DeAI Day at Consensus Toronto hosted by Contango Digital & Sapien
DeAI Day is an exclusive forum during Consensus 2025 Toronto spotlighting the convergence of blockchain and artificial intelligence.
This afternoon summit will explore how AI is being integrated across the Web3 stack — from agent frameworks and execution layers to leading ecosystems like Bittensor. Expect high-signal discussions, lightning talks, and curated networking with the pioneers shaping the future of intelligent, composable ecosystems.
Join us at The Rec Room, in the heart of Toronto where we will offer complementary drinks, food and games. You won't want to miss it!

Contango Digital Assets - Contango is a venture fund and ecosystem accelerator located in Toronto, with a direct focus on investing in deAI founders, and building critical infrastructure alongside them.
Sapien is building the first decentralized data foundry: a permissionless protocol where any enterprise, AI model, or agent can source human expertise, and anyone can contribute their knowledge to advance AI for global benefit. Led by Rowan Stone (co-creator of Base at Coinbase) and Trevor Koverko (founder of Polymath).

Zero Gravity (0G) is the largest L1 for AI offering unparalleled infrastructure to power the next generation of decentralized AI applications. Building the first decentralized AI Operating System, unlike traditional closed AI systems, 0G empowers users with full autonomy, ensuring privacy, verifiability, and censorship resistance.
The Inference Labs network enables verified zero-knowledge inference of AI output; allowing proprietary AI models to run off-chain, without introducing additional trust assumptions via public verification of the inference in a privacy preserving manner (utilising zk cryptography). The Inference Labs team believes that AI inference will be the dominant form of internet traffic in the not too distant future, and their Verified Inference Network (Sertn) exists to secure this activity.
ReadyAI is the decentralized intelligence layer for structured data. Built on Bittensor, our subnet turns raw text and information into metadata rich, AI-ready outputs with accuracy that already outperforms GPT-4o and human annotator benchmarks. ReadyAI is structuring all the world’s information and making it universally accessible to AI.
Titan is an institutional-grade platform unlocking liquidity in a multi trillion dollar market of traditionally illiquid assets. Built by the team behind billion-dollar Web3 protocols, Titan delivers compliant infrastructure, flexible liquidity, and a utility token ($TITAN) that powers seamless asset tokenization, trading, and yield.
BitMind is a decentralized AI company focused on the adoption of decentralized AI. We built the deep fake detection subnet on Bittensor which incentivizes identifying and mitigating AI-generated image content. We have several applications which use the subnet’s output and have built a developer platform for AI developers to seamlessly train and contribute models to our subnet.
Latent Holdings exists to accelerate the digital transformation of intelligence. Our mission is Bittensor’s mission. We maintain Bittensor core, SDK, CLI, docs and toolchain. We also maintain TAO.app and TAOHash (Subnet 14) and forthcoming Subnet 5.
