The next speaker is one of the unicorn founders with portuguese DNA.
@diogomonica has an impressive resume. It seems that one questions follows his carrer: how do you secure the systems that move real money?
At @Square (now known as @blocks), he worked on the infrastructure that moves over $200B in annualized payments. He holds dozens of patents in cryptography and payments, including one shared with @jack. At @Docker, his team built the container security layer that now runs inside every major bank, government system, and cloud provider.
He is a co-founder and chairman of @Anchorage valued at $4.2bn, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the US, and General Partner at @HaunVentures.
In the AI era, safe financial transactions have never been so relevant. AI agents need to touch money. Who decides if they can?

Yesterday we announced our MC and today we start announcing our lineup of speakers. And it starts loud.
First speaker: @benjaminbrandt - Staff Engineer at @zeddotdev, creator of the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).
ACP is why Claude, Gemini, Codex, Cursor and JetBrains can run inside any editor. No custom integration per tool. No lock-in. One open standard the whole agent ecosystem now builds on.
If you're shipping an AI coding tool today, you're building on something Ben created.
This is speaker one. We are just getting started.
