AI has a compute problem. And most builders are getting priced out before they even start. Japan's biggest and fastest-growing Web3 and crypto company is solving this problem head on. On this episode of @dealflowpodcast, I sat down with the minds behind @JANCTION_Global - @HARA_JasmyCFO (CEO, @JanctionMGT | CFO & CEO, @Jasmy_Global) - @BerndHollerit (CTO, Jasmy Labs) This conversation explored how the Jasmy ecosystem is approaching that opportunity through three layers: 1) Jasmy: focused on personal data security and value 2) JANCTION: a decentralized GPU marketplace for compute access 3) Jasmy Labs: helping connect blockchain and AI infrastructure to practical business use cases Their thesis is simple... .... Your data should be yours ... Compute should not only belong to Big Tech ... AI infrastructure needs to get cheaper, faster, and more open Several insights stood out: - decentralized infrastructure has the potential to materially reduce compute and storage costs - smaller builders and institutions need alternatives to traditional cloud pricing models - data ownership is becoming an increasingly important part of the AI stack -infrastructure that lowers barriers to entry can unlock broader participation across the market The conversation also highlighted Tokyo’s growing role as a serious center for AI, crypto, and research-led innovation. As the market evolves, we believe the winners in AI will not only be those building applications, but also those solving the infrastructure constraints underneath them.
