Aleo’s first Asia-Pacific community event will be held in Shanghai, co-building a privacy computing developer ecosystem with OpenBuild

Privacy blockchain Aleo will team up with the open-source developer community OpenBuild on July 26 to hold the Aleo Shanghai Community Event in Shanghai. As an important stop in Aleo’s APAC ecosystem rollout, this event will bring together developers, entrepreneurs, Web3 professionals, and AI technology enthusiasts to explore the development trends of zero-knowledge proofs (Zero-Knowledge) and programmable privacy technologies, as well as the innovative opportunities created by the convergence of AI and privacy computing.

Unlike traditional tech-sharing events, this one places greater emphasis on developer participation and hands-on practice. On site, guests will not only be able to experience Aleo’s privacy infrastructure firsthand and complete real on-chain interactions, but will also get the chance to talk face-to-face with the Aleo team, share product experience and feedback, and jointly participate in the ongoing improvement of products and the ecosystem.

Building the APAC ecosystem with developers at the core

In recent years, as AI and Web3 technologies continue to converge, data privacy, secure computation, and trusted collaboration have become key directions the industry is paying close attention to. As a Layer1 blockchain focused on programmable privacy, Aleo is continuously working to build a developer ecosystem for privacy computing technology.

This Shanghai community event will also officially open a new chapter for Aleo’s developer communities in China and across the APAC region. During the event, the official team will present the latest ecosystem progress of Aleo, and for the first time disclose the upcoming APAC Hackathon plan, including event mechanics, prize settings, mentor support, and how teams are formed—providing developers with more opportunities to participate in building the global ecosystem.

AI × Programmable Privacy becomes a highlight of the event

The event’s themed talks will revolve around AI × Programmable Privacy, discussing how privacy computing can become an important foundation infrastructure for the next generation of the internet in the context of the rapid development of AI agents and intelligent applications.

In addition, the roundtable forum titled “Do Agents Need Privacy by Default?（Should AI Agents Protect Privacy by Default?）” will invite industry guests to jointly discuss hot topics such as data security, identity privacy, and trusted interactions for AI agents in future commercial applications, bringing developers more forward-looking perspectives.

Rich interactions to build a developer exchange platform

In addition to keynote speeches, this event also includes multiple segments such as product experience, user feedback, community interaction, and open free交流, with the goal of helping every participant deeply understand Aleo’s technology and connect with developers from Shanghai and surrounding areas, jointly promoting the growth of the local developer community.

Whether you have already participated in zero-knowledge proof (ZK)-related development, or you want to further understand the development directions of privacy on-chain applications and AI technologies, you will find opportunities for交流 and collaboration at this event.
