In this intimate fireside chat from Zuzitzerland, Vitalik Buterin and Tomasz K. Stanczak (founder of Nethermind) dive into the evolving relationship between Ethereum, AI, and the next generation of decentralized societies.
From autonomous drones and agentic DAOs to network states, pop-up villages, and the meaning of identity in an AI-driven world — they explore how d/acc (decentralized acceleration) could transform both digital and physical governance.
The conversation moves from philosophical reflections on consciousness and autonomy to practical ideas: verifying truth through blockchain, automating governance, and imagining multi-planetary Ethereum nodes stretching from Switzerland to Mars.
🔹 Highlights:
- The origins and evolution of Ethereum’s purpose - DAOs, AI agents, and decentralized governance - The role of L2 networks in scaling new societies - Building autonomous economies for drones and robots - On-chain identity, privacy, and the future of verification - Switzerland as a hub for crypto urbanism and Zuzalu-like experiments - How decentralization, AI, and governance converge in a d/acc world
