Connecting Blockchain Networks in Practice
Join us as we speak with Temujin Louie, CEO of Wanchain, about how blockchain interoperability supports the movement of assets and data across networks. This episode explores how cross-chain bridges operate, from lock-and-mint and burn-and-unlock mechanisms to the emergence of messaging-based interoperability. The conversation also covers bridge security, validator configurations, and common failure points, as well as how interoperability is evolving alongside enterprise adoption and increasingly complex multi-chain ecosystems.

Palmyra: Building Fair and Traceable Supply Chains on Cardano
In this episode, we speak with Sam Lambert and Theodore Morisis, the founders of Palmyra, a Cardano-based platform bringing transparency and fair access to global commodity markets. They explain how Palmyra helps farmers capture verifiable supply-chain data, meet regulations like EUDR, and connect directly with buyers through its traceability tools, B2B marketplace, and consumer storefront. The discussion also highlights lessons from their Zambian pilot, offline-first design for low-connectivity regions, and why Cardano’s security and reliability provide a strong foundation for mission-critical trade infrastructure.
Inside the Future of AI and Blockchain with Don Tapscott
In this episode, we sit down with Don Tapscott, author of Blockchain Revolution and a leading voice on digital transformation. Don introduces the concept of “identic AI,” a new phase where personal AI agents become part of our identity and must remain self-sovereign to protect human agency. He outlines how we can decentralize the AI stack—from compute and data to models and logic—using blockchain, DPIN networks, and open governance. We also explore the risks of centralized AI, the parallels to past technology cycles, the future of public digital infrastructure, and Don’s vision for universal basic AI as a public good.
