Bio x AI Hackathon Launches with $125K+ Prize Pool

**DKGcon 2025 Day 2** featured hands-on workshops for building AI agents on the Decentralized Knowledge Graph. **Key Sessions:** - Zvonimir Šulac (OriginTrail Software Engineer) demonstrated building **DKG Agents** with reasoning, summarization, and data transformation capabilities - Infrastructure setup workshop for the new **DKG Edge Node** - the foundation for neuro-symbolic AI agents - Sessions focused on practical implementation rather than theory The conference continues OriginTrail's push into **trusted AI development** through decentralized knowledge graphs. Day 1 covered vision and roadmap, while Day 2 shifts to hands-on building. [Watch the live workshops](https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1djGXWdrZbOKZ?s=20) to learn agent development on the DKG platform.

**OriginTrail leadership presents major ecosystem update** Co-founders @DrevZiga, @TomazOT, and @BranaRakic unveiled OriginTrail's new strategic vision during a live presentation. **Key highlights:** - Introduction of the **Metcalfe Convergence Chapter** - Focus on exponential network effects through economic incentives - Integration of AI agents with trusted knowledge systems - Building shared content libraries to combat online harm in the AI era The presentation builds on OriginTrail's mission to power large-scale trade networks while expanding into AI-focused applications. **What's next:** The Metcalfe Convergence phase represents OriginTrail's evolution toward leveraging network effects for greater ecosystem impact.

**OriginTrail emphasizes privacy-preserving technology** in recent statements from co-founder and CTO Brana Rakic. Key features highlighted: - **Complete open-source architecture** for full transparency - **Data never leaves user devices** ensuring privacy protection - **In-depth visibility** into all system operations The technology's design prioritizes user control and data sovereignty. Users can verify exactly how their information is processed without compromising security. OriginTrail's approach addresses growing concerns about data privacy in decentralized systems. The open-source nature allows developers and users to audit the codebase independently. [Watch the full discussion](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEiJ4r-nMi4)

**OriginTrail and BSI representatives** will present at Polkadot's Arcadium event in Singapore on September 30. - **Tomaz from OriginTrail** and **Zhan Hao Yap from BSI UK** taking the stage - Focus on **enterprise adoption** in the blockchain space - Event scheduled for **15:45 GMT+9** The presentation will explore how enterprises are integrating blockchain technology and what the future holds for business adoption in the Web3 ecosystem. *Stay tuned for insights on real-world blockchain implementation.*

The OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) is advancing AI-driven healthcare through secure genomic and scientific data sharing. Working with partners including NVIDIA, University of Oxford, and The Alan Turing Institute, the platform enables: - Secure access to global scientific data - AI agent interaction with shared scientific memory - Real-time knowledge updates and verification The Messari report highlights OriginTrail as a crucial retrieval and storage layer for decentralized science (DeSci), particularly in healthcare applications. The platform's integration with BioProtocol allows AI agents to access and verify scientific knowledge in a decentralized manner.
