DavosWeb3 2026: Future of Web3 & AI with the Davos Declaration

Davos, Switzerland – February 4, 2026 – The second annual DavosWeb3 event, held on January 21, 2026, brought together leading investors, innovators, thought leaders, and pioneers in the Web3 space for a transformative roundtable discussion. Organized as an “anti-event” to foster genuine peer-to-peer connections, the gathering marked a significant shift in the global narrative around Web3, moving it from the periphery to the main stage of innovation in Davos.

DavosWeb3 featured a coalition of prominent organizations, including Manta Network, 0G Foundation, Blockchain Founders Fund, Unstoppable Domains, Kredete, Dentity, and Animoca Brands. The event emphasized building beyond speculation, culminating in the drafting of the Davos Declaration an ethical roadmap for the convergence of blockchain and AI. 

Recited by co-organizer Ajeet Khurana, the Declaration outlines seven core principles: Collaboration, Equitability, Transparency, Accountability, Inclusion, Decentralization, and Sustainability. This commitment aims to shape a digital economy where technology serves humanity with conscience and efficiency.

Key highlights from the event included insightful discussions on the maturation of the digital asset space. Aly Madhavji, Managing Partner at Blockchain Founders Fund, highlighted macro trends such as the rise of stablecoins and 24/7 markets driving financial inclusion. Dr. Jonathan Chang of the 0G Foundation explored user ownership models, where participants act as co-founders through token incentives, addressing traditional marketplace challenges.

Jeff Schwartz, CEO of Dentity, emphasized the role of trust in trustless systems, advocating for privacy-preserving identity verification to enhance security in digital interactions. Kenny Li of Manta Network discussed the shift from oversaturated infrastructure to targeted financial tooling, noting slower but higher-value adoption in financial protocols.

Additional signals from the event underscored ongoing commitments: Blockchain Founders Fund’s dedication to transparency and impact through investments in over 200 companies; 0G Foundation’s vision for AI as a public good with accountability; Manta Network’s five-year journey emphasizing longevity and scale; and Dentity’s milestones in decentralized identity for institutional processes.

Co-organizers Ajeet Khurana and Ronak Shah (founder of DroomDroom) reflected on the event’s evolution, noting Web3’s emergence as the frontier of innovation in Davos. “Great technology requires a greater conscience,” said Khurana, encapsulating the spirit of DavosWeb3.

DavosWeb3 continues to position itself as the premier destination for Web3 discourse, prioritizing ethical development and collaborative progress in the ownership economy.
