Before we get started, we'd like to thank our sponsors for making this event possible. Special thanks to our platinum sponsor, Olas. Olas enables everyone to own a share of AI, specifically autonomous agent economies. We're also excited to highlight our silver sponsors, NEA, empowering decentralized applications and blockchain ecosystems. Venice AI, a private and uncensored alternative to popular AI apps. MIRROR, unified AI infrastructure secured by crypto. And Therick, the first on chain multi agent system. To learn more about all of our sponsors, check the description below and dive in. Enjo
Alright. Welcome everybody to Delphi's decentralized AI conference. This is the coordination panel conversation. I'm joined by Nick Evans, who's the cofounder of Alora, and Himanshu, who is the cofounder of Sentient. Welcome to you both. Yeah.
Thanks for having us. I
wanted to start with with a bit of a fun question. We we were just talking offline about this, but one of the, hottest topics in crypto AI land right now, is kind of the rise of these, Twitter bots essentially, that are controlled by an offline l l m, and are some are now, you know, trading on pump fund or interacting with people on Twitter. I'm curious, you know, you 2 are are 2 of the, you know, come from 2 of the more prominent crypto AI projects in the space. What do you kind of make of this? Is this like a is this just like a passing fad? Is it like a meme? Or is it a sign that we've kind
a signal that, like, AI people are now paying attention or that they are at mass, and and it's a sticky thing. I do think it's it is the kind of, like, clear direction crypto and AI is going to move in. I think crypto enables such a a kind of wider breadth of different financial interactions to take place in a more kind of autonomous or codified environment. And I think on the back of that, agents are this this, like, very useful actor to kind of take the reins from, the human actors that have been kind of the de facto users of crypto today. And so I think this this trend of AI agents being th
what about you? Have you have you been following this with, like and maybe maybe a broader question here. If if this isn't, like, the tipping point for what excites the the public, you know, maybe more more traditional AI people in crypto, is there something else that you're kind of waiting for, for, like, that watershed moment? Or do you think, like, this might be it? I
don't think this is the watershed moment for sure. It's exciting. I I would say it's exciting. I don't think it's not exciting. Anything like this is exciting in crypto. But but, personally, I think that if you have just, ML algorithms running meme coins, it's not AI. It's it's the ML part of it. Then the whole fun of meme coins will go away, by the way. Nothing will nothing will be left there. So so so the so the whole point is that, the human element of what you want to interact with. If you're just interacting with bots, this is just a bot, then it goes away and and then becomes very hard t
an interesting thought. Coins with personality. I I hadn't, hadn't considered that before. You you guys both bring up a good point. You know, the fact that crypto enables, these agents to, transact permission permissionlessly, accumulate resources, access to the global financial system. I think one thing that this whole goat goat saga has kind of, one lesson that I've drawn from it is that the kind of coming age of agents will be far more there will be, like, a lot of gray area. Like, you know, I used to think that it'd be like a light switch, and all of
