The Hidden Edge: Why Privacy Will Define the Next Wave of Capital in Blockchain
As institutional adoption deepens, blockchain is entering its next phase one where privacy isn’t a feature, but a foundation. This panel explores why capital is increasingly flowing toward privacy-preserving infrastructure and how these technologies unlock new markets in finance, identity, and compliance. Industry leaders and investors will discuss how privacy can protect competitive advantage, enable regulatory alignment, and ultimately drive the maturation of digital asset markets.

Healing the Trust Gap: Privacy, Proof, and the Future of Health Data
Modern healthcare runs on data, but the systems that manage it are broken. From genomic research to electronic medical records, every interaction raises questions about ownership, consent, and transparency. In this conversation, leaders in privacy tech and healthcare innovation discuss how zero-knowledge cryptography, verifiable credentials, and decentralized identity could transform trust in global health systems enabling collaboration without exposure.

AI × Web3: Democratizing Smart Agents, On-Chain Tools & No-Code Futures
Artificial intelligence and blockchain are converging to reshape how we build, own, and interact with digital systems. This panel brings together innovators from OODA, DEGA, and Web3Fast — three teams pioneering the fusion of AI, autonomy, and decentralized infrastructure.
Together, they’ll explore how AI-powered agents, no-code development, and on-chain logic are lowering barriers to entry and giving creators, developers, and businesses new ways to build and deploy intelligent applications. From OODA’s decentralized AI and data privacy architecture, to DEGA’s no-code agent builder and AI marketplace, to Web3Fast’s AI-driven smart contract and dApp generation platform, this discussion will unpack how these technologies complement each other to democratize innovation in the next phase of the internet.
