Season 1: agents meet blockchain.

What can a blockchain give an AI agent?

Season 1 introduced AI Agents Berlin as “the city's leading event series exploring the convergence of agentic AI and blockchain.” That line was a hypothesis, not a finding. The season was built to test it: one ecosystem at a time in the spring, all of them on one stage in June, then in front of builders with a deadline.

The Summit split the question four ways — one track each.

// Tracks from the AI Agents Summit 2025 programme (ai-agents-summit.com/ais25); panel title from the Summit's own session slide. Sessions also covered agent-to-agent collaboration, decentralised agents, autonomous payments, prediction markets and trust infrastructure.

Ten events, January to December.

// Counts are Luma registrations as shown on each event page, rounded down. From August the Algorand sessions ran on the 42 Berlin Blockchain Luma calendar, co-organised by AI Agents Berlin. Earlier Blockchain × AI virtual sessions are not listed.

Algorand Hackathon: AI Meets Blockchain.

Two days at Circuit — then named w3.hub — on 3–4 September 2025: builders experimenting with AI tools on Algorand. 180+ registrations and €5,000 in prizes. One minute, from doors to the final pitches.

Organised with 42 Berlin Blockchain

Too early for agents on-chain. Not too early for the case.

In 2025 it was still too early to find AI agents running on-chain. But the value proposition of AI × blockchain became clear early on: an agent can hold and move money on its own, prove who it is and what it has done, and settle with another agent — without a person approving every step.

The first of those — an agent that can pay and be paid — is what Season 2 was built on. It opened on 18 February 2026 with a workshop on x402, an open protocol for internet-native, pay-per-request payments, and spent the next five months on what else an agent needs before it can transact on its own.
