Decentralized AI Summit

​Decentralized AI Summit lands in Tokyo for a full day of big ideas, sharp conversations, and great energy around two technologies that are starting to fit together in surprisingly natural ways. Hosted by Ethereum Japan and Fracton Ventures, this gathering brings builders, founders, researchers, investors, and curious operators into one room to dig into what happens when AI meets open networks.

​AI and blockchain are often discussed separately, but they solve complementary parts of the same puzzle. AI can generate intelligence, automation, and new kinds of digital work. Blockchain can provide the coordination layer, with permissionless payments that let agents, apps, and users transact instantly across borders, plus onchain verifiability that makes outputs, actions, and incentives easier to inspect and trust. Put together, they open the door to systems that can act, get paid, prove what they did, and operate in more transparent ways.

​The focus is not abstract hype, but the mechanics, business models, and design choices that could define the next wave of applications. How do autonomous agents pay for services or data without relying on closed payment rails? How can onchain records help verify model usage, provenance, execution, or rewards? What becomes possible when AI services plug into crypto-native markets, wallets, and protocols? Decentralized AI Summit aims to address and exchange ideas on these practical questions and real opportunities; there will be room for both deep technical discussion and casual conversation between sessions.

​Whether you are exploring decentralized AI for the first time or already building in the space, you will find plenty to react to, debate, and build on. If you care about where intelligent systems, open infrastructure, and internet-native payments are heading next, this occasion is for you.
