In this episode of the 0G podcast, Jax Dwyer sits down with David Sneider, co-founder of Lit Protocol, to explore the critical role of decentralized key management in the rise of AI agents. They discuss how Lit enables AI-powered agents to securely manage identity, execute financial transactions, and interact with Web3 applications—without exposing sensitive data.

David shares insights on the evolution of the agentic economy, the transition from apps to autonomous assistants, and the importance of building AI systems on decentralized rails rather than closed corporate infrastructure. They also dive into Lit’s upcoming product milestones, including the Lit Agent Wallet, decentralized memory, and the launch of Lit Protocol’s V1 network.

If you’re building AI agents, exploring decentralized key management, or curious about the next frontier of AI x crypto, this episode is for you.
