ChainCatcher "Build and Scale 2026" Roundtable: This is a critical period for building infrastructure, as Web3 is moving from a conceptual stage to addressing real-world pain points.

According to ChainCatcher, at the recent "Build and Scale in 2026" themed forum held in Hong Kong, Lulu, Head of Asia-Pacific Markets at Billions, Laughing, Head of Asia-Pacific at KiteAI, Carter Feldman, Founder and CEO of Psy Protocol, and Bitcoinmaodu, CEO of Huazhi Education RWA, participated in a roundtable discussion on the topic "Web3 New Stage: From 'Technical Vision' to 'Mainstream Consumption'".

Lulu, Head of Asia-Pacific Markets at Billions, pointed out that the most fundamental challenge in the AI era is the issue of identity and trust. She emphasized that future infrastructure must strike a balance between privacy protection and regulatory auditing, and believes that by 2026, the market's core will shift from speculation to infrastructure, especially identity and responsibility verification (KYA) required for AI agents.

Laughing, Head of Asia-Pacific at KiteAI, focused on payment security for AI agents. He stated that blockchain technology should be used for permission control and behavior auditing of AI agents, establishing a "closed loop of responsibility attribution" to build a secure and trustworthy payment system.

Carter Feldman, Founder and CEO of Psy Protocol, believes that current blockchains cannot support the hundreds of millions of concurrent transactions brought by AI agents. They are building a high-performance blockchain that supports AI scale and protects privacy. He pointed out that AI agents will ultimately bring massive users and sustainable fee revenue to blockchain, driving the industry into a truly profit-driven stage.

Bitcoinmaodu, CEO of Huazhi Education RWA, shared on-site the Web3 practice path of Huazhi Education in the field of private education. He stated that education is a real-world asset that has long been underestimated, and RWA provides a brand new organizational model for private education. By assetizing course content, teacher contributions, and learning outcomes, Huazhi Education is promoting the transformation of traditional private education from a "cost center" to a "sustainable value network," making education a truly accumulable and scalable asset system.

The guests unanimously agreed that this is a critical period for building infrastructure, and Web3 is moving from a conceptual stage to addressing real pain points. Identity verification in the AI era, agent payment security, and compliant implementation of RWA will become the core driving forces for industry development in 2026.
