Interview with Aasif Shah - CEO & Co-Founder at Epillo Health Systems OÜ

Amadeus is introducing the world's first blockchain that converts mining waste into AI intelligence. The breakthrough 'thinking blockchain' transforms energy typically wasted on meaningless crypto mining calculations into useful AI training, enabling anyone to deploy self-evolving AI agents without coding expertise.  As AI infrastructure faces skyrocketing costs and centralization risks, Amadeus addresses these challenges by creating a secure, scalable platform where network security directly fuels AI progress. This launch taps into the exploding AI agents market, projected to grow from $7.9 billion today to $236 billion by 2034¹, offering developers, enterprises, and individuals a decentralized alternative for building intelligent systems. At its core, Amadeus replaces wasteful mining with meaningful computations that power AI development, ensuring every network operation contributes real value. Unlike traditional proof-of-work systems that burn energy without purpose, Amadeus creates an economic flywheel: more mining leads to stronger AI capabilities, attracting further resources and driving network growth. Key innovations include: Self-Evolving AI Agents : Deploy intelligent agents that adapt in real-time using the Nova AI compiler, with all improvements recorded immutably on-chain. Swarm Coordination and Oracle Streams : Easily assemble AI teams with drag-and-drop modules for tasks like perception and planning, integrated with live data feeds for weather, finance, or news. No-Code Agent Deployment : Anyone can create and monetize AI agents, democratizing access to advanced technology. High-Performance Infrastructure : Achieves 0.5-second transaction finality, making it suitable for real-time applications while maintaining full decentralization. Real-World Applications for AI Agents Amadeus empowers practical use cases that blend AI and blockchain, such as autonomous agents that trade assets, generate content, or manage businesses entirely on-chain. For example, a developer could deploy an AI agent to monitor market data, execute trades, and optimize strategies automatically, all verifiable, censorship-resistant, and free from platform risks. This opens doors for enterprises seeking cost-effective AI solutions and individuals building passive income streams through intelligent automation. Standing Out in the AI-Blockchain Space While projects like Render Network and Akash focus on decentralized compute, and SingularityNET or Fetch.ai emphasize AI marketplaces, Amadeus differentiates through its uPoW mechanism, which turns mining into direct AI contributions without premine, VCs, or energy waste. Backed by a team with decades in blockchain, AI, and distributed systems, including ex-FAANG engineers and leaders from multi-billion-dollar crypto projects. The $AMA token, with a 1 billion total supply fully mined through useful work, powers the ecosystem. A 100 million $AMA community treasury funds grants for mining infrastructure, SDKs, and AI tools, fostering organic growth. "With hardware advancing rapidly, we anticipate our validator network expanding 10 to 100 times, creating a resilient foundation enterprises can trust for mission-critical AI," added Ivan Svirid , Co-Founder of Amadeus Protocol. Looking Ahead The mainnet positions Amadeus for rapid ecosystem expansion. In Q4 2025 will see: The Nova Runtime deployment enabling AI agent capabilities First exchange partnership to expand $AMA accessibility. The 2026 roadmap focuses on enterprise adoption with a dedicated GPU marketplace and the launch of the ecosystem grants program to accelerate developer onboarding.

Christian Barker - better known as Barkmeta, or simply Bark - has become one of Web3’s loudest daily voices and most visible builders. As founder of Doginal Dogs, the driver behind Bark Media , and the host of relentless live broadcasts on X, he’s equal parts community organizer, brand strategist, and lightning rod. In this interview-style feature, we stitch together his story, his record, and his responses to the rumors that have followed his rise—keeping his words in his own voice. Q: For readers meeting you for the first time, who is Bark and how did this start? A: I grew up in a small town with limited opportunities. In high school I freelanced—photography, social—and during the pandemic I built a TikTok following of over four million and passed a billion views. I was studying marketing and branding, and a class assignment to make a fake business made me realize I was already building a real one. By 2022, I was fully committed to crypto. I built my personal brand from scratch, went live every single day, and learned by doing. Q: Doginal Dogs has become a recognizable NFT ecosystem. What lit the spark? A: —my dog. She’s part of my life and story. Doginal Dogs launched as a free mint: two pixel-art dogs inscribed on the Dogecoin blockchain. No presale, no VC—just community. It grew fast and became the biggest Dogecoin inscriptions project. Now it’s more than NFTs—we have DAOs, IRL events, merchandise, and one of the most active communities in the space. The fact that it started as a free mint makes it an underdog story in every sense. Q: You’re known for daily live shows on X. What’s the secret sauce? A: Consistency. I haven’t missed a day—over 1,000 live broadcasts. We mix markets, culture, and community, but what makes it stand out is the guests. We’ve had people like Elon Musk, Gary Vaynerchuk, Caitlyn Jenner, Grant Cardone, and many others join. It’s about creating a space where crypto overlaps with mainstream culture—that’s why the sessions attract tens of thousands of listeners and millions of impressions each week. Q: Visibility brings scrutiny. Several allegations have circulated online. What’s your response? A: These attacks were designed to discredit, but they failed. I’ve never hidden my name, never faked a launch, and never taken money from my community. What I’ve built is public. What I’ve delivered is documented. My record is clean, and I’m still here — every day. Q: Let’s address specific claims head-on. First, the “dog abandonment” thread involving A: The claim is false. She was never abandoned. The dog is alive, healthy, and remains in my care. She is the inspiration behind Doginal Dogs, a free-mint NFT project that became one of the largest ecosystems on Dogecoin. Q: There were posts labeling POX (launched in 2024) a scam or failed token. What actually happened? A: POX launched in early 2024 on Solana’s SPL-404 standard with a hybrid token–NFT structure. It quickly became one of the most successful experimental assets of the year, reached a multi-million-dollar market cap, built a loyal holder base, and continues to operate transparently. There was no presale, no investor solicitation, and no unmet promises. On-chain data confirms the project’s legitimacy and scale. Q: Another rumor said you bought Kanye West’s X account to promote a meme token called YZY. A: The claim is entirely false. There is no contract, on-chain data, transaction record, or screenshot confirming this event. I had zero involvement with Kanye West, YZY, or any party associated with that rumor. Q: Critics also pointed to a “network token” and called it a pump-and-dump. A: That’s inaccurate. It was a non-commercial, no-funding community experiment—no roadmap, no expectation of return. It wasn’t offered for sale and didn’t involve capital raising or promotion. No token was sold, pumped, dumped, or abandoned. Q: Did you really pay $15,000 per month for someone to ghostwrite “800 tweets a day”? A: This is demonstrably false. I run my account myself. I post several times per day. The “800 tweets” number appears to be AI-generated misinformation. Q: Claims about personal debt and working under another founder to recover? A: Also false. I have never been in personal or project debt. My projects have been self-funded or organically grown. I’ve never borrowed from holders, never sold assets under pressure, and never operated under another founder. I remain the sole operator of my brand. Q: What does your public track record look like, in your own words? A: Since 2022, I’ve hosted over 1,000 live broadcasts without missing a day, founded Doginal Dogs with verified holder value, built Bark Media to support crypto-native brands, managed communities, events, and DAOs across X, Solana, Dogecoin, and more—and I’ve done it all under my real name and public identity. No failed projects. No unresolved roadmaps. No missing teams. No scams. Q: You co-founded Doginal Dogs with Shibo . What’s next for the project and the community? A: Keep building culture. Our community organizes free IRL events for holders—like DDVegas, a three-day event with parties, food, and drinks, all free for the people who built this with us. Long term, it’s simple: crypto isn’t just about charts; it’s about communities, ownership, and building things that last. Q: What’s a day in the life for you now? A: Wake up, prep the show, review markets and community notes, go live, handle Bark Media deliverables, engage with Doginal Dogs initiatives, and make time for . Repeat—every day. Q: What advice do you give to new builders who want to earn trust in Web3? A: Show up daily. Ship publicly. Keep receipts. If it isn’t on-chain or documented, it didn’t happen. And don’t take money you don’t need. Community-first is the only moat that compounds. Official statement and context for readers Christian Barker has released an official statement addressing a series of false and defamatory claims recently circulated via social media threads, blog-style articles, and AI-generated summaries. These allegations—ranging from accusations of personal misconduct to project-related misinformation—have been publicly and definitively disproven, and this interview serves as the clearest public record of his position to date.
