What is AI³ Growth Journey
"AI is eating software, Web3 is restructuring production relationships." While Vitalik and Sam Altman have yet to shake hands at Davos, code and smart contracts are already reshaping the world's operating rules. At this moment, a developer awakening movement spanning the Asia-Pacific is about to embark!
AI³ Growth Journey is an AI+Web3 series of activities jointly launched by OpenBuild and Weekly Hackathon. Starting from March, over the next 10 months, we will conduct online collaborative learning each month based on specific themes/ecosystems in the AI + Web3 field, and randomly select hotspot cities to hold offline Mini-Hackathons, guiding developers to produce project applications related to specific themes/ecosystems.
Why is the Fusion of AI and Web3 So Important?
The convergence of AI and Web3 is creating entirely new possibilities:
- Lowering Technical Barriers: AI tools make writing complex smart contracts simpler
- Optimizing Development Efficiency: Automating code generation, testing, and auditing processes
- Expanding Application Scenarios: Enabling autonomous agents, on-chain data analysis, personalized experiences
- Empowering DAO Governance: Improving collaboration efficiency and collective decision-making quality
This fusion provides entry opportunities for participants of all technical levels, whether you're an experienced blockchain developer or a newcomer just starting to explore.
Two Target Audiences
Our content is carefully designed for two types of developers:
💡 Developers Unfamiliar with Web3
