Most tokenized real world assets still take 60 to 180 days to redeem. Most restaking protocols lock capital in silos that can't work across chains. COLLATERAL MARKETS INFRASTRUCTURE is what fixes both — and Symbiotic is building the layer that credit, insurance, and RWA liquidity are already running on. Misha Putiatin, Co-Founder and CEO of Symbiotic, breaks down why the restaking label undersells what Symbiotic is actually building, how Core V2's capital facilities let committed capital stay enforceable while earning yield between settlement events, and why immutable, permissionless infrastructure is the only design that institutions can actually trust. From how Symbiotic Instant Liquidity enables T+0 atomic settlement for tokenized assets with no pre-funded inventory, to why Cap Labs, Nexus Mutual, and Midas are all building on the same shared infrastructure — this is a clear look at what collateral markets actually mean for DeFi in 2026.
You'll learn:

• Why Symbiotic moved beyond restaking to collateral markets — and what that distinction changes for builders and capital allocators
• How Core V2 capital facilities work: vault capital that stays enforceable while deployed to Morpho and Euler, automatically recalled when obligations trigger
• How Symbiotic Instant Liquidity solves the RWA redemption problem — T+0 settlement with no idle capital and no pre-funded inventory
• Why immutable core contracts are a feature, not a limitation — and what it forces you to get right before you ship

Half of web traffic is already synthetic, and neither platforms nor enterprises have a reliable way to tell humans from AI agents at scale. VERIFICATION INFRASTRUCTURE is what Verona is building — and the rebrand from XION, announced June 17 alongside an $18.5M raise for flagship consumer app EarnOS and $30M in brand spend, is the moment that becomes a public priority. Anthony Anzalone, Founder and CEO of Verona, joins Ashton Addison on Blockchain Interviews for his third appearance on the show. Anthony breaks down exactly what the XION-to-Verona shift changes — and what stays the same. The Cosmos SDK, CometBFT, and CosmWasm stack that powered walletless, gasless consumer crypto now underpins a decentralized network of verified information designed for AI agent commerce. From how Ero, the new consumer app from EarnOS, lets users earn from verified activity without ever exposing raw data, to how 115+ global brands including Uber, Amazon, Nike, and BMW already use this infrastructure for 69 million verified interactions across 3 million users — this is the clearest look at what a verification and intelligence layer for AI agents actually does.

You'll learn:

• What changed and what didn't in the XION-to-Verona rebrand — how years of walletless, gasless infrastructure maps onto a new identity as a verification layer for AI agents
• How Ero works: what verified activity without exposing raw data means in practice, and what the $18.5M EarnOS raise is funding
• Why $VERONA's value is designed to track network revenue and usage rather than raw gas — and who's actually paying for the abstracted, gas-sponsored user experience

AI agents are already executing financial transactions autonomously — but the infrastructure they're running on was never designed for them. NEAR Protocol is building the settlement layer for the agentic economy: a blockchain where agents can express outcomes, route cross-chain transactions, and operate with built-in privacy guarantees — without a human in the loop for every step. Illia Polosukhin, Co-Founder of NEAR Protocol and co-author of Google's "Attention Is All You Need" — the 2017 paper that introduced the Transformer architecture behind ChatGPT, Gemini, and every major LLM running today — joins Ashton Addison on Blockchain Interviews. Illia breaks down how NEAR Intents lets agents express desired outcomes and have the protocol handle routing, bridging, and gas automatically; how IronClaw enables persistent, privacy-preserving AI agents with controlled access to user assets; and why NEAR just shipped a quantum-proof wallet upgrade at a moment when most of the industry isn't thinking about post-quantum security at all. You'll learn:

• How NEAR Intents works and why expressing an outcome rather than specifying a route changes what's possible for AI agents in financial workflows
• What IronClaw adds to the NEAR AI stack — persistent autonomous agents with privacy safeguards and controlled asset access — and who that's built for
• Why NEAR shipped a quantum-proof wallet and what the post-quantum threat actually means for crypto infrastructure timelines

Retail traders are structurally disadvantaged on every traditional order book exchange — stop hunting is real, the spread is a hidden tax, and most platforms give institutions tools that retail will never see. FAIR EXECUTION is what Ouinex is building, and it starts by removing the CLOB entirely.
Ilies Larbi, CEO of Ouinex, breaks down how the exchange's Fair Execution Engine eliminates the front-running and stop hunting that bleeds retail traders dry on most platforms. Ouinex is already live and regulated across 5+ entities, has raised $9M+ from over 5,000 community investors with zero VCs, and offers 500x leverage across crypto, stocks, indices, forex, commodities, and gold — all in a single platform. With TGE set for mid-June 2026 at $0.1334 and over 50% of $OUIX tokens already staked under a 3-year cliff, Ilies explains how the $OUIX flywheel works, why every trade on every asset class generates buyback pressure on a single token, and what it means to build an exchange that was financed, built, and optimized by traders.

You'll learn:
- What stop hunting is, why it keeps happening on traditional order book exchanges, and how Ouinex's Fair Execution Engine structurally removes it
- How the $OUIX flywheel works — why revenue from crypto, stocks, forex, commodities, and indices all feed into a single buyback mechanism
- What 50%+ of tokens already staked under a 3-year cliff means for supply dynamics heading into the mid-June TGE

AI hallucinations aren't a model problem — they're a data problem. When AI systems have no way to verify what's real in the physical world, they fill the gaps with guesses. And when AI agents act on those guesses autonomously, there's no record of what happened or why. DATA PROVENANCE is the missing layer, and XYO just shipped it. Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO, breaks down two major announcements: Data Lakes — now live at xyo.network/data-lakes — and a partnership with Theta Network that pairs XYO's verifiable on-chain data infrastructure with Theta's decentralized media and delivery layer. Markus explains why AI hallucinations are fundamentally a data provenance problem, what the absence of an audit trail means as AI agents become financial managers, logistics coordinators, and healthcare decision-makers, and how XYO's AI SDK lets developers add cryptographic proof to agent decisions and model outputs today. From why enterprise regulators are demanding verifiable data to what the XYO x Theta partnership creates that neither network could build alone, this is the accountability infrastructure conversation that AI needs to have.
You'll learn:

• Why AI hallucinations are a data provenance problem — and how XYO's verified physical-world data layer addresses it at the source
• What XYO Data Lakes unlocks for enterprises that need auditable, tamper-proof records of real-world operations and AI agent decisions
• How the XYO x Theta partnership combines verifiable data infrastructure with decentralized media delivery — and what that creates for developers building AI applications

The internet is filling up with bots, and nobody has built a reliable way to tell the difference between a human and an AI agent at scale. PROOF OF HUMANITY is what World is building — and its full-stack upgrade just became the identity layer for AI agent commerce. DC Builder, Research Engineer at the World Foundation, joins Ashton Addison on Blockchain Interviews to break down what changed in World ID's full-stack proof of human upgrade, how the AgentKit launch with Coinbase puts verified human identity at the core of AI agent transactions, and whether proof-of-humanity is possible without putting an iris scan at the center of it.
You'll learn:

• What the full-stack proof of human upgrade actually changed in World ID — and why it matters specifically because of AI agents, not just bots
• - How AgentKit uses zero-knowledge proofs to link AI agents to a verified human without exposing any personal data
• - What the Orb controversy gets wrong — and whether there is a credible path to proof-of-humanity that does not require a biometric scan

Private credit has a trust problem. Borrowers, lenders, and underwriters operate in silos, incentives are misaligned, and most of the $1.7 trillion sitting in TradFi private credit markets is inaccessible to anyone outside institutional finance. ONCHAIN CREDIT changes that — and Cap is building the infrastructure to make it work.
Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, Founder and CEO of Cap, joins Ashton Addison to break down how Cap brings private credit markets onchain with principal protection backed by Franklin Templeton. Benjamin previously scaled QiDAO from $0 to $400M in TVL and started his career in investment banking at Citi — a rare combination of TradFi credibility and DeFi execution. We cover how Cap's three-party model aligns borrowers, lenders, and underwriters in a way neither TradFi nor DeFi lending has managed, why this is structurally different from Celsius and the platforms that collapsed, and what happens at the protocol level when a borrower defaults.
You'll learn:
- How Cap's borrower-lender-underwriter model works and why principal protection changes the risk equation for lenders
- Why Celsius, BlockFi, and Voyager collapsed — and the specific structural differences that make Cap's approach fundamentally different
- What it took to bring Franklin Templeton in as the principal protection backer, and what that signals about institutional DeFi in 2026
- How onchain credit can sit alongside traditional fixed income at institutional scale — and what has to be true for that to happen

Bitcoin has $1 trillion in market cap sitting idle. The infrastructure to put it to work — natively, without bridges or wrapped tokens — has been the missing piece. OP_NET is building it. Samuel Pat, founder of OP_NET, breaks down how his team is bringing genuine DeFi utility to Bitcoin: a native DEX called Motoswap for peer-to-peer swaps and liquidity, a Bitcoin wallet built for the DeFi era, and an ecosystem being assembled on the world's most trusted chain. We dig into the velocity of money on Bitcoin — why BTC that can move through DeFi protocols creates compounding value versus BTC that just sits — and what it actually takes to build financial infrastructure on a chain that wasn't designed for it.

Most people manage their own crypto portfolio the same way they always have — manually, reactively, and without the tools that institutional investors take for granted. Wallet V changes that. Adam Cai from Virgo Group sits down with us live at Consensus Miami 2026 to break down Wallet V and the AI agents being built into it to act as autonomous financial portfolio managers for everyday users. We explore what it actually means for an AI agent to manage a portfolio — making decisions, allocating assets, executing strategies — without the user needing to intervene. Adam explains how this levels the playing field between retail and institutional crypto investors, and why the convergence of AI and Web3 wallets is the most practical application of agent technology happening in crypto right now.

Centralized AI infrastructure gives a handful of companies control over the data, compute, and models that everyone else depends on — and most builders have no way to verify what's actually happening under the hood. DECENTRALIZED AI is the alternative, and 0G Labs is building the infrastructure layer to make it real. Michael Heinrich, Co-Founder of 0G Labs, joins us live at Consensus Miami 2026 to break down why AI needs its own blockchain, what the Apollo launchpad is unlocking for AI-native projects, and how 0G's open-source infrastructure gives developers, agents, and communities real ownership over data and compute. From why existing chains like Ethereum and Solana fall short for AI workloads to what verifiable, trustless AI execution actually looks like in practice, this is a clear-eyed look at where decentralized AI infrastructure is headed.
You'll learn: Why AI workloads expose the limits of general-purpose blockchains and what 0G was built to fix How the Apollo launchpad works and what kinds of projects are being accelerated on the 0G network What open-source AI infrastructure means for developers who want to build without depending on centralized providers Why decentralized compute and data ownership are the two things that actually determine whether AI stays open
