In this AMA session, Zeeve co-founder Dr. Ravi Chamria speaks with Rodney Prescott, co-founder of Entry Network, about one of the biggest unlocks in the blockchain industry today — bringing institutional capital into DeFi.
They discuss how programmable compliance, zero-knowledge identity, and federated AI can finally bridge the gap between open, permissionless DeFi and the strict regulatory frameworks required by traditional finance.
If you're building in RWA tokenization, institutional DeFi, stablecoins, or composable privacy, this is a must-watch.
