  • $XRP, $OMNI, and RWAs with OMNI Network CEO Austin King (@0xASK)

    Full conversation with @0xASK cofounder at @OmniFDN below

    There are some very good insights made by Austin in this convo that I'm really happy we went into because they definitely make you think hard about how the functionality of the future of the blockchain will actually operate. It was also a great sell on why @Ripple is worth paying attention to and how they are playing their specific part in creating the future of finance along side companies like Omni. Such a good sell that he convinced me I should add both to my portfolio.
    Some key talking points:
    - Omni is building cross-chain infrastructure to make DeFi more accessible, aiming to hide chain complexity from users
    - Order flow, not L1s, will capture the most value in crypto - challenging the common belief that base layers will accrue most value
    - Real world assets (RWAs) are likely to migrate on-chain in stages, starting with simpler assets like stablecoins before moving to more complex instruments
    - Austin believes L2 fees have largely moved away from Ethereum L1, suggesting the "fat protocol" thesis may be incorrect
    - The project currently supports Ethereum L1, Base, Arbitrum and Optimism, with Solana integration coming soon
    - Omni functions like a "bulletin board" where users post what they want to do, and sophisticated parties bid to execute those actions
    - Specifically how regulation can be massively positive for crypto, enabling traditional asset integration

  • Virtuals.io AI Agents and Launchpad with Cofounder @Ethermage

    Full conversation with @ethermage from @virtuals_io which was incredibly fun and thought provoking. Each of these conversations with AI founders in the space shows the variety in how they are approaching their end goals and how different each really is.

    Some fun talking areas include:
    Virtual aims to create a "network state" where AI agents and humans coexist, targeting GDP levels of small nations
    Launchpad will eventually allow any token choice instead of just ETH on Base and be a viable alternative to pumpfun AI projects
    Platform gives creators ongoing cashflow from trading fees, unlike competitors (pumpfun) requiring token sales to profit
    Virtual's agents are proactive with their own goals, unlike typical reactive AI agents (massive application to gaming)
    Recently demonstrated agent-to-agent commerce through a pizza order coordinated between two AI agents
    Sees major potential in AI influencers who can maintain personalized relationships with thousands of fans
    Developing protocols to reduce "information loss" in agent-to-agent interactions
    Assistant agents like a sports betting agent combining commentary and betting for the $1T betting industry - targeting massive TAM opportunities
