2026 is not business as usual.

In this episode of the Full Shard Podcast, Lucian and Beniamin Mincu are joined by VP of Business Development Daniel Serb to unpack a world shaped by accelerating AI, volatile markets, and structural resets across industries.

They discuss the rise of agentic systems, the emergence of machine-to-machine commerce, and why settlement speed and scale suddenly matter in a way they didn’t before. From agentic payments and commerce protocols to the positioning of Supernova, the conversation centers on building future-proof infrastructure for a time where demand for it finally arises.

A wide-angle conversation about what’s breaking, what’s emerging, and where the next wave may land.

When technology becomes fast enough, it disappears.

In this episode, Beniamin Mincu and Adrian Dobrita step back from specs and roadmaps to talk about what Supernova really represents.

From redefining what a blockchain is, to why speed changes human behavior, to how AI agents may soon need blockchains to coordinate, this is a big-picture conversation about building systems that can keep up with the future.

Not just about how it works. But about why it matters.

How do you redesign an economy from first principles?

Beniamin Mincu sits down with renowned economist, professor at George Mason University, and co-founder of Marginal Revolution University, Alex Tabarrok, to explore foundations of growth, incentives, and creative destruction.

Together they discuss the evolution of the EGLD economic model, how DATs & ETFs reshape value flow, and what crypto as money for AI could mean for the next decade.
