Throwback to TOKEN2049 in Singapore, where Richard Muirhead took the main stage alongside Hugo Philion ( Flare Networks), Terence Kwok ( Humanity Protocol), Jamie Burke (Outlier Ventures), and Jake Brukhman ( CoinFund) to discuss "AI on the Ledger: Transforming Blockchain with Artificial Intelligence".
Touching on the critical need for substantial funding to develop sophisticated AI systems & the challenge of ensuring these technologies remain community-owned, not profit-driven.

We hosted along with our brilliant co-hosts, RSS3, NEAR Protocol, Aethir, Caladan and BACKED VC one of the most impactful Web3 x AI events at TOKEN2049 last week. 🇸🇬
We dove into Web3 incentives, unraveled AI agent payment complexities, and argued why open, decentralised AI beats closed systems.

Stoked to continue backing Cartridge as they build the best ecosystem for building provable onchain games and autonomous worlds!
When we first met Tarrence in 2022, the Web3 gaming narrative focused largely on “Web2.5 games” and the Cartridge vision was a bold one of putting entire games onchain. The team have pioneered the technical innovation necessary for truly onchain games with their Dojo stack + built a vibrant & growing ecosystem of 20+ studios
Excited to watch them showcase what's possible when you unlock enough verifiable compute to power the demanding use case: gaming

really enjoyed this thread from NFX on the other app about finding your "wedge" aka the niche your startup aims to dominate BUT it must be a springboard to a larger market
a good wedge is hard to find but creates relevant learnings as you grow 🌱
