The first edition of the Unchained Summit, an event by Aeternum, took place on April 28th and 29th at Kempinski Central Avenue in Dubai. It is positioned among the most advanced events on the Global Web 3.0 calendar.
Dedicated to a new era of Web 3.0, blockchain, digital assets and AI integration, the summit has convened over 500 industry leaders, over 75 speakers, and a blend of innovators, investors, developers and policymakers from over 40 countries in one room. The summit is more than just another conference, building as a strategic platform where groundbreaking projects connect with builders, traditional finance meets Web 3.0 and thought leaders come together for deep knowledge sharing, collaboration and meaningful ecosystem growth.
Platform for visionary thinking
The speaker lineup featured some of the most respected names in the ecosystem. Some of the speakers who provide thought-inspired keynotes and engage in high-intensity panel sessions include:
Ronghui Gu, Certik, Certik, USA Kostas Chalkias, co-founder and chief cryptographer, Mysten Labs & Sui, UAE Sreeram Kannan, UAE Sreeram Kannan, USENLAYER, USAGENLAYER, USA MAY ZABANEH, VP of Products – Blockchain, Crypto & Digital Currencies Templeton Digital Assets, USA Keone Hon, co-founder of US Lennix Lai, Monad Foundation, Global Chief Commercial Officer, OKX, Hong Kong Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman, Animoca Brands, Hong Kong Alex Murashkin, Chief Security Officer, QuantStamp, Dubai Ananta Krishnan, Useder Moi Abhijit, USA ABHIJIT SHUKAMNAN, among other things India
Topics ranged from the future of Stablecoins and high-performance blockchain scalability to the convergence of AI and Web 3.0, the decentralized infrastructure (Depin), tokenized real-world assets (RWA), and future wave of institutional adoption in Crypto Finance. Each session offered practical takeaways. From emerging investment trends or from forging into the future of decentralized computing and sovereign infrastructure. In two-day discussions, interoperability, user-first design, and regulatory ease of use were repeatedly cited as drivers of the best possible potential for Web 3.0.
“Even though Web 3.0 is already an industry of USD 2-3 trillion, it is still relatively small compared to traditional markets. That’s why gatherings like Unchained Summit are extremely important. It supports connectivity, cooperation and stronger alignment across ecosystems.”
“Events like the Unchained Summit play an important role in fostering true community building within ecosystems,” said Sreeram Kannan, founder and CEO of Eigenlayer (USA).
In addition to on-stage content, the summit was also valuable for improvisational networking, which took place via private lounges, brand activations, afterparties and VIP meetups. A wide range of VCs, blockchain founders, solution providers and government officials used opportunities to share roadmap, establish new partnerships, and share transaction flows in an open environment.
“Unchained Summit plays a key role in strengthening the Web 3.0 ecosystem. Builders often work in silos, but these gatherings come closer to us. They encourage real connections and collaboration.
“The Unchained Summit was incredible. It brought together creators, innovators and capital allocators to not only discuss the big issues that form Web 3.0, but to actually do business and move the space forward.
Built for construction companies
From the start, Unchained Summit was intended to bring builders into the spotlight, not brands. The agenda is created with input from real players in the blockchain space, and the format can branch out from traditional one-way keynotes to include fireplace-side chats, panel discussions and networking sessions.
Specifically, the meeting focused on the “next frontier” including scaling decentralized infrastructure, unlocking modular AI agents, and creating the basis for tokenized financial products. These weren’t abstract arguments, but people shot straight from straight shoots with people who ship codes, maintain risk and promote adoption on the streets.
“Unchained Summit made a rare and powerful debut on the Global Web 3.0 circuit with an outstanding lineup of speakers featuring leaders from PayPal, Animoca and Ripple. The event provided sharp and relevant insights. A strong start to Dubai’s Crypto Week, said Alena Afanaseva, founder and CEO of Argentina’s Beincrypto.
“Dubai was the perfect backdrop to launch this movement. What we’ve seen over the last two days was a genuine hunger for dialogue that is not hype. People look forward to continuing this success again in Dubai and India later this year.
