The latest SlateCast episode featured Dimitri de Jong, founder and CTO of 204.ai, in conversation with Liam “Akiba” Wright, Editor in Chief of CryptoSlate, and Nate Whitehill, CEO of CryptoSlate. The discussion centered on de Jong’s innovative work at the intersection of AI, blockchain, and artistic expression. His experience spans decades of research and development in decentralized systems, blending technology with creative vision.From Microelectronics to AI and BlockchainDimitri’s journey began with a foundation in microelectronics and systems theory. As he explained, this background provided a deep understanding of complex systems and their optimization. His work in the 2010s revolved around using machine learning to simulate rare events and improve microchip designs for diverse environments, from space missions to nuclear reactors.“I specialized in systems theory and nonlinear systems to optimize designs in virtual environments,” said Dimitri. “That foundation translates directly into understanding decentralized systems.”This knowledge eventually led him to blockchain and AI, where he developed data sovereignty solutions such as Ocean Protocol, a decentralized data exchange, and Nevermind, focused on AI agents and data ownership.204.ai: Fusing Art and TechnologyDimitri described 204.ai as an “interactive design studio” where AI and artistic research converge. The studio explores immersive generative art, creating unique experiences like stepping into AI-enhanced paintings or witnessing fossils “come alive” through dynamic overlays.“We aim to make AI interactions multi-sensory and deeply engaging,” he said. “For example, we use brain-computer interfaces to enhance real-time generative designs.”204.ai’s work spans institutional projects and public-facing immersive experiences. From kinetic installations to AI-driven nature simulations, Dimitri emphasized the importance of bridging creative expression and technological advancement.The Vision of a Universal Recomme

Alexander Sudeykin, Co-Founder of EVAA Protocol, joined CryptoSlate’s Editor-in-Chief Liam “Akiba” Wright and CEO Nate Whitehill in a recent SlateCast episode. The discussion centered around EVAA Protocol, its integration with the Telegram ecosystem, and the transformative potential of the TON blockchain in decentralized finance (DeFi). EVAA stands out as a decentralized lending platform, leveraging Telegram to simplify user engagement with DeFi tools.Revolutionizing DeFi Through Telegram IntegrationSudeykin highlighted EVAA Protocol’s unique positioning as a bridge between the TON blockchain and Telegram users. By creating a Telegram mini-app, EVAA allows users to access its lending and borrowing features directly from the messaging platform.“Telegram provides a seamless interface,” Sudeykin explained. “Users don’t need external wallets or complicated setups to start using the lending protocol. With Telegram wallets, we’ve significantly reduced the steps required to engage with DeFi.”The mini-app incorporates features like real-time notifications, ensuring users are alerted about critical activities, such as liquidations, making DeFi more user-friendly for newcomers.DeFi Growth on the TON BlockchainWhen asked about the TON ecosystem, Sudeykin detailed its evolution and potential for growth.“The TON blockchain is still in its early stages, with only about 20 protocols currently active. Compare that to hundreds on Solana, and you realize the opportunity for expansion,” he noted.He emphasized that utility projects, particularly in DeFi, will drive the next wave of growth on TON. EVAA aims to lead this transformation by offering robust tools for developers and users alike, fostering a thriving DeFi ecosystem.Innovative Tokenomics and GovernanceAlthough EVAA’s native token has yet to launch, Sudeykin shared insights into its planned utilities.“The EVAA token will serve as the governance backbone of our DAO, enabling token holders to vote on key decisions,” he said.In ad
