In a timely move following this week’s crippling Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage, Google Cloud is joining forces with decentralized infrastructure protocol Lava Network and its core developer Magma Devs to host a high-profile event in New York City on October 24.

The event’s focus is the “autonomous economy,” a new frontier of digital commerce powered by AI agents and programmable money like stablecoins. Lava Network, which functions as a decentralized marketplace for blockchain RPC and API access, is positioning itself as the critical infrastructure layer for this emerging economy.

The recent AWS failure, which took down thousands of services, served as a stark reminder of the systemic risks tied to centralized cloud infrastructure. The incident has intensified the industry’s search for resilient, decentralized alternatives to eliminate these critical single points of failure.

Against this backdrop, the New York gathering will explore the robust infrastructure needed to prevent such digital blackouts. Magma Devs, a key $15 million-backed contributor to the Lava Network, is putting its enterprise RPC Smart Router solution front and center. The technology, which is powered by Lava’s multi-vendor protocol, is designed to connect to any enterprise infrastructure. It ensures high availability and low latency, allowing for operational continuity even if a major centralized provider goes dark.

The event aims to move beyond theoretical solutions and focus on the “actual infrastructure” required for a scalable, AI-led financial system. Attendees will gain first-hand access to real-world applications demonstrating how agentic AI and programmable money will function in practice, rather than theory. The goal is to define what the next wave of mass adoption, built on decentralized rails, will look like.

The speaker lineup underscores the event’s significance, bridging the gap between Web3 pioneers and established financial and tech giants. Yair Cleper, Co-founder at Magma Devs, will take the stage with a roster of industry heavyweights.

Speakers include Michael Shauluv, CEO of digital asset custody giant Fireblocks; Rich Widmann, Head of Web3 Strategy at Google Cloud; Yevheniia Broshevan, CEO of cybersecurity firm Hacken; David Schwed, CISO of trading platform Robinhood; and Omer Goldberg, CEO of DeFi risk management firm Chaos Labs.

The protocol’s approach has already gained traction, with industry leaders like Fireblocks, NEAR, Arbitrum, and Starknet utilizing Lava Network to standardize and reinforce their blockchain connectivity.
