Pedro Gomes discusses the role of tokens as fungible metrics for utility and addresses the substantial energy demand arising from mining and inference processes.

He also observes that attempts to reinvent browsers using these technologies have so far failed.

Gomes previously announced that customers at 94° cafe in Lisbon could use WalletConnect Pay for complimentary coffee.
