NEARCON Sessions: Infra for Intelligence

​ZK, DePIN, and Decentralized Compute + Machine Learning (DCML)

​AI agents can’t thrive without the right foundations.
From zero-knowledge proofs to decentralized compute and machine learning, the infrastructure layer determines whether intelligence is open, private, and resilient — or centralized and captured.

​Join us for Infra for Intelligence, an invite-only evening co-hosted with zk builders and infrastructure partners. We’ll dive into the architectures, protocols, and coordination layers that make decentralized AI possible, and showcase the teams laying the rails for the next generation of agentic systems. Expect technical depth, live infra demos, and networking with the builders defining this space.
