Cruise Control

We organized an exclusive boat party together with our partners from Aya, Pay3, 071 Labs & GCF, where we engaged in laid-back conversations and casual networking with innovators from across the Web3 and AI space. Talking about the latest decentralized AI and blockchain solutions and development perspectives with the Dubai skyline in the background was truly inspiring.

DeAI Summit

At DeAI Summit, our Strategy Lead, Kartik Jain, joined a panel called Proof of AI: Blockchain Foundations for Next-gen AI Infrastructure, where he had the opportunity to engage in a deep discussion on how AI infrastructure and blockchain solutions are closely tied together, forming the foundation of an AI-enhanced world. Aethir’s decentralized cloud infrastructure is an essential support pillar for AI innovation, and it utilizes blockchain technology to facilitate transactions and reward stakeholders, including Checker Node holders, Aethir Edge operators, ATH stakers, and GPU Cloud Hosts. The panel featured an AI industry all-star lineup from EigenLayer, Kite AI, Vana, SuperNet, and Gensyn.

Why APAC Is the Next Launchpad for DePIN

Why APAC Is the Next Launchpad for DePIN was a visionary panel discussion and part of the DePIN Rising: The Future of AI & IoT in APAC event, during which our CSO, Mark Rydon, had the pleasure to discuss the tremendous DePIN growth potential of the APAC region. The key discussion topics included DePIN’s fit with Asia’s digital growth trajectory and the cultural and regulatory readiness for mass DePIN expansion in APAC markets. The panel was organized by Kite AI and joined by our colleagues from Animoca Brands, Beamable, Auki Labs, and DeCharge.

ZK/AI Summit

Together with our partners from EigenLayer, Aethir joined the ZK/AI Summit’s ZK/AI Hot Seat. Our Strategy Lead, Kartik Jain, was answering a series of hard-hitting questions that dived into the details of Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud and its focus on AI infrastructure services. AI is exceptionally compute-hungry, and Aethir’s decentralized cloud infrastructure has the high-performance GPUs needed to power all types of enterprise AI use cases at scale, cost-effectively.

Numerous Speaking Opportunities for Aethir at TOKEN2049 Dubai

Apart from these events, our team also participated in 20+ additional events, addressing the key opportunities and challenges of dynamic market conditions, the global GPU demand surge, AI innovation, Web3 infrastructure, and DePIN solutions. Major conferences like TOKEN2049 aren’t just about networking. They are valuable opportunities to share ideas, exchange opinions, and engage in discussions with esteemed professionals from across the industry, jointly working toward common goals of AI, crypto, and Web3 innovation.
