Next summer, the glamorous city-state on the French Riviera aims to expand its reputation beyond luxury yachts and glittering casinos.
From June 27 to 28, 2025, Monaco will host a far-reaching conference devoted to the most cutting-edge developments in Web3 technology—an event that could help solidify the principality’s growing role as a global innovation hub.
Organizers credit the 2024 NFT-focused festival in Brussels for inspiring this new and more comprehensive event.
With that as a springboard, this year’s program plans to go well beyond digital collectibles, delving into how artificial intelligence (AI) is changing blockchain-based platforms and exploring new applications of Bitcoin technology—specifically through advancements tied to the Ordinals protocol. By uniting three distinct tracks—the WAIB Summit, NFT FEST, and Ordinals Monaco—under one banner, participants will be able to examine how these fast-evolving fields intersect.
Spotlight on AI and Web3
Central to the gathering is the WAIB Summit, which will explore how AI’s rapid development is influencing Web3 infrastructure. Tech leaders and industry experts are expected to discuss the growing presence of intelligent systems in decentralized networks. Speakers will highlight how these innovations are reshaping the digital economy, from automated financial tools to more secure, AI-assisted blockchain platforms.
Although the conference builds on last year’s NFT festivities, organizers promise a richer cultural dimension for NFT FEST in 2025. In addition to art displays and interactive installations, the schedule includes workshops and conversations about how Web3 is transforming collaborative projects online. Through these sessions, attendees can learn about using non-fungible tokens to fund community-based initiatives, forge new art partnerships, and create sustainable revenue models.
Meanwhile, those fascinated by Bitcoin’s evolution may find their home at Ordinals Monaco. This track zeros in on the Ordinals protocol—a technology that has recently stirred significant interest in the blockchain community. Experts will address how Ordinals could unlock possibilities for digital assets, shape decentralized apps, and help redefine the future of Bitcoin’s blockchain infrastructure. Panel discussions are slated to touch on technical breakthroughs, real-world use cases, and potential regulatory implications.
Networking and New Possibilities
Beyond panels and presentations, attendees will have ample time to make contacts across various specialties. Startups hoping to catch the attention of venture capital firms will have curated spaces to showcase early-stage projects, while seasoned investors will likely be scanning the floor for next-generation solutions in gaming, finance, art, and data security. Organizers are positioning the event as a place not only to learn about emerging trends but also to forge meaningful partnerships.
For professionals immersed in Web3, Monaco’s upcoming conference offers a chance to stay up to date on a rapidly changing industry.
By weaving together expertise from AI, NFTs, and cutting-edge blockchain technology, participants can see how seemingly separate developments are converging into a single ecosystem.
Over the course of two days, this principality aims to become the focal point for discussions on decentralized technologies—and to help shape a future in which blockchain doesn’t merely support cryptocurrencies but also powers an entire new wave of digital innovation.
