For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved?

At a windy NEARCON conference we discuss the important stuff when it comes to security and blockchains. One of the most important areas in the blockchain space is around testing smart contracts. Since everything is reliant on code, the key is to identify potential holes in contracts, which could lead to massive breaches or losses of money. Immunefi is a place where hackers and companies meet to help find bugs in code and reward the white hat hackers for saving a smart contract from getting exploited.
In this discussion, we talk how this works, where it's going, and even touch on the latest issues around Tornado Cash, regulation, and which parts of the world are leading.

We are touching on cybersecurity today. What are the latest scams and technologies that are being used to help people part ways with their assets. It's unfortunate, but staying aware and vigilant is key. We focus on how you can stop the madness once it has started, with Andy Maus, Head of Cyber Recovery Services at DriveSavers. Ransomware attacks increased by 32% from Q3 to Q4. The fourth quarter was marked by new players emerging and established groups adjusting their strategies. In 2024 alone, 55 new ransomware groups emerged — a 67% increase in group formation from the previous year — indicating a rapid proliferation of smaller, more agile players in the cybercrime ecosystem.

Today we discuss how emerging technology help help better verify someone is who they say they are. It's no easy task. Humanity Protocol, founded by Terence Kwok, is a decentralized, privacy-first digital identity blockchain, which has launch of Humanity Foundation, an initiative to advance decentralized identity technology and foster global adoption of Proof of Humanity solutions. The Foundation will be led by its founding directors, Yat Siu, Chairman of Animoca Brands, Mario Nawfal, Founder of International Blockchain Consulting, and Yeewai Chong, a seasoned investment professional from Morgan Stanley and Ortus Capital. Humanity Foundation will serve as the driving force behind Humanity Protocol’s ecosystem, with a mission to fund innovation, incentivize community growth, and explore transformative use cases for decentralized identity. At the core of Humanity Protocol is its Proof of Humanity framework, which kickstarts identity verification with privacy-preserving biometrics to establish human uniqueness. This foundational layer provides a secure and sybil-resistant way to authenticate users while preserving their privacy. Building on this biometric foundation, Humanity Protocol enables users to layer additional credentials—such as educational qualifications, employment history, and social reputation—onto their verified identity. This creates an extensible, decentralized, and open identity layer that empowers users to take ownership of their data and interact confidently across digital and physical domains. “Biometrics provide the ideal starting point for building a secure, decentralized identity system,” said Yeewai Chong, interim CEO of Humanity Foundation. “By anchoring Proof of Humanity in biometric verification, we unlock a world of possibilities for integrating diverse human attributes into a single, privacy-first identity framework.” Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

As someone who has overseen teams of customer success and service, this was a very interesting conversation. We are at a point where many of these human services can be replaced by machine. Listen to what is happening now with Dimitri Masin, CEO and Cofounder at Gradient Labs’. While AI-powered customer service isn’t new, regulated industries have been left behind due to strict compliance requirements and the high cost of mistakes. AI customer service agents can achieve 80-90% resolution rates, 75% cost savings, and a 98% quality assurance pass rate (compared to 90% for humans), outperforming both human agents and traditional bots.

This was a wonderful opportunity to speak with Holly Levanto, VP in Booz Allen’s AI practice about the current and future uses of AI. Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming military operations and strategies, offering unprecedented capabilities in areas such as surveillance, data analysis, and autonomous systems. AI-driven technologies can enhance decision-making processes, improve the precision of weaponry, and optimize logistics, leading to more efficient and effective military actions. However, the integration of AI into the military also raises ethical and security concerns, particularly regarding autonomous weapon systems and the potential for unintended consequences. As nations continue to invest in AI research and development, the future of military operations will likely be shaped by the balance between leveraging these advanced technologies and addressing the associated risks. Ultimately, the responsible use of AI in the military could lead to enhanced security and stability, but it requires careful consideration of ethical standards and international regulations. Holly Levanto brings digital, analytics, and AI capabilities to Booz Allen clients, with more than a decade of experience supporting the Department of Defense (DOD) and other U.S. federal agencies. Her background includes working to advance digital readiness, adoption, strategy, workforce, and data-driven organizational transformation. In leading the delivery of AI domains, Holly applies a breadth of expertise spanning resilience, human performance, military readiness, health, and operations. As an AI adoption lead for Booz Allen’s chief technology team, Holly oversees the delivery of advanced solutions to enable the AI and digital transformation of U.S. defense organizations. In this role, she leads acceleration of digital and AI adoption for key DOD mission commanders operating worldwide. She oversees a team that is translating new data analytics capabilities into decision advantage for the warfighter at the edge in pursuit of Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). In addition, she drives the firm’s strategy and engagement of solutions in DOD’s Chief Digital and AI Office. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Are you sleeping on the potential of NFTs? Today I had a fantastic chat with Zach Burks, CEO & Founder at Mintable . As we all know now, NFTs, or non-fungible tokens are a derivative of blockchain technology. The mania peaked in 2021 with the likes of Bored Apes and CryptoPunks, the latter is still seen as the original grail in the industry, but even Punks have dropped in value from their highs. Beyond art, we are going to dig into where NFTs are going from here with institutions adopting this nascent technology. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Today we focus on migration and technology, and the people caught in the middle. My guest, Petra Molnar, has written: The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence offers a global story of the sharpening of borders through technological experiments while also introducing strategies of togetherness across physical and ideological borders. Based on years of researching borderlands across the world, lawyer and anthropologist Petra Molnar’s The Walls Have Eyes is a truly global story—a dystopian vision turned reality, where your body is your passport and matters of life and death are determined by algorithm. Examining how technology is being deployed by governments on the world’s most vulnerable with little regulation, Molnar also shows us how borders are now big business, with defense contractors and tech start-ups alike scrambling to capture this highly profitable market.

1 Unlocking Digital Asset Value: Ledn's Crypto-Backed Loan Revolution with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo 26:57
Did you know that if you are a holder of digital assets, you can take a loan out against those tokens? Ledn is a company that offers this service. I met with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, Co-Founder and CSO of Ledn for a dynamic conversation about how this works. More about the company from CoinDesk: Cryptocurrency lending company Ledn is offering customers crypto-backed loans where all the assets remain locked up with a qualified custodian, as the company adapts its centralized finance approach to a post-FTX world. Ledn has done a brisk trade in standard loans to date, where bitcoin (BTC) posted as collateral can be further lent out to subsidize the loan. The firm has processed some $635 million of retail loans backed by Bitcoin, and over $4 billion on the institutional side. “The collateral must be held in custody, and that will always be a qualified custodian, whether that is with BitGo, or one of our banking or credit fund partners,” said Ledn co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo in an interview. “This is the first time this type of loan, which is done through a centralized entity that can offer 24 hour disbursements, is being offered outside the U.S. to international customers.” Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

If you have ever wondered what the minds behind the biggest hardware wallet are like, this is for you. What an amazing conversation with Ian Rogers, CXO at Ledger . We dove into their newest kid on the block, Ledger Stax. In this video we get our first hand-on with the device as it hits the mitts of the early adopters. From Ledger: Web3 is all about digital freedom. But with freedom comes responsibility. Put simply, a crypto wallet is an interface that allows you to access and manage your funds on a blockchain. It acts as a sort of control panel, showing you exactly how much crypto you have. Plus, it allows you to communicate with the blockchain, sending and receiving valuable digital assets. You might say that your crypto wallet is the bridge between you and your crypto funds on the blockchain. However, despite the name, a crypto wallet does not contain your coins or tokens – those stay on the blockchain itself. Rather, its purpose is to secure the all-important private keys that allow you to access your blockchain address, and everything stored there. To understand how that works, let’s first look at what a crypto wallet is for. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come! Subscribe and prepare for the new world.

I was delighted to have Gerald Heydenreich, Founder of EtherMail . In case you have not heard, interactions with NFTs, cryptocurrency, and all things blockchain can be a bit painful to control. Not anymore! Recently EtherMail launched its Email-as-a-Wallet (EaaW) solution, enabling users to create non-custodial wallets through Gmail or Apple accounts in under one minute – broadening the accessibility of blockchain-based applications and services to billions of users worldwide who currently don’t have a digital wallet. EtherMail has over 500,000 users and announced a $4 million funding round led by the powerhouse of Tim Draper and Draper Associates last year. Email-as-a-wallet provides a familiar and easy entry point for users to explore the Web3 space, and seamlessly buy, send and receive digital assets, while circumventing the steep Web3 learning curve. Email as a wallet includes a ‘know what you sign’ feature, allowing users to review transaction details as an email before signing the transaction. This was an amazing discussion where we touched on the potential of blockchain and how to onboard the masses. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

This company is one of the OG in the industry. I really enjoyed this conversation with Daniel Fogg, CEO at RootstockLabs . We met at the recent Consensus conference in Austin. Their combination of history with Bitcoin and what they are doing to build decentralized applications by bringing Ethereum smart contracts to Bitcoin. This will only better grow the ecosystem for years to come. From the company: RootstockLabs is led by our mission to give developers the tools to build on Bitcoin, support the growth of the Rootstock ecosystem, and expand the frontiers of decentralized technology. Our History In 2009, Bitcoin made financial transactions without intermediaries possible for the first time, treating all users as equals. From early in its journey, members of RootstockLabs were already contributing to Bitcoin’s development. In 2015, the Rootstock Whitepaper was published by a group of Argentinian engineers and entrepreneurs as a way to solve real problems with an economy that was failing them. Launched as the first Bitcoin sidechain, Rootstock brought Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities to Bitcoin for the first time, while making transactions cheaper, faster, and more scalable. In 2017, RootstockLabs was born from our belief that Rootstock would be critical for Bitcoin to reach civilization scale. In 2019, we launched the Rootstock Infrastructure Framework (RIF), a set of decentralized protocols that make it easier, faster and more rewarding for developers to build cutting edge products and services on Bitcoin using Rootstock. Today, Rootstock is home to a thriving ecosystem of apps and services that are cryptographically, philosophically and economically aligned to Bitcoin. RootstockLabs exists to serve the growing community building on Bitcoin using Rootstock and RIF technology. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Today we’re venturing into Web3 gaming. Backed by a team of creatives from LucasFilm, Disney, Activision among others, we’re diving into a brand new game about to launch (in Closed Beta) called MetalCore. I spoke with Dan Nikolaides, CTO of MetalCore , which is a multiplayer combined arms shooter, and is one of the first games built on Immutable zkEVM live on MainNet. The game combines high-quality traditional gaming comparable to Destiny and TitanFall with true asset ownership. Set in a dystopian alien world, the game is visually inspired by titles such as Star Wars and was designed by acclaimed science fiction and fantasy artist Stephan Martiniere — best known for his work on Star Wars, Tron: Legacy, and Star Trek.
