Privacy for Web3: Confidential On-Chain for Stablecoins, DeFi & RWAs | Francis Otshudi, iExec (#79)
<p>Privacy is becoming a critical layer for Web3 infrastructure — especially as stablecoins, DeFi, and RWAs move on-chain and attract institutional adoption. But how can decentralized systems ensure both transparency and confidentiality?</p><p>In this episode of the DePINed Podcast, host Tom Trowbridge, Co-Founder & CEO of Fluence, sits down with Francis Otshudi, CTO of iExec, to explore how privacy-preserving infrastructure is evolving in Web3.</p><p><strong>Together, they discuss:</strong></p><p>- How iExec uses Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to enable confidential computation on decentralized infrastructure</p><p>- Why privacy is not just about security, but about ownership of digital assets and data</p><p>- The shift from protocol-first thinking to productized platforms in DePIN and Web3</p><p>- How confidential stablecoins, private DeFi strategies, and privacy-preserving KYC can unlock institutional adoption</p><p>- Why iExec is focusing on Web3-native users first </p><p>This episode dives into one of the biggest challenges for decentralized compute today — making privacy usable, scalable, and compatible with real-world use cases.</p><p>🎧 Listen and watch the episode on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts and follow DePIN Space for more materials with founders building real-world decentralized infrastructure.</p>

Bitcoin Mining as Home Heat: Turning Compute Into a Consumer Product | Alex Busarov, Heatbit (#78)
<p>Bitcoin mining, energy efficiency and decentralized infrastructure are increasingly intersecting as new hardware models emerge.In this episode of the DePINed Podcast, host Tom Trowbridge, Co-Founder of Fluence, sits down <strong>with Alex Busarov, Founder of Heatbit</strong>, a company building home heating devices that mine Bitcoin.The conversation explores how Heatbit turns a simple physical principle — electricity becoming heat — into a new consumer hardware category. Instead of treating heat as a waste product of computation, Heatbit uses it as a primary function, effectively transforming Bitcoin mining into a household appliance.In this episode, they discuss:</p><p>- How Heatbit turns a space heater into a Bitcoin mining device</p><p>- Why compute always produces heat and how that changes energy economics</p><p>- The idea of distributed “home data centers” instead of centralized mining farms</p><p>- Why energy costs are becoming the dominant factor in Bitcoin mining</p><p>- Heatbit’s vision for making Bitcoin mining accessible to everyday users again🎧 Listen and watch the episode on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts — and follow DePIN Space for more materials with founders building real-world decentralized infrastructure.</p>

Asset-Backed Loans for Compute: Turning GPUs into DeFi Yield | Conor Moore, USD.ai (#77)
<p>GPU compute is becoming the core infrastructure layer of AI, but financing that infrastructure is still broken. Traditional lenders can’t efficiently underwrite small-to-mid GPU loans and the ABS market can’t move fast enough for hardware that depreciates in 3–5 years.In this episode of the DePINed Podcast, host Tom Trowbridge, Co-Founder & CEO of Fluence, sits down <strong>with Conor Moore, сo-Founder of USD.ai, </strong>a lending protocol building asset-backed GPU loans and turning them into a yield-bearing on-chain token.- Why GPU lending barely exists in TradFi and why private credit doesn’t serve the “missing middle”</p><p>- How on-chain rails make GPU credit “tradable day one,” bypassing slow securitization cycles</p><p>- What USD.ai’s loan terms look like: ~3-year duration, 70–80% LTV, ~7–15% rates depending on offtake quality</p><p>- Why non-recourse, asset-localized collateral (bankruptcy-remote SPVs + title) matters for compute operators🎧 Listen and watch the episode on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts — and follow DePIN Space for more materials with founders building real-world decentralized infrastructure.</p>
