About this event
AI is moving from assistant to actor, and money is moving with it. If you’re paying attention to how stablecoins, agentic payments, and autonomous systems are starting to connect, this event is designed to help you get a clearer picture of what’s real, what’s next, and where the biggest opportunities are emerging. Set during Devconnect in Buenos Aires, Proof of AI - Stablecoin, Agentic Payment & Autonomous Economy brings together people building at the edge of AI and financial infrastructure. Expect a focused in-person gathering where conversations go beyond headlines and into the practical questions shaping an autonomous economy. About the Event This event sits at the intersection of AI, payments, and onchain financial systems. The core theme is simple but important: as AI agents become more capable, they will need ways to transact, coordinate, and operate with increasing independence. Stablecoins and programmable payment rails are becoming a serious part of that story. Rather than treating AI and payments as separate industries, this gathering looks at how they are converging. It is built for people who want to understand what agentic commerce might look like in practice, how autonomous systems could use financial tools, and what infrastructure still needs to be built for that future to work reliably. The format is in person, which matters for a topic like this. Some of the most valuable conversations in emerging categories happen when founders, operators, investors, researchers, and builders can pressure-test ideas face to face. Being in the room gives you the chance to hear how others are thinking about the same problems from different angles. You should expect a strong mix of big-picture framing and practical discussion. This is not just about theory or trend-watching. It is about the systems, behaviors, business models, and technical building blocks that could define the next wave of digital economic activity. What to Expect The evening will center on the themes named in the title: stablecoins, agentic payments, and the autonomous economy. That means discussions are likely to explore how value moves when software agents initiate actions, make decisions, and interact with services on behalf of users, companies, or networks. You can expect a program shaped around a combination of short-form insights and room-for-conversation energy. At an event like this, the value often comes from hearing a sharp perspective, then being able to continue the discussion with people who are actively building around the same set of questions. Here are the kinds of topics attendees will likely engage with: Stablecoins as infrastructure for internet-native coordination, global settlement, and always-on transactions Agentic payment flows and what changes when AI systems can trigger, route, or manage transactions Autonomous economic behavior across apps, services, protocols, and machine-to-machine interactions Trust, safety, and control in systems where software takes more financial action Product and market design questions around adoption, usability, incentives, and compliance-aware implementation The near-term reality of what builders can deploy now versus what remains speculative Because the event takes place during Devconnect, you can also expect a highly relevant audience. People attending are likely already engaged in crypto, infrastructure, AI, or adjacent technical ecosystems, which raises the quality of discussion and makes networking more useful. Why Attend If you are trying to understand where AI becomes economic infrastructure, this event can help you connect the dots faster. The conversation around autonomous agents is often broad and abstract; this gathering narrows the focus to one of the most consequential layers: how agents pay, get paid, and participate in markets. For founders and builders, this is a chance to sharpen your view of the stack. You may leave with a better sense of what products are becoming possible, which assumptions are changing, and what user or system needs are still underserved. That can directly affect roadmap decisions, partnership ideas, and product direction. For investors, researchers, and ecosystem participants, the event offers a useful signal on how serious operators are framing the space right now. It helps you separate narrative from traction, and broad excitement from the specific primitives that could matter most. There is also a practical advantage to being in the room early. Categories like agentic payments and autonomous economies are still taking shape, which means the people showing up now are not just observing the market, they are helping define it. Conversations at this stage can lead to collaborations, new lines of inquiry, and a more grounded view of where the ecosystem is actually headed. Practical Details Location: In person in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This is a physical gathering, so plan to attend on site and make the most of direct conversation before, during, and after the main program. Date and time: Thursday, November 20 at 7:00 PM GMT-3. Since it is an evening event, expect a format that is well suited to both structured discussion and informal networking. A few useful notes for attendees: This event is especially relevant if you are already in Buenos Aires for Devconnect and want a sharper lens on AI-meets-payments conversations. The strongest value will likely come from arriving ready to discuss concrete ideas, products, or questions rather than just listen passively. Because the topic spans multiple disciplines, it helps to come with both a technical and market perspective in mind. In-person events in emerging spaces often reward staying through the full session and conversations afterward. If you care about what happens when AI systems gain the ability to transact and coordinate economically, this is the right room to be in. The themes are timely, the setting is well matched to serious discussion, and the people drawn to this topic are likely to make the night worth your time.
Who should attend
This is for people who want a sharper, more practical understanding of how AI and programmable money are starting to merge. - **You’re a founder or product builder** working on AI, fintech, crypto, payments, wallets, infrastructure, or developer tools, and you want to understand what agentic payments could unlock. - **You’re an engineer or researcher** exploring autonomous agents, onchain systems, coordination mechanisms, or machine-to-machine interactions, and you want to compare ideas with others building close to the metal. - **You’re an investor, analyst, or ecosystem operator** tracking where AI creates new financial behaviors, and you want better signal on what is becoming technically and commercially viable. - **You’re part of the stablecoin or payments world** and want to see how your space may evolve as software agents become active economic participants. - **You’re attending Devconnect** and looking for a high-context side event with serious conversation, relevant people, and a strong overlap between crypto infrastructure and AI. - **You’re curious but technically minded** and want discussion that goes beyond hype into product, infrastructure, trust, and adoption questions. If you have been asking what the autonomous economy actually looks like in practice, you will likely find your people here.
