In this episode of the DeFi Podcast, we sit down with Austin Barack, Founder and Managing Partner at Relayer Capital, to dive into the transformative intersection of AI and crypto.
Austin shares his journey from being a partner at CoinFund to his current focus on crypto AI, providing a first-hand perspective on the rapid evolution of AI agents and their impact on decentralised finance, meme coins, and gaming. We explore the emergence of permissionless platforms like VirtuOles, the rise of AI agents as key opinion leaders (KOLs) in crypto, and the innovative applications of AI in gaming, including intelligent NPCs.
Austin also provides a balanced view on the risks of overhyped AI projects, the valuation of tokenised agents like AIXBT, and the potential for AI to revolutionise DeFi through advanced intent-based frameworks.
Whether you’re a DeFi expert, a builder in the crypto AI space, or simply curious about the next big wave of blockchain innovation, this episode is packed with valuable insights into the cutting edge of crypto AI.
