Gm! In today’s episode, we’re joined by Chris from Loyal to discuss building smart-account infrastructure on Solana to automate onchain financial tasks, including stablecoin yield optimization and agent-driven policies. We cover smart wallets, Seeker app development, consumer crypto UX, token-based fundraising through MetaDAO, community building, and the broader future of agentic finance and payments.

Enjoy!
