New infrastructure primitives are creating entirely new rails for building.In this episode of Big Ideas 2026, we explore three foundational shifts that unlock new markets and workflows, not through incremental upgrades, but through primitives that compound over time.First, programmable money evolves beyond stablecoins into on-chain credit origination and synthetic financial products, offering lower operational costs and greater composability than traditional finance. Second, autonomy begins entering scientific research through collaborative labs, where AI reasoning models work alongside automation and robotics, and interpretability becomes essential for progress. Third, distribution itself becomes a primitive, as AI-native startups win early by selling to other startups at formation, then scale alongside the next generation of companies.You will hear from Guy Willette on the next phase of on-chain finance, Oliver Shu on autonomous labs and AI-assisted discovery, and James da Costa on the greenfield go-to-market strategy.Together, these ideas define what new infrastructure primitives really mean: the rails that enable entirely new systems to emerge, compound, and scale. Resources:Read more all of our 2026 Big IdeasPart 1: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-1Part 2: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-2/Part 3: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-3/Crypto Big Ideas: https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/big-ideas-things-excited-about-crypto-2026/ Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

In this episode of the Milk Road Show, onchain analyst Matt Crosby breaks down why Bitcoin's price action in 2025 confused almost everyone, and why that confusion is the point. ETFs, long-term holder selling, institutional demand, and shifting macro forces have quietly rewired how Bitcoin moves, flattening volatility while changing what bull and bear markets even look like.~~~~~

In this episode of 2B Bolder, I sit down with Sandy Carter, Chief Business Officer at Unstoppable Domains, former AWS and IBM executive, Forbes contributor, and author of AI First, Human Always.We talk about what it really means to take smart risks, build influence through visibility, and lead in fast-moving spaces like AI and Web3, even when you don't feel 100 percent “ready.”Sandy shares pivotal career moments, including a $5 billion bet that didn't seem obvious at the time, and the lessons she learned about arriving early, staying late, and taking ownership before permission is granted. We reframe visibility, not as self-promotion, but as credibility, narrative control, and leadership when the stakes are high.We also dig deep into what an AI-first, human-always mindset actually looks like in practice. Sandy explains why AI should start with business outcomes, not tools, and how leaders can redesign workflows, decisions, and customer experiences with AI as the lever, while keeping human judgment firmly in control. From pressure-testing arguments to accelerating research, we talk about where AI adds leverage and where humans must always own voice, values, and accountability.This conversation gets refreshingly real. Sandy shares stories about AI agents quietly changing their own limits, robots learning the wrong behaviors by watching humans, and why simple guardrails, human-in-the-loop oversight, logging, and escalation paths matter more than flashy demos. We also explore why building your own agents, not just relying on ChatGPT, is becoming essential for leaders who want real control and resilience.Finally, Sandy walks through the origin of Unstoppable Women of Web3 and AI and the powerful three-part formula behind it: education, tribe, and recognition, a model that has trained tens of thousands of women and dismantled the tired excuse of “we can't find qualified women.”If you're a senior leader navigating responsible innovation, or a rising builder wondering if now is the moment to step forward, this episode offers a clear message: lead while you learn, act before consensus, and put guardrails in place so innovation compounds instead of derails.If this conversation resonated, share it with someone who needs a nudge to be bolder, and leave a review telling me the bold move you're committing to this week.Resources: Sandy's Profile linkedin.com/in/sandyacarterBooksBySandy.comsocialmediasandy.wordpress.com/

In this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, Luke, Ash, and Tom take a culture-first approach to the creator economy, starting with a nostalgic dive into Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, Care Bears, and Voltron. What begins as a playful conversation about childhood media quickly becomes a lens for understanding fandom, incentives, and why people engage with content in the first place, drawing clear parallels to today's Web3 and social platforms.The discussion then turns to creator coins, tipping mechanics, and onchain social networks, with the hosts questioning whether these models genuinely support creators or simply add unnecessary complexity. Drawing on past Web3 experiments and real-world examples, they explore the tradeoffs between universal currencies and creator-specific tokens, the limits of tipping culture, and what sustainable creator monetization in crypto might actually look like.Check out our friends at Tequila 512:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tequila512.com⁠⁠Socials: ⁠⁠X (Twitter)⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Facebook⁠To learn more about ATX DAO:Check out the ⁠ATX DAO ⁠websiteFollow ⁠@ATXDAO⁠ on X (Twitter)Subscribe to our newsletterConnect with us on ⁠LinkedIn⁠Join the community in the ⁠ATX DAO Discord⁠Connect with the ATX DAO Podcast team on X (Twitter):Ash:  ⁠@ashinthewild⁠Luke: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Luke152⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tom: @Tommyg_25Support the Podcast:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share it with your network.Subscribe for more insights, interviews, and deep dives into the world of Web 3.

In this episode, I'm joined by Joe Rey (Founder & CCO), Oliver Fuselier (COO & CMO), Mykola Smorgun (CTO) from Popology Network.We talk about why curation might matter more than AI in a world of infinite content, how Popology uses a “meta search” to pull media from multiple platforms into curated popcasts, and how they aim to decentralize digital rights management by making users the curators and ledger operators.We also cover influencer-brand sponsorship selection, permissioned data ownership, and what they're raising to scale the platform.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Intro: Popology's mission – redesigning the attention economy, curation, and decentralized DRM. [00:02:00] Joe + Oliver's background: Decades in film/music video production and why they moved into Web3. [00:07:00] Finding the CTO: Why they needed “30,000 ft” technical architecture to scale the vision. [00:10:00] Core product: Meta search + drag/drop curation into popcasts across multiple content platforms. [00:11:00] DRM angle: Users become the “operators” by curating and ledgering content. [00:14:00] “Pathologists”: Viewers earn tokens and become members by engaging and logging in. [00:18:00] Big debate: Swipe algorithms vs intentional curation (and how they gamify adoption).

Send us a textPlayers were trading digital loot under trees in MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online  games) long before NFTs existed. That single image sets the tone for this conversation with Rudy Koch, cofounder of Mythical Games and veteran of Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, as we unpack what truly drives Web3 gaming forward: behavior, not buzzwords. We talk about how blockchain formalizes a desire that's been in games for decades and why the path to mass adoption starts with joy, fairness, and social connection, not a chain logo.We dig into the hardest problems builders face right now: user acquisition, player liquidity, and the messaging split between crypto diehards and the mainstream. Rudy explains why “market the fun, not the tech” is more than a slogan, and how platforms with built-in audiences change the calculus. Telegram emerges as the surprise winner, offering scale, a growing dev ecosystem, and browser-native access that lets teams ship fast, learn faster, and avoid million-dollar dead ends. We connect that trend to what's already proven in Asia with chat-first game ecosystems, and why Reddit, X, and WhatsApp are poised to become the next distribution rails.AI shows up as leverage on two fronts. Inside the studio, it compresses content pipelines and boosts prototyping speed for small teams. Inside the game, it acts like a tireless live ops producer, learning what each player loves and crafting hyper-personalized events, challenges, and offers that keep sessions fresh without relying on brute-force grind. The result is a practical playbook: pick platforms that grant liquidity, translate technology into clear player benefits, build community roles that matter, and iterate toward an experience that solves a real need.If this conversation helped you see the space with fresh eyes, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves games, and leave a quick five-star review so more builders can find it.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on November 20, 2025.

Kam Punia is the Founder and CEO of Pixion Games, the London based studio behind Fableborne and the $POWER gaming ecosystem.  Why you should listen In this episode, Kam Punia, founder and CEO of Pixion Games, shares his background as a long-time game industry veteran and explains how that experience shaped the studio's approach to building competitive, mobile-first games. He reflects on lessons learned from working on large global franchises such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, including how to scale game universes, balance progression, and design systems that keep players engaged over long periods of time. Kam also discusses the broader state of the gaming market and why mobile remains the dominant platform for global player hours. The conversation focuses on Pixion Games' flagship title, Fableborne, a mobile action RPG that blends fast-paced combat with strategic base building and asynchronous PvP gameplay. Kam explains the core mechanics of the game, including hero collection, kingdom defence, and raid-based progression, as well as the fantasy setting of the Shatterlands. He outlines how Fableborne is designed to be accessible for casual players while offering deeper strategic layers for more competitive audiences. Kam discusses how Web3 elements are integrated into Fableborne in a way that supports gameplay rather than replacing it. He explains Pixion's philosophy of optional blockchain participation, where players can enjoy the full game experience without needing to interact with wallets or tokens. The episode explores how Web3 can enable ownership, progression systems, and long-term incentives, while keeping onboarding friction low for traditional gamers. The discussion covers Pixion's partnerships and ecosystem support, including collaborations with infrastructure providers and investors that help power live operations, scaling, and community engagement. Kam shares insights into how Pixion thinks about player trust, controlled economies, and sustainable reward systems as part of building a long-lasting game. Finally, Kam looks ahead to the future of gaming, outlining why competitive, mobile-first experiences with strong live-ops foundations are likely to lead the next wave of innovation. He explains how community-driven content, evolving game worlds, and optional digital ownership can coexist with proven free-to-play models, and why experienced game designers will play a critical role in shaping the next generation of hybrid games.

What happens when the future of money stops being about speculation and starts being about people, ownership, and agency? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Dr. Friederike Ernst, co-founder of Gnosis, to unpack a conversation that goes far beyond crypto price cycles or technical hype. This is a thoughtful discussion about where blockchain is heading and, just as importantly, where it could go wrong if we are not paying attention. Friederike has spent more than a decade building foundational infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, from smart wallets to decentralized exchanges and blockchain networks that quietly power large parts of Web3. But as she explains, the industry is now standing at a fork in the road. One path leads to blockchain becoming a silent backend upgrade for banks and incumbents, improving efficiency while keeping power centralized. The other path is far more ambitious, using blockchain to return ownership, control, and financial agency to everyday people. We talk about why financial infrastructure, despite working reasonably well for many of us in Europe, remains deeply inefficient, expensive, and exclusionary at a global level.  A major theme of this episode is usability. Friederike is clear that technology only matters if it improves real lives. She explains why early blockchain products asked too much of users and how that is now changing, with experiences that feel as simple as using a neobank or debit card while preserving true ownership under the hood. The goal is not to make everyone a crypto expert, but to make financial tools that work seamlessly while remaining genuinely user-owned. We also explore the darker possibilities. Like any powerful technology, blockchain can be used to empower or to control. Friederike does not shy away from the risks of surveillance, social scoring, and misuse, and she argues that the real battle ahead is cultural, not technical. Values like privacy, free expression, and personal agency need to be defended openly, or the technology will be shaped without public consent. As we look toward 2026, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder that the future of money is still being written. The question is whether it will be owned by communities or quietly absorbed by the same institutions we already rely on. After listening to this episode, where do you think that future should land, and what choices are you willing to make to influence it?
