Social media has an identity crisis 😲. As AI agents and bots flood feeds, social only works if humans can be verified and identity and data are portable.

In our latest edition, we explore how trust, incentives, and ownership shift are evolving in the age of AI.

@321Converge #3 The prediction market landscape fractures

It’s no longer just @Polymarket vs @Kalshi. @opinionlabsxyz has already flipped Polymarket on volume (likely driven by incentives & farmers)

Robinhood has also entered the game and will immediately become a category leader

12/ All of the above is facilitating the convergence of Web2 and Web3 at blinding speed.

To follow the convergence of Wall Street and Digital assets I encourage you to follow the musings of @networkmedici president @maartjebus

3/ However, web3 is the inverse and entering the fat app phase

With overbuilt infra (e.g. L1/L2s, DA, etc.), blockspace is now abundant & cheap

It's time for a new gen of web3 apps - this time let's follow the mullet approach (i.e. web2 UI/UX on the front, web3 on the backend)

Big tech failed at building the personal health record — humans won’t upload manually, regulators won’t trust companies, & enterprises won’t share

Cryptography is the only viable path that makes this possible now. Who's building a patient-owned health record on @OpacityNetwork?

1/ This @money2020 Web3 was a main topic. Because blockchain is disrupting traditional finance rails. We wrote all about it in the latest edition of our newsletter

[Convergence Substack @321Converge]

5/ The Token Revolution is happening right before our eyes. Tokens underpin the future of AI, payments, crypto, identity, and more

@RibbitCapital dives deeper in their Token Letter

[Project Glitch @projectglitch_]

Technologies like zero-knowledge proofs, verifiable credentials, multi-party computation, and fully homomorphic encryption are "truly extraordinary," @neha said at the DC Privacy Summit. "But we need to be precise about what they can and can't do."

[Finality @FinalityCap]

Our Co-Founder and Managing Partner @adam_winnick joins the stage at @money2020 today to discuss how internet business models are evolving through identity ownership. If you’re in Vegas, be sure to stop by his panel at 2:10PM PT.

[Adam Winnick @adam_winnick]

Ownership defined the last American century. Blockchain can ensure it shapes the next one.

Thanks to @jeffjohnroberts and @FortuneMagazine for publishing my commentary on how verifiable data and compute can fundamentally redefine digital trust and ownership.

6/ Every cycle, control gets rebranded as innovation, but open, permissionless systems are the right way to architect the internet.

1/ ICYMI: We’re just returned from Singapore 🇸🇬 for #Token2049, where Web3, AI, and open networks collide.

October’s newsletter explored the battle between corporate control and permissionless innovation 🧵

[Convergence Substack @321Converge]

5/ AI’s next monopoly won’t purely be on the model layer. It’s about data lock-in.

Open protocols like Anthropic’s MCP help, but real user ownership comes from Web3: verifiable trust, enforceable permissions, and tokenized incentives.
