Before we get started, we'd like to thank our sponsors for making this event possible. Special thanks to our platinum sponsor, Olas.

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
I wanna, thanks for joining today. You know, we're here to chat crypto AI. It's a fairly broad topic, and and so today, I think it's best if we, chat through kind of what the the stack looks like and then dive into, where tokens play a role and and kind of what the current environment looks like and what people are excited about, in the coming months with a lot of interesting investments that I think we've all made, going live and thinking through, you know, particularly the role of the token in their specific ecosystems and and how they can be valuable. I think we'll start with, just going ar
Yeah. Thanks for having us, Jan. Shayan. I'm a partner on the investment team at Multicoin Capital. Spend a ton of time working on things that are, directly covering or adjacent to AI, both on the really early stage side and on the liquid side. Sort of big believer in the power of crypto capital markets and, how they can be helpful in capital formation and coordination for for AI resources and excited to jump into all that stuff today. Hey.
Mark Weinstein, general partner at Mechanism Capital. We made our first web 3 at AI investment, I think, in the summer of 2023. So have been doing my best to keep up with this extremely fast paced industry, which is as fast if not faster than crypto, and the convergence, of the 2 is a massive mental undertaking, and I'm excited to learn more from the other esteemed panelists here today. Tycho?
Alright. Well, yeah, thanks for having me, Jan and team. I'm an investor as well. And, yeah, like Mark said, I'm I'm excited to learn from all of you. I feel like, I I stay on my toes, and I lean in when I feel like I can learn new things. And, there's so much uncertainty that comes with AI, and I feel like it's been influencing every industry and every facet of my life. And I feel like this is invariably the future that we'll all have to live in and embrace. And so I come out of it from a point of view of just learning and trying to figure out how we can create a future that we all are sort o
everyone. My name is Ed Roman. I'm the cofounder and managing partner at HackDC. We're we're a registered investment adviser, so so we have to say this, like, silly disclaimer, which is that this is not investment advice, blah blah blah. Right? So you guys get that. I I love crypto AI. I actually come from an AI background. I I create a video game studio where I was the lead developer, and we used AI to figure out the Nintendo Wii motion controller and, studied, AI in college, at Cornell many years ago. So it's been kinda part of my life this whole time. I made a bunch of web 2 AI investments,
the intros. So, yeah, to begin with, I think it'd be best to to kind of describe how you each view the the crypto AI stack. I know there's kind of it's a a lot of moving pieces here, and and chances are it'll be viewed differently in a couple of months just based on kind of the the development and and the overlap that happens. So starting with with you, Ed,
