NEARCON Sessions: Agents in the Real World

​NEAR’s Role in Building Open-Source, Private, Decentralized AI

​The next internet won’t be built by humans alone.
AI Agents are here, and they are autonomous, adaptive, and ready to transact, create, and collaborate at scale. But how do we make them useful, trustworthy, and unstoppable? And why is the blockchain the place they truly come alive?

​Join us for the first NEARCON SF Session, an invite-only evening where builders debate the future of the Agent Economy. We’ll explore the breakthroughs, risks, and trillion-dollar opportunities that will define this space, and why NEAR is the chain where agents go from code to impact. Expect bold ideas, live demos, and high-value networking all in the heart of SF’s AI scene.
