The privacy-focused public blockchain Aleo will join hands with the open-source developer community OpenBuild to host the Aleo Shanghai Community Event in Shanghai on July 26. As a key stop in Aleo's Asia-Pacific (APAC) ecosystem expansion, this event will bring together developers, entrepreneurs, Web3 practitioners, and AI technology enthusiasts to explore the development trends of Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZK) and programmable privacy technology, as well as the innovative opportunities arising from the convergence of AI and privacy computing.
Different from traditional tech-sharing events, this event emphasizes developer participation and hands-on experience. Attendees will not only have the chance to personally experience Aleo's privacy infrastructure and complete real on-chain interactions but will also have the opportunity to engage in face-to-face discussions with the Aleo team. They can share product experiences and feedback, jointly participating in the continuous improvement of products and the ecosystem.
Focus on Developers, Co-building the APAC Ecosystem
In recent years, as AI and Web3 technologies continue to converge, data privacy, secure computation, and trusted collaboration have become critical focal points for the industry. As a Layer1 public chain dedicated to programmable privacy, Aleo is actively advancing the developer ecosystem for privacy computing technology.
This Shanghai community event also marks the official launch of a new chapter for Aleo's developer community in China and the broader APAC region. During the event, the official team will present the latest progress on Aleo's ecosystem and, for the first time, disclose details about the upcoming APAC Hackathon plan, including competition mechanics, prize pool, mentor support, and team formation methods, providing developers with more opportunities to participate in global ecosystem building.
AI × Programmable Privacy as a Highlight of the Event
The keynote presentations at this event will focus on AI × Programmable Privacy, discussing how privacy computing can become a crucial infrastructure for the next-generation internet, especially in the context of the rapid development of AI Agents and intelligent applications.
Furthermore, the panel discussion "Do Agents Need Privacy by Default?" will invite industry guests to jointly explore hot topics such as data security, identity privacy, and trusted interactions for AI Agents in future commercial applications, offering developers more forward-thinking insights.
Rich Interactions, Building a Developer Exchange Platform
In addition to keynote speeches, the event features multiple segments including product demonstrations, user feedback sessions, community networking, and free discussion. The goal is to ensure every participant can gain a deep understanding of Aleo's technology, establish connections with developers from Shanghai and surrounding areas, and collectively promote the growth of the local developer community.
Whether you are already involved in Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZK) related development or wish to learn more about the direction of private on-chain applications and AI technology, you will find opportunities for exchange and collaboration at this event.
