In our first recap, we highlighted our technical advancements and collaborations during Devcon, including the successful launch of our Active Validator Service (AVS) on EigenLayer. Now, as promised, here’s Recap 2 —a deep dive into the AI-focused events, partnerships, and unique insights we gained throughout this incredible week.
Workshops and Collaborations: AI Meets On-Chain Data
Gaia Workshop: Practical AI Integration
At a stunning villa in Bangkok, we teamed up with Gaia to host an intimate workshop showcasing the power of AI integrated with blockchain.
What We Showcased:
Chainbase’s “Manuscript,” a standardized framework for on-chain data processing, was demonstrated live.
We highlighted its integration with Gaia’s Model API, which allows users to seamlessly fetch on-chain data and utilize it for AI model training and inference.
Special Moment:
An impromptu conversation between Luki (our Ecosystem Lead) and Gaia’s Ratish brought out the humor and synergy between the two teams, making this workshop uniquely memorable. Make sure you check out this sweet little clip just for some giggles and bite-size info.
Networking and Innovation: AI-Powered Applications
Google Gemini Integration and Exponent.io
At an event hosted by Aethir and 0G, we presented how Manuscript enables integration with Google Gemini, unlocking new possibilities for developers to create AI-powered applications.
Key Connection:
We met the team from Exponent.io, who are developing an AI-powered Crypto Research Co-Pilot. Discussions began around how Chainbase can enhance their tools with our infrastructure.
Panels and Discussions: Shaping the Future of AI and Web3
Sentient’s AI Event: The Intersection of Two Worlds
As sponsors and panelists, we joined an insightful discussion moderated by Adrien from Google Web3 alongside leaders from 0G Labs, Kite AI, and RSS3.
Focus:
How AI and Web3 complement and depend on each other for innovation.
Live Demo:
Our Senior Architect showcased how Chainbase integrates on-chain data with Google BigQuery, making it simpler for developers to conduct AI-driven analytics.
HackQuest: Web3 Meets AI
Despite challenges like heavy traffic and rain delays, the HackQuest panel proved to be a highlight of Devcon.
Fun Highlights:
A dynamic discussion between Luki and the CEO of Botanika on synthetic data sparked new ideas and collaborations.
This interaction led to an invitation to Botanika’ VIP afterparty at Baccarat, where we further cemented partnerships.
AiFi: Next-gen Infra and Application for Decentralized AI
Our COO, Chris Feng had the opportunity to discuss real-life use cases for DeAI with Near, Mind Network, 0G and Kite Ai on a panel.
Collaboration opportunity ahead:
We had a very good discussion with Mind Network afterwards. They are building something that is necessary for user data privacy. We are excited to explore further collaborations!
Industry Insight: AI’s Role in Blockchain
Asia’s Super Apps: Lessons for AI and Web3
At Dune Con, insights from Tiger Research emphasized the rise of super apps in Asia (like WeChat, Grab, and Line) and their influence on crypto adoption.
Takeaways:
Asia boasts over 320M crypto users and 50M developers, but with 2,300+ languages and varying regulations, localization is key to success.
The lessons learned here will guide how AI and Web3 solutions are tailored for diverse audiences.
Partnerships and Achievements: Celebrating Success
0G Labs: Congrats to our partner, 0G for securing $290M in funding to advance decentralized AI. We’re proud to support their efforts by providing robust on-chain data infrastructure.
Assisterr: We are looking forward to partnering to enhance their network of specialized small language models with Chainbase’s technology.
Gaia: We are working hard to design the first Gaia <> Chainbase AI initiative campaign. Stay tuned for the details!
Exponent.io: We are exploring how Chainbase can supercharge their AI-driven crypto research tools.
Phala Network: We are exploring combining Chainbase’s data infrastructure with Phala’s TEE co-processor technology, enabling secure AI model inference.
Mind Network: We are very thrilled to combine “data randomization” into data privacy initiatives. More collaboration details are on the way!
Looking Ahead: Join the Conversation
Bangkok was a hub of activity with over 1,000 side events, and while we couldn’t attend them all, the ones we joined were transformative. Now, as we look ahead, we’re excited to continue driving innovation at the intersection of AI and Web3.
Our upcoming December Community Call featuring special guests, interactive activities, and exclusive giveaways. Mark your calendars and join us on Discord for more updates!
