Instead, intent-based systems allow users to simply define the outcome they want, while specialized solver networks handle the complexity behind the scenes.\nThe conversation also explores Epoch's partnership with Miden and how programmable privacy enables institutions, businesses, and developers to execute transactions confidentially without sacrificing regulatory compliance. They discuss how privacy preserving infrastructure can unlock new use cases for payments, payroll, decentralized finance, and enterprise adoption.\nFinally, Akshit shares his vision for the future of AI-powered finance, explaining how intelligent agents, real world assets, and intent driven execution could fundamentally reshape how people and software interact with the financial system.\n\nThe conversation explores:Why intent based infrastructure could eliminate blockchain complexity for everyday usersHow solver networks execute transactions across chains without exposing users to technical frictionWhy programmable privacy is critical for institutional adoption of blockchain technologyHow Epoch and Miden are building privacy preserving execution for on chain financeThe growing role of AI agents in managing financial transactions and investment decisionsWhy real world assets, stablecoins, and tokenized finance are accelerating blockchain adoptionHow intent based systems could become the operating layer for the next generation of Web3 applicationsWhy the future of crypto...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vpEuAfjPdK-wDcHhqYiQw4VjsckbaPox0yUDwiaMCsg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82ZmI4/ZTgwY2E4YzI2Zjky/ZGRhZTVkZjIxMzU5/ZjFlNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
