DeFindex co-founders Francisco, Esteban, and Joaquin discuss their path from France to Stellar blockchain, building the first smart contract protocol (Sorsa), and their vision for AI agents handling money through blockchain infrastructure.
DeFindex co-founders Francisco, Esteban, and Joaquin trace their journey from meeting in France in 2013 to building the first smart contract protocol on Stellar mainnet (Sorsa). The trio shares their vision for the next five years: AI agents will become the primary interface for financial transactions, with blockchain serving as the reliable infrastructure underneath. They frame it as "AI is the brain, blockchain is the nervous system" — where AI interprets user intent but needs a reliable backend to execute payments and investments. The conversation touches on LATAM's unique position as a market with both strong currencies and underbanked populations, positioning blockchain-backed savings infrastructure as critical for financial inclusion.
