    374: Inside OpenMatter: MPC, Agent Security, and the $0.02 Transaction Revolution with Guest Speaker Renee Davis from OpenMatter

    In this episode, I sit down with Renee Davis from OpenMatter to explore the intersection of AI agents and blockchain infrastructure. We discuss why 51% of internet traffic is already agents, the critical security vulnerabilities in tools like OpenClaw, and how multi-party computation (MPC) enables privacy-preserving machine learning. Renee explains why crypto is essential for the agent economy—hint: credit cards can't handle micro-transactions like a two-cent payment. We also dive into OpenMatter's three pillars: masked computing, MatterML, and DataVisor, plus what's coming in the next 12 months. If you're building with AI agents or curious about the convergence of Web3 and AI, this conversation is packed with insights. --- CONNECT --- OpenMatter: https://onboard.openmatter.network --- KEY POINTS WITH TIMESTAMPS --- • [01:42] Renee's journey from enterprise analytics to DAOs and AI • [03:11] AI and NLP have been around for decades—longer than most realize • [04:42] OpenMatter solves agent hosting, ZK safety checks, and output compliance • [08:17] Multi-party computation (MPC) explained: collaborative computing without sharing raw data • [10:08] 51% of internet traffic is already agents or bots • [14:42] Why agents need crypto: credit cards can't do micro-transactions like X402 can • [16:29] DataVisor: one-click agent deployment with OpenClaw, IronClaw, ZeroClaw templates • [19:17] Security guardrails for agents are still underdeveloped • [21:52] OpenMatter is built on lattice-based cryptography—post-quantum safe • [24:35] AI startups are in a bubble; many hinge on token prices from Claude or OpenAI • [28:03] Roadmap: mainnet launch, MPC updates, MatterML SDK release, and hackathons ---DISCLAIMER--- Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

    373: Building the Super App for Crypto Trading: Tony from Sumex Shares How They're Solving Fragmentation

    In this episode, I sit down with Tony from Sumex, an OG who's been in crypto since 2016. He shares how they're tackling one of crypto's biggest problems: fragmentation. From managing 20 browser tabs to trade across exchanges, to juggling wallets across different chains, crypto is a mess for most users. Tony walks through how Sumex aggregates CEXs, DEXs, DeFi protocols, and analytics into one intuitive platform. He shares lessons from raising seven figures, hitting $100M in trading volume in just four weeks, and why simplicity beats feature bloat every time. We also dive into what's happening in 2026, why this cycle topped on apathy, and what trends like RWAs and prediction markets mean for retail adoption. --- CONNECT --- Sumex Website: https://sumex.io/ Sumex Platform: https://app.sumex.io/ Sumex on Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/sumex --- KEY POINTS WITH TIMESTAMPS --- • [01:21] How Tony went from TradFi CFD and forex brokers into crypto in 2017 • [04:33] Running an ICO roadshow in 2018 and raising $12M during the boom • [06:16] The core problem Sumex solves: crypto tribalism, fragmentation, and steep learning curves • [07:17] Who Sumex is for: active crypto users across trading, investing, and DeFi • [10:51] How they focused on building the best trading terminal first before expanding • [15:25] Biggest technical challenge: every CEX and DEX has different APIs and documentation • [18:45] Key trends in 2026: RWAs finally have institutional support and legal frameworks • [22:35] Why this cycle topped on apathy and didn't bring in fresh retail blood like NFTs did • [28:56] The feature Tony is most hyped about: the connection manager that aggregates everything • [32:36] Four weeks in: 30,000 users, $100M in futures volume, and what's next • [34:37] Sumex raised seven figures in pre-seed and is looking for strategic investors Disclaimer Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

    370: FHE, Privacy, and the Future of On-Chain Transactions with Guest Speaker Guy and Kate from Fhenix

    I sat down with Guy and Kate from Fhenix to talk about something that's been missing from crypto since day one: real privacy. They're building a privacy co-processor using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) that lets you compute over encrypted data without ever exposing it. We covered why privacy is finally getting product-market fit, how institutions need confidentiality for payments and DeFi, and why AI agents will need private transactions. Guy shared his journey from Intel's Trusted Execution Environments to building Fhenix, and Kate explained why encryption should be the default, not an afterthought. We also talked about their shift from L2 to co-processor, their integration with Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base, and what's next for confidential smart contracts. If you've ever wondered why everything in crypto is public by default and how that's about to change, this episode is for you.  CONNECT Fhenix Website: https://fhenix.io Fhenix Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/fhenixio Web3 with Sam Kamani - Be a Guest: https://www.web3pod.xyz/ KEY POINTS  Guy's background at Intel building Trusted Execution Environments and his transition to founding Fhenix Kate's journey from cybersecurity engineering to crypto and why she sees it as the new Wild West Why Fhenix pivoted from building an L2 to a privacy co-processor What Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is and how it enables computation over encrypted data Privacy use cases in payments, DeFi, dark pools, and sealed-bid auctions Why institutional adoption requires confidentiality, not just anonymity How AI is improving FHE performance and lowering barriers to entry for builders • [00:00] The importance of private agent-to-agent payments in the AI era • [00:00] Why developers should learn fundamentals even in the age of AI coding tools • [00:00] Fhenix's roadmap: faster cryptography, more chain integrations, and enterprise partnerships • [00:00] Their incubator program and call for builders to experiment with privacy-first smart contracts Disclaimer: Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

    I sat down with Kat from Space and Time to talk about what real institutional adoption actually looks like. While crypto Twitter feels bearish, banks like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are hiring entire teams focused on digital assets. Space and Time has already onboarded over 100,000 students in Southeast Asia for verifiable education credentials, shipped a zero-knowledge proof for databases, and is working with major institutions on tokenized assets and compliant stablecoin reward distribution. We dive into AI-powered vibe coding, why surviving the bear market matters more than anything else, and why the next wave of builders will have access to on-chain data like never before.  --- CONNECT --- Space and Time: https://spaceandtime.io/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/space-and-time-db/ https://discord.com/invite/spaceandtimeDB Twitter/X - Space and Time: https://twitter.com/SpaceandTimeDB --- KEY POINTS WITH TIMESTAMPS --- • [00:00:00] Space and Time has onboarded over 100,000 students in Southeast Asia for verifiable education credentials • [00:02:00] Major university partnerships expanding in both Southeast Asia and the US • [00:03:00] Dream Space - AI vibe coding platform allowing non-developers to build apps and smart contracts • [00:04:00] Institutional adoption is the biggest growth area - stablecoin issuers, tokenized assets, major banks • [00:06:00] Despite bearish sentiment on crypto Twitter, institutions like JP Morgan, US Bank, Fidelity, and Goldman Sachs are more bullish than ever • [00:07:00] Banks are hiring entire teams of digital asset specialists, not just single roles • [00:09:00] 98% of stablecoin market is USDT/USDC, but new categories will emerge as adoption expands • [00:11:00] Marketing in crypto changes dramatically between bull and bear markets - focus on real value proposition and real customers • [00:14:00] Space and Time invented a patented zero-knowledge proof specifically for databases, making data computations fast and efficient • [00:18:00] Nearly $2 trillion of institutional capital waiting on the sidelines to enter crypto over next 2-5 years Disclaimer Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.
