"ETHDenver 2025: AI, Blockchain, and Robots Converge"
1min read ETHDenver 2025, a prominent developer-centric event in the Ethereum ecosystem, has made headlines with its inclusion of policy discussions. The event, which took place in March 2025, brought together industry experts, developers, and enthusiasts to discuss the latest trends and innovations in the world of Ethereum.
The conference kicked off with powerful messages from blockchain leaders, including Lidia Yadlos, who shared her vision for the future of blockchain technology. The event also marked a significant milestone for sol global, which completed a strategic reorganization to optimize asset value.
One of the key topics discussed at ETHDenver 2025 was the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology and robotics. Industry experts from coinbase Developer Platform, OpenMind, and Robonomics shared their insights on how AI-powered humanoid robots and other systems can leverage blockchain to function as independent economic agents.
Coinbase Developer Platform's Lead Developer, Nemil Dalal, highlighted the limitations of AI in managing transactions autonomously and introduced Agent Kit, a framework that enables AI to perform on-chain actions. Dalal noted that over 2,000 developers have built on top of Agent Kit, contributing to over $100 million in value.

OpenMind's founder, Jan Liphardt, emphasized the challenges AI-driven humanoid robots face in human-centric environments and how blockchain technology can help mitigate these issues. Liphardt explained that OpenMind designed Iris, a humanoid robot, to use multiple cryptocurrency wallets to facilitate transactions and enforce transparent and immutable governance rules on Ethereum.
Vitaly Bulatov, evangelist with robotics startup Robonomics, discussed how blockchain technology offers resources for smaller robotics developers. Bulatov noted that Unitree G1, a humanoid robot developed by Robonomics, uses Polkadot to gain additional computational power for its cognitive layer and enables robots to be independent agents capable of managing transactions and contractual relationships.
In addition to these discussions, ETHDenver 2025 also featured a live-streaming roundtable hosted by the SEC Crypto Task Force. The task force aims to provide clarity on applying federal securities laws to the crypto market while recommending practical policy measures that balance innovation and investor protection.
