Code Replacing Banks, Convergence of Blockchain and AI with David Pinger

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features David Pinger from Warden Protocol

David Pinger envisions a future where AI and blockchain merge to enable trust-minimized, autonomous systems. Known for saying “blockchain isn’t for humans,” he challenges conventional thinking with a bold, machine-first perspective.

Warden Protocol is a Layer-1 blockchain designed for secure, verifiable AI integration with smart contracts and autonomous agents. It enables AI-driven applications to operate across multiple chains in a trust-minimized way.

We spoke to David Pinger about Warden Protocol and:

Decentralized trust minimized financial system
Converging of blockchain and AI
The shoes of the founder
Majority of startups fail
Blockchain as a panacea
Blockchain isn't for humans
Blockchain and AI can't naturally talk to each other
A wave of a new generation of applications
Exercise or go crazy
