This mixer was more than a side event — it was a signal of how fast the lines between AI and Web3 ecosystems are blurring. For us, it’s another step in:

  • Building trust networks for AI data.

  • Supporting builders in DePIN and decentralized AI.

  • Creating direct connections between KOLs, projects, and infrastructure providers.
