Consensus HK was a success! Huge thanks to everyone who came out to discuss how Irys is bringing high-performance data to AI.We’re running it back at ETH Denver this week—catch @josh_benaron speaking at:BUIDL Week → Feb 25, 2:35 - 2:55 PMMain Event → Feb 27, 5:45 - 6:05 PMDon't forget to stop by our booth to meet the team (and Lil Sprite). See you there!

Insights from Consensus HK 🇭🇰Our team had the opportunity to attend the "AI-Powered Web3: The Path to Adoption" panel at the Hack Seasons Conference in Hong Kong, and the takeaways were definitely eye-opening.Key insights from the discussion:✅ From automating research to optimizing development, AI is enhancing efficiency across industries.✅Some teams no longer use Google, instead relying entirely on AI tools for research, operations, and decision-making.✅ AI + Blockchain = The inevitable future The decentralized nature of blockchain aligns perfectly with AI-driven automation, creating trustless, efficient ecosystems.✅ Sovereign AI Agents? 🤯 The concept of self-hosted, autonomous AI agents that choose where to execute their tasks and pay for their own resources is on the horizon.✅ The biggest challenge? Training AI on unbiased, decentralized data. Many panelists emphasized the need for open-access AI models built on trusted, verifiable blockchain data.Thank you to the panel for sharing their knowledge on AI and Web3:🎙️Evgeny Ponomarev (@eponomarev), Co-Founder of @fluence_project🎙️Josh Benaron (@josh_benaron), Founder of @irys_xyz🎙️Clara Tsao (@tweetclarita), Founding Officer at @Filecoin🎙️Mark Rydon (@MRRydon), Co-Founder of @AethirCloud🔥 The Verdict? AI and blockchain are not just complementary—they are on a collision course for mass adoption. The next five years will be pivotal, and Web3-native AI agents may become the new normal.What are your thoughts on AI’s role in Web3?
