Valory - Annoucement V2 (1).png From Denver to Buenos Aires, across 10 events and 4 continents, our events franchise Agents Unleashed brought together 4,400+ builders, investors, and researchers around a single conviction: if AI agents are going to act autonomously in the world, then ownership, coordination, and incentives cannot live behind closed platforms. Introduced in March 2024, at a time when “AI agents” were still largely not well-understood, Agents Unleashed was designed to be practical and educational. The goal was simple: move the conversation from speculating to strategizing and achieving results. Hosted by Olas and coordinated by Valory, Agents Unleashed became a gathering place for builders, researchers, investors, and users working on AI agents to share what they were actually building and to learn and in some instances, coordinate around systems running in production, ideas in development, and patterns emerging across teams. Agents Unleashed gave visibility to the results of this work while also collectively propelling the space forward.

By the Numbers

Over 19 months from March 2024 - October 2025, Agents Unleashed grew into a global series of live events:
  • 10 events across 8 cities on 4 continents
  • 4,457+ attendees spanning builders, founders, investors, and researchers
  • 84 speakers from leading AI and crypto projects
  • 42 sponsors backing the vision of open, agent-driven systems
  • 24+ podcast episodes capturing long-form conversations with ecosystem leaders as well as analysis of key emerging trends and innovation
Major events included Denver twice during ETHDenver, Berlin, San Francisco, Brussels during ETHCC, Singapore twice during Token2049, Bangkok during Devcon, Cannes during ETHCC, and Buenos Aires during Devconnect. Each stop added more richness and information to the tenet that teams across the world are independently converging on user-owned AI, and the need for shared language and infrastructure is growing fast. We also utilized these live events to activate users onto Olas products, providing in-person 1:1 product onboarding assistance.

The Agents Unleashed Podcast

Alongside these Agents Unleashed live events, the Agents Unleashed Podcast was launched as a companion franchise to extend conversations beyond the stage. The podcast featured deep dives with builders and ecosystem leaders actively working on AI agents, capturing how AI agents and agent-based systems are being designed, deployed, and scaled in practice. Episodes explored real-world challenges, decisions, and emerging patterns across crypto and AI, creating shared context for a rapidly evolving space. Conversations featured builders such as Tomasz Stanczak, alongside founders and practitioners shaping agent infrastructure and coordination. Over time, the podcast has grown into an evergreen content library for anyone curious about AI agents. The Agents Unleashed Podcast is available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major platforms, and will continue to serve as a resource for builders, operators, and users navigating the agentic future.

Looking Ahead

The most meaningful outcome of Agents Unleashed to date is that it brought together a community of people working on AI agents to share best practices, innovations and common language, to ultimately unleash AI agents for the betterment of humanity. It gave credence, voice and visibility to the growing movement that supports user-owned AI for a human-first future. As the agent ecosystem accelerates into 2026, that work continues through the products and platforms emerging from the Olas ecosystem. Pearl, the consumer-facing AI agent store, is now live at pearl.you. Mech Marketplace supports agent-native infrastructure for enterprises. And Olas continues to power open, co-owned AI at scale.
