“Proof of Collaboration = how strong the swarm is. Proof of Contribution = what each agent actually moved, with permanent on-chain audit trails.” Ron Bodkin (Founder, Theoriq) joins Sachi Miyasaki to break down trusted performance in Theoriq: actions are committed on-chain as non-repudiable evidence, and evaluators use transparent scoring rules over the full history—while the system stays open for specialized eval agents.

“What happens when someone inside one of the most iconic retail platforms of the last cycle sees its limits up close?” Kenzi Morikawa / 3061.eth speaks with Jay, Co-Founder of Sei, to trace the path that took him from the early days of Robinhood in Palo Alto — through hypergrowth, the IPO era, and the shock of the GameStop moment — to building in crypto. They discuss how witnessing the mechanics and constraints of traditional financial infrastructure firsthand reshaped his thinking, why the suspension of buys during one of retail’s most defining episodes left such a lasting impression, and how that experience ultimately pushed him toward systems designed to be more open, more resilient, and less dependent on centralized control.

“We focused on four core areas: finance, gaming, social, and entertainment — but DeFi on Aptos has seen the strongest traction.” Sachi Miyasaki sits down with avery.apt 🇺🇸 to unpack Aptos’ real-world use cases and why DeFi has emerged as the breakout category: the safety of Move, the composability that allows products to plug into larger protocols, and an ecosystem that is now beginning to hit meaningful momentum.

“High-performance infrastructure only matters if it expands what users can actually do onchain — and makes that experience accessible at scale.” Sachi Miyasaki sits down with Jay, Co-Founder of Sei, to examine why parallelized execution is becoming increasingly important for the next generation of onchain applications. From trading and DeFi to high-frequency user activity that simply breaks in low-throughput environments, they discuss how lower fees and greater execution capacity can fundamentally reshape the user experience — especially for smaller participants who are otherwise priced out. They also explore how this plays out in practice through projects like Bancor’s Carbon DeFi, where Sei has emerged as the ecosystem driving the strongest activity and volume, underscoring how performance advantages translate into real adoption.

“Bitcoin was the first distributed systems paper I read with an economic layer built into it — and that changed everything.” Kenzi Morikawa / 3061.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.

“Virtual machines are like cities — once they reach critical mass, they become magnets that are incredibly hard to displace.” Diksha Wells catches up with Jay, Co-Founder of Sei, to unpack this idea at a deeper level — why systems with flaws can still dominate simply because that’s where the activity, liquidity, and people already are. From New York and San Francisco to onchain environments like the EVM, they explore how network effects compound over time, why newer ecosystems struggle to pull users away even with better tech, and what it actually takes to break that inertia.

For me, it’s pushing Web3 forward — making blockchain a true public utility for everyone.” Diksha Wells 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.
