Crypto Altruists: Real-World Stories of Social & Environmental Impact with Web3
Episode 197 - Xcapit - Crypto for Global Impact - Blockchain, AI, & the Future of Sustainable Development
For episode 197, we’re excited to welcome José Ignacio Trajtenberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Xcapit. Based in Argentina, José leads a powerhouse Web3 R&D firm using blockchain and AI to build digital infrastructure for inclusion and impact. From tokenizing renewable energy, to designing wallets that function offline in low-connectivity regions, to partnering with UNICEF for financial inclusion, Xcapit is redefining what’s possible when tech is designed with people—and the planet—in mind. If you're building or dreaming of building a Web3 project with real-world impact, this one is a must-listen.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How blockchain and AI can work together to supercharge sustainable development initiatives.
- Why real-world asset tokenization could be the next trillion-dollar frontier—and how it can be used for good.
- How decentralized tech can unlock financial inclusion, even in the most remote communities.
--Key Takeaways--
💡 Start with the problem, not the tech: Users don’t care if tech solutions are built on blockchain or magic—they care if it works. José reminds us that impact-driven innovation should focus on solving real problems first, not showcasing the tech behind it.
📱 Abstract away the complexity: Web3 adoption won’t scale unless builders meet people where they are. José shares how Xcapit designs solutions that keep the blockchain behind the scenes, empowering users without expecting them to understand blockchain.
💸 Designing incentive-aligned ecosystems: To drive real-world sustainability, we need real-world economic incentives. Xcapit’s renewable energy platform tokenizes energy generation and invoices, enabling transparent traceability and tradeable rewards onchain.
