In a compelling evening that brought together Web3 leaders, technologists, and innovators, Decentral House welcomed over 100 participants for a deep dive into the convergence of AI and blockchain, two of the most transformative technologies shaping the future.
Titled “AI Agents & Web3: The Future is Taking Shape”, the event featured prominent speakers Maria Minaricova, Director at Fetch.ai Foundation, and Mattijs de Vries, Founder of Nuklai, who explored the practical applications of autonomous AI agents within decentralized ecosystems.
AI Agents: Beyond the Buzz
Autonomous agents, software entities capable of making decisions, executing transactions, and communicating with other agents or systems are rapidly transitioning from conceptual to operational.
During her keynote, Maria Minaricova positioned these agents as fundamental building blocks of tomorrow’s internet infrastructure.
“People say data is the new oil but we believe it’s the new oxygen,” said Minaricova.
“AI Agents today are like websites in the early 2000s: those who understand and experiment with them now will be the ones defining the digital economy of the future.”
Her remarks underscored Fetch.ai’s core mission: to create open, decentralized systems where autonomous agents enhance coordination, reduce inefficiencies, and unlock new economic models.
Building Smart Data Infrastructure
Joining Minaricova on stage was Mattijs de Vries, whose company Nuklai is building data collaboration frameworks designed to power the next generation of AI systems.
He emphasized the importance of building intelligent infrastructure that allows machines to learn and interact securely via blockchain.
“Data today is fragmented, underutilized, and often locked in silos. By connecting AI and blockchain, we’re building environments where data doesn’t just sit, it becomes actionable.”
Both speakers agreed: autonomous systems are no longer theoretical. They are being deployed today, and the momentum is accelerating.
Decentral House: A Home for Innovation in the Heart of Geneva
This event is part of Decentral House’s ongoing mission to position Geneva as a European capital for blockchain innovation, connecting legal, financial, and technological communities in one ecosystem.
Located at the crossroads of diplomacy and finance, Decentral House serves as a hub for Web3 professionals, offering workspace solutions, startup support, and a curated calendar of thought leadership events.
“Our goal is to build a community where ideas are tested, launched, and scaled — not just discussed,”” said Elli Koch from Decentral House.
“Bringing in projects like Fetch.ai and Nuklai reflects our drive to turn new ideas into action and move technology forward..”
Next Steps: From Insight to Implementation
Following the panel, participants engaged in a lively Q&A and networking session, sparking conversations around quantum computing, regulatory frameworks, and ethical AI deployment. The evening ended with a shared sentiment:
The future is happening now, and those who lean in early will shape what comes next.
