Goldman Sachs and Microsoft Aim To Boost Web3 Adoption on Canton Blockchain Through AI

Goldman Sachs and Microsoft are collaborating to increase the adoption of Web3 on the Canton blockchain through the use of artificial intelligence (AI). They are joining other traditional finance giants such as Deloitte, S&P Global, Moody's, BNP Paribas, and Cboe Global Markets in building infrastructure during the crypto bear market.

The recently-released Canton Network, built on Microsoft's Azure cloud, aims to attract developers with a new digital asset smart contract language. AI can improve the user experience of Web3 by analyzing app usage patterns, streamlining complex tasks, and improving network management.

Traditional finance firms envision real-world asset tokenization as their next goal, and Canton can help create new market infrastructure and drive efficiency in the trading of products across the globe.

  • The promise and challenges of crypto + AI applications

    Many people over the years have asked me a similar question: what are the intersections between crypto and AI that I consider to be the most fruitful? It's a reasonable question: crypto and AI are the two main deep (software) technology trends of the past decade, and it just feels like there must be some kind of connection between the two. It's easy to come up with synergies at a superficial vibe level: crypto decentralization can balance out AI centralization, AI is opaque and crypto brings transparency, AI needs data and blockchains are good for storing and tracking data. But over the years, when people would ask me to dig a level deeper and talk about specific applications, my response has been a disappointing one: "yeah there's a few things but not that much".
  • The Knowledge Economy Is Over. Welcome to the Allocation Economy

    Time isn’t as linear as you think. It has ripples and folds like smooth silk. It doubles back on itself, and if you know where to look, you can catch the future shimmering in the present. (This is what people don’t understand about visionaries: They don’t need to predict the future. They learn to snatch it out of the folds of time and wear it around their bodies like a flowing cloak.)
