The AMPLIFY 2026 summit, co-hosted by ChainTimes and GAEA VENTURES with AetheriumX, Origins Network, Monera Digital, and DDEX, concluded successfully in Hong Kong's Causeway Bay on April 20-21, 2026. Centered on the theme "AI × Web3 × Quant — Quantifying Growth in Web 4.0," the event gathered top crypto finance CEOs, leading investors, and industry experts to discuss AI agents, on-chain autonomous trading, RWA integration, and institutional digital credit.
Day 1: Venture Horizon — Institutional Capital and AI Infrastructure
On April 20, the Venture Horizon session opened with remarks from GAEA VENTURES founder Logan and ChainTimes co-founder Xichen, setting a tone of "deep connection and quantified growth." Speakers including Origins technical advisor Stefanel, AetheriumX marketing director Goran, and Monera Digital CEO Gongye shared insights on technology, market strategy, and ecosystem development. The highlight roundtable "Redefining Capital: Bridging TradFi and Digital Assets" featured Norman and Ming Wen discussing how traditional capital can access on-chain assets through compliance pathways and the future of institutional-grade digital asset solutions. AWS, DDEX, and LiberCEX supported the event.
DDEX, a perpetual contract protocol combining AI technology, node governance, and multi-chain architecture, offers performance comparable to centralized exchanges with full on-chain transparency. Users can trade crypto assets, DeFi, and tokenized RWA, with $DDD tokens enabling platform governance.
Day 2: Dense Agenda and AI Demo Day Live Demonstrations
The main agenda on April 21 ran from 14:00 to 22:00, with increased content density and interaction depth. The opening ceremony featured Logan, Xichen, Noos ecosystem head Vlada, Stefanel, Goran, and Gongye. ChainTimes, a content and data-driven media platform founded in 2018, showcased its TruthX KOL star map function, continuing its role as a Web3 project value discovery and growth connector.
AetheriumX, based on the Decentralized Capital Intelligence Protocol (DCIP), demonstrated its dual-token model (AXT/VEXA) integrating DeFi, GameFi, and prediction markets, turning passive yield into a participable, composable growth loop. Its dynamic asset optimization and deflationary economic model, combined with AI arbitration and on-chain strategy scheduling, stood out.
Noos Network aims to bridge AI and blockchain value silos; Vlada explained how smart protocols and decentralized data streams transform on-chain assets into AI-driven, dynamically assessable "active value units." Origins Network, a high-performance modular public chain, detailed its POS consensus and Sharding 1.0 for high throughput and low cost, plus a decentralized GPU computing network supporting AI training and native ORC20 inscription ecosystem. Monera Digital shared its AI-native digital asset credit platform concept, where a "trade-linked credit" architecture and AI risk engine convert trading behavior and RWA into precisely priced on-chain credit, offering institutional clients transparent, controllable yield products.
▎15:00-15:45 Capital Evolution Session: Focused on institutional entry paths, RWA tokenization integration, and on-chain credit mechanisms, emphasizing composable yield structures for bridging traditional financial assets.
▎15:45-16:30 Value Refactor Session: Explored AI agents as on-chain economic entities, covering autonomous asset management, AI strategy scheduling, and data-driven credit optimization.
▎16:30-17:15 Smart Finance Session: Deconstructed how AI smart matching, on-chain liquidity optimization, and decentralized derivatives protocols synergistically enhance capital efficiency.
▎18:40-20:30 Gatsby Cocktail Party & AI Demo Day: The evening began with a cocktail party, followed by keynote speeches and lucky draws. From 19:15 to 20:30, the AI Demo Day featured live demonstrations of AI-driven trading and asset management products, including dynamic asset optimization via AI arbitration and on-chain strategy scheduling, an AI-native digital asset credit engine with real-time risk control, and a perpetual contract protocol combining node governance and multi-chain architecture. Attendees witnessed AI agents executing complex trading strategies, completing credit assessments through real-time data streams, and structuring yield processes.
Over two days, AMPLIFY 2026 traced the evolution from institutional capital to on-chain asset value refactoring, then to smart liquidity reshaping growth, culminating in the AI Demo Day's practical demonstrations — a comprehensive deconstruction and empirical display of the "Quantifying Web 4.0 Growth" proposition. As Hong Kong's role in the global AI and Web3 landscape continues to rise, the ecosystem network forged at the summit will drive technology-enabled digital future growth paradigms.
