Kain Warwick on the Past, Present, and Future of DeFi

In this episode, we sit down with Kain Warwick, founder of Synthetix and one of DeFi’s earliest innovators. Kain explains how Havven became an early stablecoin system, how the team solved multi-asset debt tracking, and why oracle design shaped the project’s evolution. He walks through the challenges of synthetic assets, the rise of perpetual futures, and the shift toward hybrid on-chain/off-chain trading models. We also discuss lessons from Terra Luna, the 2019 oracle exploit, and how Infinex aims to simplify professional-grade DeFi trading.

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.
