One Llama is a community-driven auto protection program that offers a lower-cost alternative to traditional collision and comprehensive auto insurance. Members pay into a shared mutual-aid fund - roughly 70% of each payment supports other members' repair costs while about 30% covers service fees - and they earn One Llama Tokens (OLT) for safe driving and referrals. Plans start around $350 for six months with protection up to $100,000, and the program leans on AI risk and damage assessment plus a DePIN/blockchain layer to record driving data and reward safe miles transparently.
Doug Petkanics is the co-founder and CEO of Livepeer, a decentralized network that turns idle GPUs around the world into open video infrastructure. A University of Pennsylvania computer scientist and three-time founder, he built and sold Hyperpublic to Groupon and shipped an Apple App of the Year at Wildcard before betting on blockchain in 2016. Today he is steering Livepeer squarely at real-time AI video, arguing the open internet should not be rebuilt on the same handful of cloud giants it set out to escape.
