🎙️ In this episode, Gianluca De Novi shares how Circular Protocol built a fourth-generation Layer-1 blockchain designed for compliance and auditability in healthcare and life sciences. He explains why existing chains built for DeFi fall short, how Circular enables both public and private blockchains on the same network, and why certifying data matters in the age of AI. You’ll also hear real-world examples, from certifying medical records across 8,000 pharmacies to creating audit trails for clinical research and drug production traceability.
