Thats My CEO
Before building Verona (Formerly XION), Anthony Anzalone made headlines for doing something most people would never consider, burning a physical Banksy artwork worth $95,000 and selling its NFT for $380,000 in 2021.
The stunt sparked a global debate about digital ownership. But there's a part of that story worth paying more attention to.
Even for someone already inside crypto, minting and selling that NFT was painfully complicated.
That experience became the starting point.
Anthony, better known as Burnt Banksy , went on to build Burnt and then XION, focusing on making crypto accessible without the usual wallet setup or technical barriers.
Today, that journey has evolved into Verona.
The focus is no longer just making blockchain easier to use. It's about making information verifiable, private, and useful for AI agents.
Instead of giving an AI access to someone's entire bank statement, Verona aims to provide a verified answer the agent can actually act on, without exposing the underlying personal data.
From challenging how people think about digital ownership to building infrastructure for intelligent AI, the thread connecting it all is surprisingly consistent, making technology work better for people.
