   89 | Decentralized Compute vs Big Tech: How io.net Is Competing With AWS and Azure

   Today on Nephology, host Joe David sits down with David Sherman, Director of Brand and Communications at io.net, to explore branding at the intersection of AI and Web3, and how privacy in tech is reshaping the conversation around crypto. Having previously led content and communications for the Starknet Foundation and NEAR Foundation, David brings a rare cross-ecosystem view of how blockchain narratives are built and sustained. He shares practical insights on: What io.net actually does, and how to explain "decentralized AI infrastructure" to listeners who see crypto and AI as separate worlds What winning the narrative battle looks like when competing for share of voice against hyperscalers like AWS and Azure How decentralized compute, or DePIN, is turning idle GPUs into a global network, and how that story lands with enterprise buyers new to crypto What moving between Starknet and NEAR taught David about what makes a blockchain narrative stick versus fall flat How growing privacy concerns in tech are increasingly intersecting with the case for decentralized, crypto-based infrastructure We also discuss how David builds one brand voice that speaks credibly to developer, institutional and consumer audiences at once, how io.net tells a trust-building tokenomics story around its Incentive Dynamic Engine, and where David sees the brand battleground shifting next as AI, compute and trust increasingly converge. About David Sherman: David Sherman is Director of Brand and Communications at io.net, a decentralized AI infrastructure network. He previously led content and communications for the Starknet Foundation and NEAR Foundation, two of web3's leading Layer 1 ecosystems, and held senior brand roles at AppsFlyer and Kin Ecosystem.

   88 | The Compliance Trap: Elizabeth Anjorin on Why "Ready" Firms Rarely Are

   Today on Nephology, host Joe David sits down with Elizabeth Anjorin, regulatory and compliance consultant and Board Member at galore., to explore DeFi regulation, AI in compliance, and Africa's stablecoin opportunity. With over nine years of experience spanning TradFi, DeFi, Web3, stablecoins and AI, and having come into the space from the trading and institutional side rather than the legal track, Elizabeth brings a distinctive lens on where compliance is really working and where it's falling short. Elizabeth talks through what a trading background lets her spot that a lawyer-trained compliance officer might miss, and what she actually looks for when a firm walks in believing it's already "compliance-ready." With MiCA's twenty-two week application window opening in September, she sets out what firms should be doing right now, and at what point it's simply too late to bother applying. She also gives the one amendment she'd make to MiCA, and what she thinks will actually change in practice. On AI, she's candid about where it's genuinely working in compliance and where firms are getting it wrong. And on stablecoins, she digs into why Africa is having a real moment for payments and commodities settlement, what makes the continent such fertile ground for adoption, the first three questions she'd ask a Nigerian or Kenyan institution exploring stablecoin settlement, and where she'd advise an issuer to licence first over the next five years, plus which jurisdiction she thinks is most overrated right now.We also discuss galore.'s pivot into curated, invitation-only fintech and private markets events, why that intimate format beats a traditional conference for bringing decision-makers together, Elizabeth's boldest dated prediction, and the piece of received wisdom in crypto compliance she thinks is simply wrong. About Elizabeth Anjorin: Elizabeth Anjorin is a regulatory and compliance consultant with over nine years of experience across TradFi, DeFi, Web3, stablecoins and AI. She is a Senior Consultant at Tetractys Partners LLP and Owner of Arca Compliance, advising firms on FCA authorisation, cryptoasset registration, DeFi structures, stablecoin frameworks and MiCA readiness across jurisdictions including the UK, US, Dubai, Hong Kong and the EU. She also serves as a Board Member at galore., a curated events platform for fintech and private markets leaders.
