deAI Day: The Future of AI, DePIN & Web3
deAI Day is an exclusive forum during TOKEN2049 Dubai spotlighting the convergence of modular AI systems and decentralized infrastructure. As autonomous agents, decentralized compute, and on-chain intelligence move from theory to implementation, deAI Day brings together the teams building at the frontier.
This half-day summit will explore how AI is being integrated across the Web3 stack — from agent frameworks and execution layers to real-world adoption in DeFi, RWA, DePIN, and beyond. Expect high-signal discussions, lightning talks, and curated networking with the pioneers shaping the future of intelligent, composable ecosystems.
