360: From Blockchain Infrastructure to Real Adoption: The Moca Network Vision With Guest Speaker Kenneth Shek from Animoca

In this episode, I sit down with Kenneth Shek from Animoca during Consensus Week in Hong Kong.

We talk about what it really takes to drive mass adoption in Web3. Not hype. Not narratives. Real users.

Kenneth shares how Moca Network is building the identity layer for the future of programmable money. We go deep into AI-native infrastructure, stablecoins, loyalty systems, and why distribution is the real moat.

We also discuss why most Web3 projects struggle with adoption, what Web2 got right, and how AI agents will reshape commerce by 2026.

If you care about identity, payments, AI, or building the next killer app in crypto, this episode is for you.
