AI is reshaping the way we design products, make decisions, and think about the role of designers. That’s why it was a real pleasure to be part of the panel discussion “How does AI change the principles & practice for designers?” at Startit, Novi Sad. A big thank you to Petar Perovic for sharing his insights and to Vukašin Vu Stojkov for moderating such an engaging conversation. The discussion was dynamic, thought-provoking, and filled with diverse perspectives and practical experiences. I hope we managed to help, even if only a little, those in our industry navigate these turbulent times, where AI continues to reshape how we build products and collaborate. It was also an honor to represent not only myself, but also Solflare, which proudly supported the event as its sponsor. Huge thanks to the organizers for the invitation and to everyone who joined us, asked great questions, and contributed to the conversation. The pace of change isn’t slowing down, so neither should the conversations around it. If we stay curious, keep learning, and share what we know, I’m confident we’ll build an even better future together. 🚀

What is the actual architectural difference between a banking app and a Web3 wallet? In a traditional bank, everything is centralized, they own the servers and control your assets. In Web3, the user holds the keys, meaning they are their own bank with everything stored on-chain. But scaling a decentralized architecture for millions of users is a massive production challenge. At Heapcon 2025, Marko Jovanović (Solflare) broke down how they managed a 20x performance boost while cutting infrastructure costs by 90% during a Web3 bullrun. 🎟️ Heapcon 2026 Early Bird tickets are live (20% off).

Your product has a voice whether you wrote it down or not. Buttons, toasts, error states: they all speak. Most orgs never chose how. And now that LLMs draft half of that copy, an undefined voice just gets filled in with the average slop of every dashboard on the internet. AI isn't the problem. Using it without genuine human input is. Lay the soulful, human work down first, and the model stops importing slop and starts extending your voice instead. A product content guide is the best system prompt you'll ever write. Here's how we built ours at Solflare. https://lnkd.in/gfPaggsZ #UXWriting #ContentDesign #ProductVoice #Solana #Crypto #ContentStrategy #AI

💡 Stablecoin payments may seem like the obvious next step for crypto—but the bigger opportunity could be much deeper. In a recent conversation, Solflare CEO Vidor Gencel shares why stablecoins aren't just about fast, low-cost transactions. He highlights their potential to provide meaningful financial access for people in regions where traditional banking falls short. While stablecoins may not generate the same economics as volatile crypto assets, their real-world impact could be far greater. 🎥 Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dRfhEVi9 #Stablecoins #CryptoPayments #Solana #Solflare

Solflare CEO Vidor Gencel says he’s not a blockchain maximalist — he’s a technology maximalist. While remaining bullish on Solana, Gencel argues that its strength goes beyond speed and technical performance. He points to Solana’s growing developer ecosystem, institutional support, and the network effects that create long-term advantages beyond the technology itself.

🔐 Why does self-custody matter? In a recent conversation, Solflare CEO Vidor Gencel shared his perspective on the growing importance of self-custody, particularly in regions where access to stable financial systems and trusted institutions remains limited. While self-custody may not be necessary for everyone, it can provide greater financial sovereignty and control for those who need it most.

Not sure what was the bigger throwback at .debug: interviewing people on camera or trying to prove I still know how to kick a football after all these years. ⚽ Either way, it was a great first .debug with Solflare - catching up with familiar faces, meeting new ones, and having a lot of fun along the way!
