We are integrating the @gloamtrade SDK into Blindsight.
Building private data workflows usually means wrestling with custom ZK circuits under tight deadlines. Gloam gives us private balances, encrypted payment receipts, and paid API calls out of the box with zero circuits.

Whoever controls the AI interface will end up controlling money too.
@ilblackdragon on why that makes user-owned AI non-negotiable. Out this week on When Shift Happens.
This week, I’m releasing a 50-minute conversation with @ilblackdragon - Co-founder of @NEARProtocol and co-author of the original AI transformer paper
Illia helped build the technology behind ChatGPT and Claude, and now argues that whoever controls the AI interface will end up controlling money too.
We talk about:
- Why one AI company could become more powerful than owning the world’s banks
- How a single system prompt could nudge a billion people at once
- What user-owned AI actually means
- How NEAR plans to combine private AI and blockchain in one stack
- What can be built on NEAR that cannot be built on any other stack
- Why you should think twice before putting legal, medical or financial questions into a frontier chatbot
- What $ZEC teaches us about privacy and how $NEAR extends it
- Why he thinks AI "paranoia" is great marketing
- How he worked at Google and why building disruptive products inside it was so hard
And much more...
Podcast out this week!
