    Coinpass - The UK Crypto Platform for Businesses

    Jeff Hancock is the CEO of Coinpass, a UK-based crypto exchange acquired by OANDA in 2023. He’s bringing crypto and traditional finance closer together in a secure, regulated way. Why you should listen ​​Born in London in 2018, Coinpass climbed the regulatory mountain early, securing an FCA crypto-asset registration and then catching the eye of multi-asset heavyweight OANDA, which snapped up a majority stake in August 2023. Now the exchange enjoys the deep pockets and risk-management chops of a global FX giant while keeping its Union-Jack credentials intact.  Coinpass is unapologetically business-first: corporate and SSAS pension accounts, OTC desks, Faster Payments for GBP, SEPA Instant for EUR, and a Fireblocks-secured custody stack. The offering tops out at roughly 18 coins across 50 pairs, with auto-trade DCA tools and a staking “Earn” programme. As the FCA’s May 2025 paper ushers in a tougher regulatory era, Coinpass is already playing the game two moves ahead—fully registered, audit-ready, and backed by OANDA’s deep balance sheet. Its curated asset list and institutional-grade spreads may forego meme-coin noise, but they deliver what CFOs and treasurers actually need: transparent pricing, instant GBP rails, and a compliance posture built to glide through tomorrow’s rulebook. While other exchanges scramble to retrofit governance, Coinpass stands out as the gold-standard gateway for UK digital-asset professionals—future-proof, rock-solid, and ready to scale.

    Pi Squared - The Verifiable Settlement Layer for AI and Crypto

    Grigore Roșu is a professor of computer science at the University of Illinois and a former NASA engineer, where he developed the K Framework - an open-source “Rosetta Stone” for programming language semantics. A day-one contributor to the Ethereum Foundation, he later founded Runtime Verification, now the leading formal verification company in Web3. In 2023, he founded Pi Squared with the vision of bringing the next million developers to Web3 by utilizing his revolutionary K Framework. Why you should listen Pi Squared solves the fragmentation and trust limitations of today’s blockchain infrastructure by enabling verifiable, cross-chain computation and settlement, so apps, agents, and protocols can interact across ecosystems without relying on bridges, centralized parties, or unprovable logic. It’s the missing trust layer for a modular, interoperable, and enterprise-ready Web3. Pi Squared’s core offering is its Verifiable Settlement Layer (VSL)—essentially a decentralized, programmable foundation that wraps any action (data storage, transactions, computation) into a cryptographically sealed “claim.” These claims are verified by a global network of validators, settled via their high-performance FastSet consensus protocol, and become instantly accessible across chains and environments—all without intermediaries or trust assumptions. VSL enables fast, provable, cross-ecosystem settlements—serving AI, blockchains, or any off-chain systems. Already live on devnet, Pi Squared showcases powerful use cases like cross-chain asset bridging (e.g., via Wormhole NTT), blockchain state mirroring, and auditable AI pipelines via Trusted Execution Environments. Their system dramatically reduces redundant computation in blockchains—one node computes and proves, and everyone else verifies in milliseconds—boosting throughput, slashing energy use, and minimizing vulnerabilities. Think verifiability everywhere—from remote compute and DeFi to AI inference—supercharged by formal-language-backed proofs. Pi² is stitching formal verification, zero-knowledge proofs, and cross-chain interoperability into one fast, composable layer. No fluff, no trust—just proof.

    Signals - Fixing NFT Launches

    Nick Sainato, the Co-Founder of Gamma, has just launched Signals to fix NFT launches. Signals is a first-of-its-kind go-to-market platform that uncovers hidden demand signals and helps determine a fair market price for items within any launch, on any blockchain, on any drop site. Why you should listen NFT launches are famously chaotic: dummy wallets farm allow-lists, creators guess at a mint price, and traders pray the gas-war gods are kind. Signals flips that script. Built by the Gamma team, the Signals platform lets any collection on any chain list a drop in a neutral pre-launch lobby where real bidders “signal” demand with its in-app Bars points, surfacing a genuine clearing price before a single NFT is minted. In other words, it replaces finger-in-the-air pricing with data-driven price discovery and a transparent view of market appetite. For creators, Signals works like a launchpad that actually understands their pain. Instead of cobbling together Discord bots, spreadsheets and three different mint sites, they spin up one Signals page and let the auction mechanic do the heavy lifting: it “crowdsources a fair market price,” shows how many wallets are willing to pay it, and locks those commitments in Bars. That means no more under-pricing your art, no more over-promising on a fat 10k supply, and—because Signals is chain-agnostic—no more rewriting solidity every time you switch ecosystems. The result is predictable revenue and a public demand curve you can point investors (and your community) at with confidence. For traders, Signals “kills the whitelist grind”: you don’t have to spam Twitter giveaways or write bad haiku in Discord for a shot at mint—just stake Bars during the signalling window and you’re in the price-discovery pool. Because the final mint price is the auction’s clearing price, everyone pays the same number, eliminating the FOMO-fuelled gas spikes and post-mint dumpage that plague most drops. Add the fact that Signals listings are chain-agnostic and verified by the Gamma marketplace, and you’ve got a launch flow that feels less like a casino and more like a proper primary market—still speculative, but finally transparent and, dare we say, civilized.

    Gaia - Decentralized AI Inferencing

    Shashank Sripada merges institutional rigor with systemic change. After managing $7B+ in assets and advising the White House, he co-founded Gaia to prove decentralized models can scale equitably. Gaia aims to empower anyone—from individual knowledge workers to domain experts—to build, launch, scale, and monetize their own AI agents. Why you should listen Gaia aims to empower anyone—from individual knowledge workers to domain experts—to build, launch, scale, and monetize their own AI agents. Each agent runs as a Gaia “node,” a lightweight, sandboxed runtime powered by technologies like WasmEdge, fine‑tuned open‑source LLMs, embedding models, vector databases, prompt management, a plugin system, and open APIs. This stack can be deployed anywhere (personal devices, cloud, edge), enabling agents that reflect the creator’s own style, knowledge, values, and expertise. Unlike closed‑box SaaS solutions (e.g., GPT‑4), Gaia nodes enable deep customization via fine‑tuning, RAG‑enhanced prompts, schema‑enforced outputs, and domain‑specific knowledge embeddings. This reduces hallucinations, cuts costs, and maintains data privacy. Users can build agents that speak and think like them, tailored to specific domains—far beyond generic LLM capabilities—and can interconnect to ingest external tools, memory systems, or APIs seamlessly.

    Obol - The largest Decentralized Operator Ecosystem in Ethereum

    Kody Sale (Head of Product) and Anthony Bertolino (Head of Marketing & Ecosystem) are leading Obol’s charge to scale the next generation of infrastructure networks. Together, they’re building the largest Decentralized Operator Ecosystem in Ethereum and Web3—powered by Obol’s groundbreaking distributed validator technology. Why you should listen Obol Network is building a decentralized staking infrastructure for proof‑of‑stake networks like Ethereum. Obol enables Distributed Validators (DVs): validator clusters made up of multiple operators who jointly run a validator, each holding partial key shares (via Distributed Key Generation). This setup boosts fault tolerance—if one or two nodes go offline or are compromised, the validator stays operational and the full private key is never concentrated in one place, significantly slashing security risk. Obol also integrates a rewards distribution mechanism, Obol Splits, that lets cluster participants define on‑chain how staking rewards are split—non‑custodial, transparent, and immutable. The Obol Stack is a plug‑and‑play framework that sits on Kubernetes and Helm, enabling users to deploy and maintain decentralized infrastructure—like Ethereum validators, full nodes, L2 sequencers, DePIN nodes, AI agents, and more—in an enterprise‑grade but user‑friendly fashion.  Whether you're a solo home operator or part of a global datacenter cluster, the Stack lets you package, version, and deploy your setup via Helm charts—then share or discover them through the Obol App Store. This means no wrestling with Bash, Docker Compose, or fragile scripts—everything’s containerised, composable, and ready to scale.
