Firms standardized on general purpose data platforms for good reason. Building your own was slow, expensive, and needed a team most groups didn't have. The cost of building has come down. It came down at the same moment AI started multiplying the volume of data everyone has to handle. In this talk I'll get into where the efficiencies actually sit, how to shape a system around your largest workload, and how to keep governance and auditability intact while you do it. 3:05 PM, September 17, at 605 Third Avenue in New York. Craig Tutterow is on the 3:25 panel right after me on audit trails for agentic workflows. Come to both, and find me after. I'm there through the networking reception.

Our co-creation space @thehousesf has become a regular gathering point for builders in San Francisco. Day passes are now 50% off when purchased by agents through the @ampersend_ai wallet. @sodofi_ walks through how to claim the discount in the video below ⬇️

What a week in Miami. Capped it off on the Workshop Stage at @consensus2026 with the first live demo of compliance screening for autonomous agent payments via @ampersend_ai, built with @trmlabs and @chainlink. A wallet linked to Tornado Cash, blocked in real time with a 403 Forbidden. A clean wallet transacted normally. One toggle. Full audit trail. Every enterprise conversation this week came back to the same question: how do you prove the agent didn't just pay a sanctioned entity? Now there's an answer. Coming to ampersend soon. Next stop: Bermuda Digital Finance Forum 2026 hosted by @SALT and @PartnersPenrose.
The themes on the agenda next week from decentralized finance to AI's role in capital markets are exactly the conversations I want to be part of. 

DM if you'll be there 🇧🇲

This is my second panel with @tawandamahere and he’s so well spoken on the topic it makes the experience really interesting, easy, and enjoyable. Also shout out to @jbrukh for a great job moderating the discussion. Looking forward to working with @world_chain_ on @ampersend_ai !

An agent can move money in roughly 400 milliseconds. Compliance built for a person logging into a dashboard cannot keep up with that timeline. We've been working with two partners on what comes next. The first version will be shown by @rodventures at @consensus2026 on May 7.

Most onchain apps are built on top of a fragile three-layer stack: a node, an indexer, and a custom database, each one a new surface for data loss, sync failures, and missing records. Amp collapses all of that into a single SQL database that stays consistent with the chain automatically, running up to 34x faster with 100% complete data.

I’ll be in Miami next week for @consensus2026 and genuinely can't wait for this one. Workshop Stage, May 7, 10:10 AM EDT: "The Enterprise Agent Economy Has a Compliance Problem. Here's the Fix." I've had this same conversation probably 50 times in the last year, enterprise is ready to move on agents, compliance is the wall. We built the answer. Live demo featuring @ampersend.ai @trmlabs and @Chainlink. Come see it. We have a booth with @graphprotocol all three days. DM me to grab time. Also at TBV Deal Room & Demo Day May 4 → See you in Miami! 🌴

Money 20/20 APAC delivered. Our booth was packed the entire conference, the side events exceeded every expectation, and the conversations across three days reminded us exactly why we keep showing up to this region.
