ChainCatcher "Build and Scale 2026" Roundtable: We are currently in a critical period of building infrastructure, and Web3 is moving from concept to solving practical pain points.

According to ChainCatcher, at the "Build and Scale in 2026" forum held recently in Hong Kong, guests including Lulu, Head of Marketing for Billions Asia Pacific, Laughing, Head of Marketing for KiteAI Asia Pacific, Carter Feldman, Founder and CEO of Psy Protocol, and Bitcoinmaodu, CEO of RWA Education, participated in a roundtable discussion on the theme of "The New Phase of Web3: From 'Technological Vision' to 'Mainstream Consumption'." Lulu, Head of Marketing for Billions Asia Pacific, 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 in 2026, the core of the market will shift from speculation to infrastructure, especially meeting the identity and KYA (Know Your Customer) verification requirements for AI agents. Laughing, Head of Marketing for KiteAI Asia Pacific, focused on payment security for AI agents. He stated that blockchain technology is needed to control access and audit the behavior of AI agents, establishing a "closed loop of accountability" to build a secure and trustworthy payment system. Carter Feldman, founder and CEO of Psy Protocol, believes that current blockchains cannot support the billions of concurrent transactions brought by AI agents. They are building a high-performance blockchain that supports AI scale and protects privacy. He points out that AI agents will ultimately bring massive users and sustainable transaction fee revenue to the blockchain, driving the industry into a truly profit-driven stage. Bitcoinmaodu, CEO of RWA at Huazhi Education, shared Huazhi Education's Web3 practice path in the private education sector. He stated that education is a long-undervalued real-world asset, and RWA provides a completely new organizational approach for private education. By designing course content, teacher contributions, and learning outcomes as assets, Huazhi Education is driving traditional private education from a "cost center" to a "sustainable value network," making education a truly long-term, replicable, and scalable asset system. Attendees unanimously agreed that the current period is crucial for infrastructure construction, and Web3 is moving from concept to solving practical pain points. Identity verification in the AI era, agent payment security, and RWA compliance will become the core driving forces for industry development in 2026.
