EasyA co-founders Phil and Dom discuss the upcoming Consensus 2025 hackathon in Miami (May 5-7), highlighting three key themes for builders: AI-to-AI agent payments on blockchain, institutional adoption, and experimentation. They emphasize stablecoins, lending/borrowing apps, and developer-focused opportunities.
Phil and Dom, co-founders of EasyA, hosted a Twitter Space to preview Consensus 2025 in Miami and the EasyA Consensus hackathon. They outlined three major themes for developers: AI and Web3 enabling autonomous agent-to-agent payments (e.g., self-driving cars paying for repairs), institutional adoption as Wall Street increasingly needs crypto infrastructure, and bold experimentation. Dom highlighted stablecoins (USDC, RLUSD) and remittance use cases as proven applications, plus the need for better wallet UX. The hackathon offers three days of building on the main show floor with access to the full conference, networking with major figures like Brad Garlinghouse and Michael Saylor, and a final pitch opportunity. EasyA is touring major cities (London, Amsterdam, Paris, San Francisco, New York, Vegas, Miami) to meet builders before and after the event.
