AI makes intelligence digital. Crypto makes institutions digital. And if intelligence is becoming software, it’s going to need institutions that are software too. That intersection is where I’ve been spending most of my time, trying to understand, in the details, how these systems actually work: how consensus holds up,... how markets are designed, how governance behaves under pressure, where privacy fits, and what tradeoffs all of it forces. But most conversation in the ecosystem stays at the level of narratives. The mechanism stays implicit. And if we’re serious about building institutions for digital intelligence, we can’t treat design like a black box. So I’m launching TheCoordinate, a long-form podcast with the researchers and builders pushing the frontier where blockchain and AI meet. Some have shaped major systems. Some wrote foundational papers. All of them are expanding what’s possible at the intersection of intelligence and institutions. The format is simple: each episode I pick a topic, do the homework (read the papers, study the systems), then sit down with the people doing the work and ask the real questions, especially the parts I’m genuinely confused about, until we can build a clear mental model. If you want rigorous conversations about how digital intelligence and digital institutions can co-evolve, subscribe to TheCoordinate. First episode tomorrow. 🎙️🔜show more
