EPISODE DESCRIPTION
I sat down live at Token2049 in Singapore with Albert and Eitan, the co-founders behind Aeredium , a blockchain rebuilt from absolute first principles. They ignored everything that existed, started from zero, and came up with something genuinely different: 250,000 transactions per second, 40-millisecond finality, no human validators, no MEV, and an AI that continuously hunts for attack surfaces in real time. They also just received a US patent for autonomous AI auditing of stablecoins. We talked about why institutions are slow to adopt but are starting to come around, how AI agents are about to flood blockchains with transaction volume humans could never match, and why blocks per second matters far more than TPS alone. If you care about where institutional-grade crypto infrastructure is heading, this one is worth your time.

KEY POINTS WITH TIMESTAMPS
• [00:00] Albert and Eitan tease Aeredium's core stats: 250,000 TPS, no human validators, and a US patent for AI stablecoin auditing
• [01:13] Recorded live at Token2049 Singapore , Albert explains why he rebuilt a blockchain from absolute first principles, ignoring all existing designs
• [03:49] Eitan breaks down what financial institutions actually need: privacy, speed, instant settlement, and why existing chains fail to deliver
• [05:30] Aeredium is EVM-compatible, meaning existing Solidity smart contracts work out of the box and token listings take around 20 minutes
• [06:10] The Aeredium Key (AR Key) , a signature engine using CGGMP24 cryptography that powers a full policy engine for safe AI agent trading
• [07:48] Why building for institutions first means retail automatically gets a better product , but not the other way around
• [09:07] Institutional response so far: many don't understand it yet, but banks are starting to onboard on the sandbox; a HalfMoon audit was completed successfully
• [11:00] The biggest credibility challenge: it sounds too good to be true , so Aeredium is using patents, live AWS deployments, and real-time on-chain audits to prove otherwise
• [13:03] Scaling numbers broken down: 15,000 signatures per minute vs 3–6 for traditional banking; 250,000 TPS vs Visa's peak of 60,000
• [17:26] Why blocks per second is the real metric that matters , Aeredium settles in 40 milliseconds vs Solana's 400–450ms
• [18:09] AI agents will do thousands of transactions per minute; Aeredium is building the secure highway for that agent economy right now
• [15:41] Funding update: bootstrapped so far, now opening a $10M SAFE round plus token raise , tokenomics published on their website
• [23:09] How to get involved: Telegram, Discord, X, and Aeredium.io
