What if blockchain could verify truth in an AI-driven world? In this episode, we explore that question with Paul Snow, CEO of IDD Labs and chief architect of Accumulate Network, a blockchain built for trust, identity, and data integrity in the digital age.

Paul shares his journey from working at Microsoft and IBM to becoming a pioneer in blockchain. With a background in computer science and a master’s in threaded interpreters, he helped shape the Ethereum Virtual Machine and launched Factom, which evolved into Accumulate.

We dive into how Accumulate solves real-world problems—like tracking medical records, verifying supply chains, and managing border security—using cryptographic proofs and a unique URL-based identity system. Paul also explains how Accumulate is positioned to help distinguish real data from AI-generated content, a growing challenge in today’s digital landscape.

What You’ll Learn:
  • Paul’s transition from big tech to blockchain trailblazer
  • How Accumulate verifies data and identities with precision
  • Real use cases: medical wallets, U.S. Customs, and more
  • Why blockchain is key to building trust in AI-generated content
  • A vision for a future without traditional programming languages

🎧 Tune in and discover how Paul Snow is building the foundation for Web3 trust, transparency, and technological evolution.
