At Consensus in Miami, Megan Nilsson sits down with Alexis Sirkia, Co-founder of Yellow and Co-founder of GSR, to explore one of blockchain's biggest unanswered questions: trust. Alexis shares his journey from building one of crypto's earliest market makers to developing Yellow, a protocol that enables trustless peer-to-peer transactions for institutions and AI agents. The discussion covers decentralisation versus trust, institutional adoption, blockchain infrastructure, state channels, AI-powered economies, and why the future of Web3 depends on solving real-world settlement challenges. Discover how Yellow aims to reshape digital commerce beyond traditional blockchain models.

Host: Megan Nilsson (AKA Crypto Megan)
