Why Most AI x Crypto Projects Miss The Point with Sandeep Nailwal

AI agents need blockchains. Most AI crypto projects miss why.

In this episode of AI Supercycle, Sandeep Nailwal, Co-Founder of Sentient and Founder of Polygon challenges the AI x crypto narrative.

We explore why the overlap is smaller than expected, how blockchain serves as payment rails for agents, Sentient's reasoning framework, and why most "AI crypto" projects miss the point.


We discuss:

- Why AI & Crypto Have Less Overlap Than Expected

- Sentient's Open-Source Reasoning Framework

- The Arena: Battle-Testing AI Agents

- Building Multi-Decade Sustainable Companies

- Polygon's Strategic Payment Acquisitions

- Token Economics for AI Protocols
