Web3’s annual premier developer conferenceDevcon 7 brought together the brightest minds in decentralized tech to Bangkok, Thailand this November, and of course, Autonomys was in full force. As well as offering valuable opportunities to network with peers, share knowledge, and explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain innovation, the event provided the ideal chance for the team to co-host a series of side-events, workshops, and discussions on the future of decentralized AI.
One of the central themes at Devcon 7 was the practical implementation of AI within blockchain ecosystems. Discussions focused on how AI can enhance decentralization efforts, improve data management, and enable new functionalities within decentralized applications (dApps), among a number of other crypto x AI verticals.
Autonomys’Head of Research Chen Feng was center stage at several side-events, moderating a panel onThe Role of Decentralised Data Storage and Private Compute in DeAI featuring Optimum’s Kishori Konwar,Fluence’s Tom Trowbridge,Impossible Cloud’s Kai Wawrzinek, andHypersphere Ventures’s Jack Platts atThe Rollup Day, hosted byZeeve andAPAC DAO, and participating in another onDiscovering Opportunities in the New Crypto Cycle atDeInsight 2024, organized byChainCatcher andRootData. These events targeted Southeast Asia and East Asia’s vibrant web3 communities respectively, reflecting our goal of strengthening Autonomys’ connectivity with these regions. Autonomys’Head of Protocol Dariia Porechna also participated in an insightful open panel on deAI atBuildCon, hosted byAlchemy,EduDAO and pool.
Autonomys’Head of Engineering Jeremy Frank led a workshop entitledEmpowering AI Agents On-Chain: Unlocking Persistent Memory with the Autonomys Network, offering practical insights into implementing AI agents on-chain, at thedAI Developer Hub, a curated space for builders and developers to explore cutting-edge AI and web3 developments, hosted byAethir and0G. The workshop facilitated discussions on overcoming common challenges in decentralized AI applications, and covered:
Our team also attended several technical sessions on:
Jeremy and Dariia delivered the opening speeches at the exclusiveFounders & Investors Brunch, and DevconRooftop Hash Hour andAI + DePIN Happy Hour side-events at some of the finest venues in Bangkok. The latter, co-hosted withHalborn, featured discussions from a range of projects includingAutonomys,NEAR,Beefy,Lucid, andnillion.
Our involvement in Devcon 7 reinforced our commitment to advancing the integration of AI and web3 tech through the Autonomys Network as part of the shift toAI3.0. By focusing on the development of theAuto SDK for building and deploying Autonomys Agents (Auto Agents), we aim to address key industry challenges related to data storage, agent collaboration, and verifiable on-chain interaction.
Devcon 7 highlighted the value of collaboration and open dialogue in addressing common challenges within the web3 community. We even more so recognize the importance of fostering an inclusive environment that encourages participation from individuals at all levels of expertise. This ongoing objective is being actioned through:
Devcon 7 provided hugely meaningful insights into the current state and future direction of decentralized AI and web3 x AI. The Autonomys team gained valuable perspectives on industry trends, challenges, and opportunities, and we are dedicated to applying these learnings to enhance our offerings and contribute to the growth of the AI3.0 ecosystem.
After a successful Mainnet Phase-1 launch in November, we are now focused on accelerating network and ecosystem growth through user, developer and partner onboarding ahead of our Phase-2 launch scheduled for Q1 2025. You can expect a robust year filled with product demos and launches as well as opportunities to connect with the Autonomys team, including atConsensus Hong Kong andETHDenver. Stay tuned!
Autonomys Network — the foundation layer for AI3.0 — is a hyper-scalable decentralized AI (deAI) infrastructure stack encompassing high-throughput permanent distributed storage, data availability and access, and modular execution. Our deAI ecosystem provides all the essential components to build and deploy secure super dApps (AI-powered dApps) and on-chain agents, equipping them with advanced AI capabilities for dynamic and autonomous functionality.
