ChainCatcher News reports that at the recent “Build and Scale in 2026” themed forum held in Hong Kong, guests including Lulu, Head of Asia-Pacific 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 theme “Web3 New Stage: From ‘Technological Vision’ to ‘Mainstream Consumption’.”
Lulu, Head of Asia-Pacific at Billions, pointed out that the fundamental challenge of the AI era is identity and trust. She emphasized that future infrastructure must balance privacy protection and regulatory oversight, and believes that by 2026, the market’s core will shift from speculation to infrastructure, especially focusing on identity and responsibility verification (KYA) needed 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 to control permissions and audit behaviors of AI agents, establishing a “responsibility attribution closed loop” to build a secure and trustworthy payment system.
Carter Feldman, Founder and CEO of Psy Protocol, believes that current blockchain technology cannot support the billions of concurrent transactions brought by AI agents. They are building high-performance blockchains that support AI scale and protect privacy. He pointed out that AI agents will ultimately bring massive user bases and sustainable fee income to blockchain, driving the industry into a truly profit-driven phase.
Bitcoinmaodu, CEO of Huazhi Education RWA, shared on-site the practical path of Web3 in private education. He stated that education is a long undervalued real asset, and RWA provides a new organizational approach for private education. By assetizing course content, teacher contributions, and learning outcomes, Huazhi Education is promoting traditional private education from a “cost center” to a “sustainable value network,” making education a truly long-term, replicable, and scalable asset system.
The participating guests unanimously agreed that this is a critical period for infrastructure development, and Web3 is moving from concept to solving practical pain points. Identity verification, payment security for AI agents, and RWA compliance implementation in the AI era will become the core driving forces for industry development in 2026.
