From "Raise Shrimp for Everyone" to Smart Economy, the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival AIxWeb3 Summit Agenda Revealed!

OpenClaw’s breakout has kicked off a nationwide wave of “shrimp farming,” and when the “intelligent emergence” of artificial intelligence directly meets Web3’s “trust machine,” what we’re seeing is far more than a simple stacking of technologies—it’s a deep-rooted revolution about value creation, allocation, and re-evaluation. When an AI Agent makes the interface “disappear,” what is the ultimate form of human-computer interaction? Does AI really need Web3?

On the afternoon of April 20, 2026, during Hong Kong’s 2026 Web3 Carnival venue Event Hall 1, there will be a themed forum titled “Web3×AI: Reconstructing Value in the Intelligent Age,” bringing together trailblazers from around the world in the AI and Web3 fields. From the “lilypad” tales on the cutting edge of Silicon Valley, to the underlying logic of enterprise practice; from hands-on real-world experience in secure collaboration, to future rehearsals of human-AI symbiosis—this event delivers a hard-hitting deep dive and forward-looking insights, exploring new possibilities for the integration of Web3 and AI in the intelligent age.

Silicon Valley AI tech blogger Lang Hanwei will reveal what Silicon Valley is using “lilies” for. From a unique perspective as a tech blogger, he’ll help you decode the most “wild” overseas frontier developments. John, the Asia-Pacific Head of TON Foundation, will share innovative explorations of how TON ecosystem collaboration with AI works. Miguel Palencia, Co-Founder of Qtum, will break down how to drive AI and Web3 from the “lab” to the “app world,” building efficient collaboration technical bridges for developers and enterprises.

Cobo Co-Founder and CTO Changhao Jiang will, based on practical experience, make clear the synergy between Web3 security and AI, safeguarding the steady progress of the integrated ecosystem. MaxQuant CEO Jeffery Zeng will focus on innovative applications of AI technology in asset analysis and risk control, helping you see entirely new value at the intersection of finance and technology. Adrian Brink, Co-Founder of Anoma, will also discuss the future blueprint for the co-existence of AI and Web3, guiding decentralized ecosystems to new heights of intelligence.

In addition to keynote presentations that get right to the pain points, there will also be high-quality panel discussions that bring together industry elites to discuss the core issues of the integration of AI and Web3 today.

On one side is AI’s centralized reliance on data, compute power, and models; on the other side is Web3’s pursuit of decentralization, privacy, and verifiable ownership. Are the two naturally complementary—or is it a “forced marriage,” like a “tightly twisted melon”? Hosted by He Xiaoyang, CEO of Gen Labs Limited, and joined by guests including Keywolf, Partner and Product Lead at SlowMist Technology, as well as Michael Yung, Google Cloud strategic advisor, the panel discussion “Does AI really need Web3?” will explore the complementary space between AI and Web3, from data privacy and decentralized compute power to value verification and ownership—discussing possible paths from “technology stacking” to “value co-existence,” and interpreting a brand-new turn in Web3 security in the AI era.

As AI Agents accelerate to permeate every industry, human-computer interaction is entering a “disappearing interface” revolution. From GUI that lets you “point and search,” to conversational interfaces that let you “say and have it done,” and then to autonomous Agents that let you “ask and it handles”—what exactly does the ultimate form of human-computer interaction look like? Guests including Zolo Xiong, Co-Founder of Deep Tide TechFlow, KK, Chief Operating Officer of Virtuals Protocol, Cindy Shi, Chief Marketing Officer of Kite AI, Bob, CEO of Questflow, and others will discuss topics such as the autonomy of AI Agents, user incentives, and experience, dissecting how AI Agents break the boundaries of traditional human-computer interaction and reconstruct entirely new paradigms for production and life as well as industrial operations.

Value reconstruction in the intelligent age never waits for onlookers; the best opportunities always belong to those who are present. This time, standing shoulder to shoulder with global top technology guests, we’ll pierce through the fog of technology, decode the core code behind the integration of Web3 and AI, and explore new possibilities for value in the intelligent age.
