name, to building one of the most talked-about teams in crypto. They discuss the underdog mentality that shaped Movement from day one, why competing against polished researchers and established teams created a permanent chip on their shoulder, and how that scrappy internal drive still defines the company today. From go-to-market and ecosystem growth to the fight for attention, liquidity, projects, and blockspace, this episode explores what it means to wake up every day trying to be number one in one of the most competitive markets in Web3.

“Back in 2016–17, crypto felt like a true idea factory — hundreds of experiments, zero gatekeeping, and pure creative energy.” Our host Diksha Arden sits down with Michael Heinrich (Ø,G), Founder of 0G Labs (Home of Infinite AI), to explore one of the most exciting parts of building in Web3: a culture shaped by experimentation first. They also dive into how tokenization creates new ways to fund and sustain projects — including open-source work — beyond the limits of the traditional Web2 business model.

“What happens when the limitations of today’s rollup architectures become impossible to ignore?” Sachi Takahara / 0699.eth catches up with rushi, Co-Founder of Movement, to break down why current optimistic and validity rollups still struggle with slow withdrawals, fragmented state guarantees, and security bottlenecks — and how a new state-focused architecture aims to solve them. They discuss how economic security and validator-based slashing mechanisms can create near-instant settlement guarantees between rollups, why shared sequencing changes interoperability across L2s, and how native-token staking models could replace traditional fraud-proof assumptions. The conversation also dives deep into the Move language and Move Prover, exploring why formal verification matters, how tiny arithmetic mistakes in Solidity continue to cause massive exploits, and why runtime verification could fundamentally change smart contract security. From integer overflows to real-world attack vectors, they explain how Move was designed to act like an “auditor at runtime” for blockchain applications at scale.

AI doesn’t need another isolated model. It needs a network where intelligence can compound. Kenzi / 2569.eth in conversation with nick, Co-Founder of Allora, on breaking AI out of silos, turning fragmented models into collective intelligence, and building the coordination layer that could move AI beyond the control of a few monoliths.

“What happens when AI becomes the backbone of the internet?” Diksha Arden sits down with Karan Sirdesai (Karan) , Founder of Mira, to unpack the future where AI doesn’t just give us information, it starts thinking, acting, and making decisions for us. They break down the upside of “infinite hires,” 90% of our cognitive work moving beyond humans, and a productivity shift that could make today’s jobs look outdated. But the same thing that makes AI powerful also makes it dangerous: overreliance, catastrophic mistakes, malicious agents, and a new alpha species humans have never had to coexist with before.

Web3 and AI are both hitting an inflection point at the same time. AI is redefining intelligence, automation, and how people interact with technology. Crypto is building the economic rails for that intelligence to coordinate, transact, and operate in open networks. Diksha Arden in conversation with nick (Co-Founder, Allora) on why the overlap between AI and crypto may become one of the biggest design spaces of the next decade — and why we’ve barely scratched the surface.

“Gary Gensler was teaching a class while I was on campus. I skipped it—and I’ve regretted it ever since.” Kenzi / 2569.eth links up with Anna Kazlauskas, founder of vana, about those small early moments that quietly shape how you think—like brushing up against future regulators, and realizing way too late which conversations you should’ve been in the room for.

“Honestly, I think we’re just a few months away.” Diksha Arden catches up with David Minarsch ☴ on how close AI agents really are to mass adoption — even for beginners and DeFi users. From being deep in technical papers on agent systems to building in the space full-time, he breaks down why the timeline is compressing fast — and why the real challenge isn’t the tech, but aligning people around it.
