E07 — Peyman Momeni: Confidential Intents & DeFi’s Trust Layer

In E07 — Peyman Momeni: Confidential Intents & DeFi’s Trust Layer, Dylan sits down with Peyman Momeni, CEO & Founder of Fairblock, to ask what happens if crypto doesn’t have to be an open book. Today’s stablecoins leak salaries, treasury moves, and trading strategies to anyone watching the chain. Peyman explains how Fairblock uses confidential stablecoins and confidential intents so amounts and orders stay encrypted while the network can still verify that every rule was followed. (docs.fairblock.network)They walk through how Fairblock’s stack—homomorphic encryption plus threshold identity-based encryption and conditional decryption—enables pre-execution privacy, sealed auctions, and protected trading, without handing control back to a centralized middleman. (docs.fairblock.network) The conversation also looks ahead to AI agents routing orders on-chain, the role of TEEs and Phala’s dstack as an “anti-hack” trust layer, and why programmable privacy is becoming table stakes for serious DeFi and institutional flows. (fairblock.network)In this episode, we cover:What confidential intents are, and how conditional decryption lets you plan and execute trades privately, then reveal only what’s needed to prove they were valid. (docs.fairblock.network)How confidential stablecoins encrypt amounts and balances while keeping addresses auditable for compliance and reporting. (docs.fairblock.network)Sealed, leaderless auctions that use Fairblock’s FairyRing chain to cut slippage and MEV without losing verifiability. (docs.fairblock.network)The growing set of Fairblock cApps across stablecoins, protected trading, and confidential AI data markets. (fairblock.network)Why DeFi AI agents need hardware-backed guarantees, and how Phala + dstack provide verifiable confidential compute as the trust layer underneath.
