Kostas Chalkias: Mysten Labs & Walrus Memory for AI Agents
Kostas Chalkias, co-founder and chief cryptographer at Mysten Labs, explains leaving Facebook (including the Libra blockchain effort) with four colleagues to build a faster-Ethereum blockchain, and why he now sees cryptography and AI converging as people entrust models with their inner thoughts. He introduces Walrus, Mysten's decentralized data platform, and its new Walrus Memory: a portable, verifiable, encrypted and programmable memory layer for AI agents that works across Claude, Gemini and other APIs with user-defined access policies.
