About this event
AI agents are moving from generating content to making decisions, coordinating work, and soon, moving money. If you care about what happens when stablecoins, programmable payments, and autonomous systems collide, this event is where that conversation gets concrete. Set during TOKEN2049 Singapore, Proof of AI - Stablecoin, Agentic Payment & Autonomous Economy brings together people building at the edge of fintech, crypto, and AI infrastructure. Expect a sharp, in-person evening focused on how autonomous software will transact, how payment rails need to evolve, and what a real machine-native economy could look like. About the Event This is an in-person gathering in Singapore hosted by PayPal Ventures, KITE AI, and 499 for founders, operators, investors, and technical builders thinking seriously about the next layer of digital commerce. The focus is not AI in the abstract. It is the financial and operational infrastructure required when agents need to pay, settle, verify, and act with increasing independence. The core theme is simple: as AI systems become more capable, the economy around them has to become more programmable. Stablecoins create new possibilities for internet-native settlement. Agentic payment systems open the door to software that can complete tasks end to end. Together, they raise practical questions about trust, control, compliance, incentives, and product design. Rather than treating these topics as separate trends, this event puts them in one room. That makes it especially relevant for anyone trying to understand how autonomous agents, payment rails, and crypto infrastructure fit together in the near term, not just in theory. You should expect a curated, discussion-rich format shaped by the TOKEN2049 context: a room full of people already thinking deeply about the future of financial systems, AI products, and digital assets. What to Expect The evening is designed to help attendees move quickly from headline-level narratives to practical insight. Conversations will likely center on how agentic systems actually initiate and complete transactions, where stablecoins are most useful in AI-driven workflows, and what needs to be true for autonomous economic activity to scale. Expect a mix of perspectives across investment, infrastructure, and product. That means the discussion should be useful whether you are evaluating the category, building within it, or trying to understand where the next real opportunities are. Likely areas of focus include: Stablecoins as machine-friendly payment rails for faster, programmable, internet-native settlement Agentic payments and what it takes for AI systems to handle budgeting, execution, approvals, and reconciliation Autonomous economy design including incentives, identity, risk management, and accountability Operational realities such as trust layers, permissions, user control, and system boundaries Market signals and emerging use cases across fintech, crypto, and AI applications Because this is an in-person event during a major industry week, networking will be a meaningful part of the experience. You can expect conversations before, during, and after the main programming with people who are actively shaping these categories rather than just observing them. Why Attend If you have been hearing big claims about AI agents transacting on-chain or stablecoins powering the next generation of commerce, this event gives you a better lens for separating substance from hype. You will leave with a clearer sense of what is technically feasible now, what infrastructure is still missing, and where teams are seeing real momentum. This is also a useful room for pattern recognition. The intersection of AI and payments is still taking shape, which means the best insights often come from hearing how adjacent players frame the same problem differently. An investor may think in terms of primitives and defensibility. A founder may focus on user trust and workflow design. An operator may care about controls, compliance, and implementation friction. Attending can help you: Understand how stablecoins fit into agent-driven products and services Learn what people mean by agentic payment in practical, product-level terms Identify where the autonomous economy is becoming real and where it remains speculative Meet others working on similar questions across AI, fintech, crypto, and infrastructure Develop sharper language and frameworks for your own product, investment, or research decisions For many attendees, the value will be as much about the room as the stage. In fast-moving categories, high-quality conversations can compress months of scattered reading into one evening of direct signal. Practical Details This event takes place in person in Singapore, Singapore on Tuesday, September 30 at 7:00 PM GMT+8. If you are already in town for TOKEN2049, it is a strong opportunity to continue the week with a more focused discussion around one of the most important emerging intersections in the market. Because the topic spans AI, stablecoins, and autonomous systems, it will likely appeal to a cross-functional crowd. You do not need to fit neatly into one label to get value from attending. If your work touches digital payments, crypto rails, AI products, marketplaces, or machine coordination, the themes should be immediately relevant. A few reasons to plan ahead: It is in person, so the main upside includes live discussion and relationship-building It starts in the evening, making it a practical add-on to a full conference day The subject matter is specialized, which usually leads to higher-signal conversations with peers who share your focus If you want a smarter view of how money movement changes when software becomes more autonomous, this is the room to be in.
Who should attend
This is for people who want a sharper, more practical understanding of how AI agents, stablecoins, and programmable payments are coming together. - You are a **founder or product builder** working on AI, fintech, crypto, payments, marketplaces, or infrastructure and want to understand what agentic transactions could enable in real products. - You are an **investor, analyst, or ecosystem operator** tracking where autonomous systems may create new markets, new rails, or new application layers. - You are a **developer, protocol builder, or technical operator** thinking about wallets, settlement, identity, permissions, orchestration, or other pieces needed for machine-driven commerce. - You work in **payments, treasury, or financial operations** and want to see how stablecoins and automation may change transaction flows, controls, and coordination. - You are part of the **TOKEN2049 crowd** but want a more focused room where the conversation goes deeper than broad conference talking points. - You are curious about the **autonomous economy**, but you prefer grounded discussion about infrastructure, incentives, and real implementation challenges over vague futurism.
